Peugeot 3008 2026 Review: Specs and Features in Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia: The 2026 Peugeot 3008 arrives in Saudi Arabia as a fully redesigned version of one of Peugeot's core SUV nameplates. The 3008 comes in two trims, Allure and GT. Both share the same 1.6L turbo petrol engine but differ sharply in tech, comfort, and safety equipment. Here is a full breakdown of what each trim offers.

Engine and Performance

Every 3008 in Saudi Arabia shares the same powertrain, a 1.6L turbocharged petrol engine paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifts:

Spec	Peugeot 3008 (Allure and GT)
Engine	1.6L Turbo Petrol
Power	180 hp @ 5,000 rpm (132 kW)
Torque	300 Nm @ 2,000 rpm
Transmission	6-speed automatic with paddle shifts
Front Suspension	Pseudo Mac-Pherson, independent wheels
Rear Suspension	Twist beam, semi-independent wheels
Acceleration (0-100 km/h)	8.7 seconds
Top Speed	215 km/h
Fuel Consumption (Combined, NEDC)	Up to 12.6 km/L
Maximum CO2 Emissions	180 g/km
Euro Classification	Euro 6

Both trims are mechanically identical, so the choice between Allure and GT comes down entirely to equipment and comfort features rather than performance. The 8.7-second 0-100 km/h time and 215 km/h top speed are solid, everyday-usable figures for a compact SUV rather than a performance-focused setup, positioning the 3008 as a comfortable daily driver first.

Allure vs GT: Trim Comparison

Both trims share the same engine and powertrain, and the same 8.7-second 0-100 km/h time and 215 km/h top speed are solid. The major difference between the Allure vs GT  is in the equipment and comfort features rather than performance.

Feature	Allure	GT
Headlamps	Automatic Eco-LED with DRL	Automatic Matrix-LED with adaptive high beam assist
Rear Tail Lights	LED	3D LED
Door Mirrors	Electric folding with welcome light	Electric folding with welcome light, memory, and reverse tilt
Panoramic Sunroof	Not available	Standard, with electric curtain, one-touch
Roof	Standard	Nera Black diamond (two-tone)
Infotainment	10-inch panoramic dual display touchscreen	21-inch curved panoramic touchscreen with navigation
Wireless Charger	Not available	Standard
Cruise Control	Standard, with speed limiter	Adaptive Cruise Control with stop & go
Parking Sensors	Rear only, with 180-degree camera	Front and rear, with 360-degree round view monitor
Seat Trim	Jacquard fabric	Alcantara stitched and embossed (electric, massage, memory)
Steering Wheel	Split leather	Full grain leather with colored stitching and GT logo
Rear Spoiler	Body-colored	Glossy black
Interior Ambient Lighting	Not available	8 color options

The GT trim represents a substantial upgrade over the base Allure. It changes the  10-inch dual display to a 21-inch curved panoramic touchscreen with navigation, with other meaningful upgrades like adaptive cruise control with stop & go and a 360-degree parking camera. 

Interior and Comfort

Peugeot 3008's interior is built around a Driving Mood Selector with configurable ambient lighting and AGR-certified front seats. Key interior specifications include:

Technology: The Panoramic i-Cockpit

The New Panoramic i-Cockpit is one of the 3008's four main advantages. The 21-inch curved display "sits neatly on the dash" alongside intuitive i-Toggles and a compact steering wheel. This top-spec display is exclusive to the GT trim, while the Allure trim uses a 10-inch panoramic dual display setup. Both trims share:

• Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility
• DAB radio
• Keyless entry with push-start and passive entry
• Automatic dual-zone air conditioning with an air quality filter
• Front and rear A/C vents

The GT adds Virtual i-Toggles, a wireless charger, and a hands-free power tailgate, while the Allure trim uses a standard remote-operated boot opening.

Safety and Driver Assistance

The 3008 comes with more than 40 driving aids shared across both trims, including:

• ABS and ESP (Electronic Stability Program)
• Hill Start Assist and Traction Control
• SRS airbags: front, side (first row), and curtain airbags (first and second row)
• ISOFIX, 3-point anchors with top tether on side rear seats
• Rear seatbelts, 3-point with pre-tensioners and load limiters
• Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (indirect)
• Active Lane Keep Assist and Extended Traffic Sign Recognition
• Active Emergency Braking (AEB)

The GT trim adds Grip Control and Hill Descent Control that add extra confidence on loose or uneven surfaces.

Final Verdict

The 2026 Peugeot 3008 in Saudi Arabia impresses with a striking fastback SUV design and modern cabin technology. The Allure covers all the basics with the same 180 hp engine, a full driver-assist safety suite, and a usable dual-screen infotainment setup. The GT trim makes it more premium and advanced with the signature 21-inch curved i-Cockpit display, adaptive cruise control, a 360-degree camera, and genuinely premium seating options.
