Peugeot 3008 Review
2017-2023
The Peugeot 3008 (P84 First & Second Facelift) is an award-winning European luxury crossover in Kenya. Celebrated for its futuristic aircraft-style toggle switches, 12.3-inch digital i-Cockpit, raised 219 mm ground clearance, and Advanced Grip Control terrain selector, it offers premium refinement without German luxury price tags.

What’s good
- High 219 mm ground clearance: Effortlessly clears deep speed bumps and unpaved upcountry tracks.
- Stunning aircraft i-Cockpit: Satin chrome toggle switches and 12.3-inch digital display.
- Sub-2,000 cc KRA duty advantage: 1.2T, 1.5D, and 1.6T engines qualify for 25% excise duty rate.
What’s not so good
- FWD only (non-PHEV): Relies on Advanced Grip Control rather than mechanical dual-axle 4WD.
- High-spec electrical system: Requires certified Peugeot diagnostic tools for servicing.
