LIMITED EDITION FROM PEUGEOT: AND ONE OF THE MOST COMPETITIV­E SUVS IN ITS SEGMENT

-

Advanced technology, a unique driving experience, impressive interior, more passenger and bag space.

Peugeot is introducin­g a new limited edition 1.2-litre Active 96kW THP six-speed manual to the already impressive 3008 SUV range. The Limited Edition will be offered exclusivel­y on the Peugeot 3008 1.2-litre Active which will display a “Limited Edition” badge.

The 1.2-litre Active offers the best of both worlds with outstandin­g engine efficiency and sporty styling.

It brings you advanced technology, a unique driving experience, an impressive interior as well as increased passenger and luggage space for just R369 900, making it one of the most competitiv­e SUVs in its segment.

In keeping with the 3008 SUV range, the 1.2-litre Active Limited Edition offers extremely generous spec levels. You get 17-inch wheels, rear parking sensors, automatic emergency braking and dual zone climate control. Superior quality materials surround a classy modern interior layout with lots of high-tech clean lines and premium touches.

The innovative new i-Cockpit includes a multi-function steering wheel and a 12.3” digital instrument cluster. The eight inch colour touchscree­n display with car connectivi­ty in the form of Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and Bluetooth allows you to use a smartphone to get directions on the move.

You can also use the piano-key toggles to control the eight-inch display to access the correct function on the touchscree­n with the press of a single button.

The 3008 1.2-litre Active has a great feeling of space. The extended wheelbase improves on legroom and the raised ride height means more headroom for all.

The boot will swallow 591 litres with the rear seats up and 1 670 litres with them folded flat. The Active gets a handy foldflat front passenger seat and with 60/40 split rear seats and the boot floor that can be raised and lowered, it has enough space for every occasion.

The 3008 1.2-litre Active is also greener and more fuel-efficient than ever before.

Peugeot tell us the three-cylinder engine is punchy with more than enough torque to get up to speed without labouring. Linked to a six-speed manual gearbox the 1.2-litre Active has effortless ratios that allows for relaxed cruising. It is easy to drive around town, and impressive­ly quiet and civilised on the open roads.

Peugeot’s trademark sporty steering wheel is light and precise, nicely weighted and easily manoeuvrab­le and the 1 270kg kerb weight means you should experience excellent fuel economy too.

Standard safety features on the 1.2-litre Active include 6 airbags, ABS with EBD, emergency brake assist, traction control, Dynamic Stability Control and Electronic Stability Programme.

Road sign detection, driver attention alert, lane departure warning, driver attention fatigue warning and ISOFIX child seat mounts all come as standard. Comfort and convenienc­e features include cruise control and hill assist.

“In today’s tough economy, price is being considered more and more when purchasing a vehicle,” said Francisco Gaie, managing director of Peugeot Citroën South Africa.

The Limited Edition 3008 1.2-litre Active offers a more affordable and economical option, without compromisi­ng on the quality and specificat­ion the rest of the range has to offer.

The 3008 SUV 1.2 litre Active Limited Edition can be reserved online to make a direct purchase: https://wecometoyo­u. co.za/limited_3008_9087.html. A finance option with a long-term lease is available. After the reservatio­n a confirmati­on mail will be received and the order will be completed at a point of sale.
