http://www.peugeot.ie/templates/peugeot06/microsites/3008/index.html

Peugeot’s stunning new 3008 will go on sale at Peugeot Dealerships nationwide from the end of October. The outstanding new car, designed to meet Peugeot’s demanding requirements for quality, reliability, road-holding and safety, will be introduced in Ireland from €24,900 plus dealer delivery related charges.
The Peugeot 3008 is aimed directly at the heart of the medium car segment and is the perfect choice for customers who are looking for something different. Whether these customers currently drive a conventional saloon car, MPV, SUV or a hatchback, the 3008 provides a new alternative which spans all these different vehicle types. It has the flexibility and space of an MPV, the rugged looks of an SUV and the vehicle dynamics of a family hatchback.
Peugeot will offer three models in the 3008 range in Ireland. The level 1, SE model (from €24,900), will have as standard manual aircon, leather steering wheel and gear lever, 17” steel wheels, cloth interior trim, electrochrome rear view mirror, space saver spare wheel, remote central locking with deadlocks, multi position boot floor, split tailgate and front electric windows. Across the three models, safety equipment includes ESP, ABS, electronic brake force distribution, corner brake control, traction control, six airbags (driver, passenger, side and curtain), hill assist, electric childlocks and seat belt fastening warning.
The Level 2 SX model will retail in Ireland from €26,545 plus dealer delivery related charges and will have as standard over and above the Level 1 SE Model, cruise control + speed limiter, 17’’ alloy wheels, front + rear electric windows, electric folding mirrors, IPOD and MP3 plug-in, USB box / bluetooth, height adjustable driver / passenger seats & steering wheel, auto headlamps and wipers, follow-me home headlamps, 12-volt sockets, trip computer, split tailgate and body coloured handles / mirrors.
The Level 3 SV model will retail in Ireland from €29,495 plus dealer delivery related charges and will have as standard over and above the SX model, dual zone automatic climate control, driver seat lumbar support, blinds in row 2, rear parking aid, head up display, athermic windscreen, 18’’ alloy wheels, and the cielo panoramic roof.
The Peugeot 3008 is not only spacious, safe and practical it also offers high levels of active and passive protection for all its occupants. The in-built safety of the Peugeot 3008 has resulted in the vehicle being awarded five stars by Euro NCAP, under its new test procedures.
At launch there will be a 1.6 HDi diesel 110bhp engine offered with a choice of a 6-speed manual gearbox or electronically controlled Eco gearbox – a real alternative for automatic drivers faced with high fuel costs and road tax charges in Ireland. Peugeot’s famous 1.6 HDi 110bhp engine in both manual and Eco form qualifies for 16% VRT and €156 annual road tax, thanks to frugal fuel consumption and low CO2 emissions at 137g/km and 130g/km respectively.
The award-winning 1.6 150bhp petrol International Engine of the Year option will be available to Irish customers as a special order model.
Speaking at the press launch at Brook Lodge and Spa, Co. Wicklow, Mark Hayes, Marketing Manager at Peugeot Ireland said, “The arrival of the new Peugeot 3008 marks a new era for Peugeot in terms of outstanding quality. In addition, our new pricing policy has allowed us to introduce this important new model at a very aggressive price, loaded with standard comfort and safety equipment. We are very confident that the success of the new model in Ireland will mirror that of the rest of Europe, where demand has already exceeded expectations by 40%.”
