Peugeot 3008 Lease Deals

This Is an All New 3008

Worth saying first, because the 3008 has been one of Britain's most popular family SUVs for years and this is not that car. The third generation arrived in 2024 on an entirely new platform, it is styled as a fastback SUV with a sloping coupé roofline, and it is around 10 centimetres longer than the one it replaced. It is also electrified across the whole range.

The headline is the electric version. The e-3008 Long Range manages up to 435 miles, which is genuinely among the best figures of any electric car at any price, let alone a family SUV. Among other badges, the Ford Kuga and the Renault Austral are the two most people put on the same shortlist.

The Peugeot 3008 Range

There is no diesel and no plain petrol 3008. Every version is electrified in some form, and the two "Hybrid" badges mean different things: the Hybrid 145 is a 48 volt mild hybrid with nothing to plug in, while the Plug-in Hybrid 225 is the one you charge.

Read the towing column and you will see something counter-intuitive. The mild hybrid is the worst tow car in the range at 1,000kg, and every electric version beats it. Only the plug-in hybrid, at 1,550kg, does better. That is the opposite of the usual pattern, where electric versions tow least, and it is worth knowing if you had assumed the cheapest version would be the most practical one.

Which e-3008 Battery?

Three electric versions, two batteries. The Electric 210 uses a 73kWh pack for up to 326 miles. The Long Range uses 97kWh for up to 435 miles, which is the reason most people are looking at this car. The Dual Motor goes back to the 73kWh battery but adds a second motor on the rear axle for all wheel drive and 325hp, which costs range, bringing it down to 306 to 308 miles.

All three charge at up to 160kW on a DC rapid charger, taking 27 to 30 minutes from 20 to 80 per cent, and all three have an 11kW three phase on-board charger. Notice that the Long Range is not slower to charge despite the much bigger battery; it is actually the quickest from 20 to 80 per cent, at 27 minutes.

Our pick is the Long Range, and not just for the headline. At 435 miles it takes range out of the decision entirely, it charges as fast as the others, and the only thing it gives up against the Dual Motor is acceleration you probably do not need. The Dual Motor is the one to have only if you specifically want all wheel drive.

Boot Space, and What It Does Not Cost You

This is where the 3008 does something most rivals cannot. 588 litres with the seats up and 1,663 litres folded, and that is the figure for the mild hybrid, the plug-in hybrid AND the single motor electric versions alike. Neither the plug-in hybrid's battery nor the e-3008's costs you a single litre of boot space, which is unusual and is a strong practical argument for the electrified versions.

The only exception is the Dual Motor, at 544 litres and 1,619 litres, because the rear motor takes up some of the space under the floor. The boot floor runs to 1,843mm long with the seats down, and every version has five seats; if you need seven, that is the 5008, which is the same car stretched.

The Plug-in Hybrid and Company Car Tax

If you looked at this car in 2024 the CO2 figure will have changed dramatically and the car has not. The previous Plug-in Hybrid 195 was quoted at 19 to 20g/km. The current Plug-in Hybrid 225 is quoted at 55g/km. That is a European emissions standard called Euro 6e-bis, which lowered the share of driving the test assumes you do on battery and roughly tripled the quoted CO2 of every plug-in hybrid on sale.

Because company car tax is set by CO2, the Autumn Budget 2025 confirmed a measure to deal with it: an eligible plug-in hybrid is treated as 1g/km for Benefit in Kind purposes, applied back to 1 January 2025 and running to 5 April 2028, with transitional arrangements extending further for some cars. One of the conditions is a quoted CO2 figure of 51g/km or more, and at 55g/km the 3008 Plug-in Hybrid appears to clear that threshold where some rivals sit just below it. There are further conditions covering the registration date, the emissions standard the car is registered under and its electric range. Benefit in Kind rates are set per tax year and change on a published schedule, and we are a credit broker rather than a tax adviser, so ask us for the CO2 on the exact derivative and let your accountant confirm the position. Our business leasing guides cover the groundwork.

How Safe Is the Peugeot 3008?

Read this carefully, because a great deal of what is published about the 3008's safety rating is wrong, including on sites that ought to know better.

The current 3008 scored four stars, tested and published in May 2025, with 82 per cent for adult occupant protection, 85 per cent for child occupant protection, 79 per cent for vulnerable road users and 62 per cent for safety assistance. Euro NCAP carried out that test on the e-3008 with the 73kWh battery, so the current generation does have a rating of its own, and it runs until around 2031.

But you will find the 3008 widely described as a five star car with 86 per cent for adult occupant protection. Those are the previous generation's figures, from a 2016 test, and they have expired. We are being blunt about it because it is the most commonly repeated error about this car and because it flatters it: the current 3008 is a four star car, not a five star one. The 62 per cent for safety assistance is the weakest element of the result. None of that makes it unsafe, and 79 per cent for vulnerable road users is a good modern score, but it is not what the internet will tell you.

The i-Cockpit, Fixed

Peugeot's small steering wheel and high set instruments divide people, and on the 208 and 308 UK reviewers regularly report that taller drivers cannot see the dials over the wheel rim. On this car Peugeot appears to have solved it. Auto Express's reviewers wrote in July 2026 that the wheel "isn't placed to block the instruments unless you have the seat in a particularly odd position", and Autocar found the display "sits sufficiently high on the dash so as to prevent the wheel from obscuring the digital instrumentation". The small wheel itself still divides testers on how the steering feels, with some finding it over assisted at speed, but the visibility complaint that dogs the smaller Peugeots is not a problem here. We would still suggest sitting in one, because it is an unusual driving position however well executed.

Leasing a Peugeot 3008

Two numbers drive most of your monthly cost: the initial rental and your annual mileage. A larger initial rental brings the monthly figure down, and the mileage you choose sets the contract. Excess mileage is charged at the end of the agreement, so give us the honest number rather than the optimistic one.

On trims, Peugeot has been moving the range around during 2026 and the published names do not currently agree with each other, with Allure and GT appearing both plainly and with a Plus suffix depending on where you look. Rather than print a list that may be wrong, tell us what equipment matters to you and we will confirm the exact trim and specification on the quote. Any listing showing Active, Active Premium or GT Line is the previous generation car.

That is the main thing to watch here, because the trade data mixes the two generations under one model name. The tells are reliable: a 1.2 PureTech 130, a 1.5 BlueHDi, a HYBRID 225 e-EAT8 or a HYBRID4 300 is the old car, and so is any 3008 measuring around 4,447mm rather than 4,542mm. The current car uses Hybrid 145, Plug-in Hybrid 225 and Electric 210, 230 or 325. Match the badge rather than the model name, and send anything that looks inconsistent over to us.
