UK have started taking orders for the

he eagerly awaited all-new
Peugeot 3008 is an important
arrival in the SUV C segment
market, a rapidly growing
category of vehicles throughout
the world, and is now available
to order in December, with first vehicles arriving
in Dealership showrooms across the UK timed
for 28th January 2017.
The new Peugeot 3008 SUV arrives at a time
when customers are ever increasingly
expecting differentiation and new experiences,
with very strong assets. Whether through its
revolutionary, latest generation Peugeot iCockpit®, its remarkably inspired style, or its
high-tech equipment, the new Peugeot 3008
SUV aims to establish itself immediately as a
key player.
The all-new Peugeot 3008 SUV is a wellequipped, sophisticated and stylish vehicle that
combines efficiency, high-specification, highlevel of safety and technological equipment and
unique features. The UK range starts with a
‘level 2’ specification vehicle (no level 1 in the
UK) – so that every model will feature the latest
Peugeot i-Cockpit®; compact steering wheel,
the very latest configurable 12.3" head-up
digital instrument panel and an 8.0" capacitive
T
touch-screen.
The range starts from £21,795 with a wellspecified ‘Active’ model that has so many
standard features, key among which is a host
of safety equipment ordinarily only available on
top-of-the-range models. These include; AEBS
– Automatic Emergency Braking System,
adaptive driver and front passenger airbags
(includes passenger airbag deactivation
function), driver and front passenger side, front
and rear curtain airbags, CDS - Dynamic
Stability Control and ASR - Electronic Anti-skid
System, driver attention alert system, Isofix
child seat fittings (x3) in the front passenger
and outer rear seats, programmable cruise
control and speed limiter, and speed limit
recognition and recommendation. As a
consequence of these and other safety
features, substantially reduced repair costs and
a 5-star EuroNCAP safety rating, the all-new
3008 SUV has insurance ratings from just 11E
(20A on the previous model).
There is a choice of four trim levels – ‘Active’,
‘Allure’ (expected best-selling version), ‘GT
Line’ and the top-of-the-range ‘GT’ and a wide
choice of engines is available, with CO2
emissions from just 103g/km.
Petrol engine versions are 130hp and 165hp,
with CO2 emissions of 117 to 129g/km, with the
1.2-litre PureTech 3-cylinder turbo engine,
voted Engine of the Year in its category for the
second-year running and the 1.6L THP. The
PureTech 130 is available in 6-speed manual or
EAT6 automatic transmission while the 165hp is
mated to the 6-speed EAT6 automatic.
Four Diesel engines are available, model
dependent, with advanced BlueHDi technology
that makes it possible to keep the CO2
emissions low, between 103 and 124g/km, with
power ranging between 100, 120,150 and
180hp.

“The Mitsubishi L200 name has been with us
for more than 30 years and the latest model is
better than ever. It delivers on its promise of

rugged ability with some neat detailing and an
impressive amount of equipment, while it packs
a strong 2.4-litre four-cylinder diesel engine that
allows you to tow over three tonnes. It’s also
the most car-like pickup to drive on-road and
extremely capable off-road. Despite all this, it
can return more than 40mpg. Combine that
with competitive pricing and a number of
desirable high-spec models and it’s clear why
the L200 is our best pickup.”
Lance Bradley, Managing Director of
Mitsubishi Motors UK, commented, “Tough and
rugged vehicles like the L200 and Shogun are
what the Mitsubishi name has been built on
over the past 100 years and our engineers
continually strive to ensure our 4X4 vehicles
remain the benchmark in their segments. We’re
delighted that Carbuyer has recognised the
qualities that have made the Mitsubishi L200 a
critical and commercial success.”
The latest generation Mitsubishi L200 went
on sale in July 2015 and has claimed numerous
accolades since launch. Priced from
£17,999.00 (CV List Price), the Mitsubishi L200
is available in single, club and double cab body
styles and has a payload of up to 1,045kg and
a towing capacity of up to 3.1 tonnes (braked).
The fifth generation Mitsubishi L200 is currently
available with zero percent finance.
