Join the Griffin Mill team for the opening of their new showroom

-

GRIFFIN Mill will be officially opening its new state-of-the-art Peugeot showroom on Saturday, November 4.

The new facelift will include a Peugeot Business and Van Centre with a new and dedicated business specialist offering a wide range of vehicles to businesses in South Wales. Customers, old and new, are invited along on Saturday to join in the celebratio­ns while viewing the latest range of Peugeot models. One of Griffin Mill’s experience­d technician­s will be on hand to answer any technical questions.

On the day, there will be a chance to be entered into a free prize draw to win a spa break for two.

Also on display is the all-new Peugeot 5008 SUV which will be available for customers to preview ahead of its January launch date.

Priced from £24,495 the new Peugeot 5008 moves the qualities of the award-winning 3008 SUV up a peg. Compared to the previous 5008, which was a convention­al MPV, the newcomer is a sea change for Peugeot and in the booming SUV market, it is a spectacula­r alternativ­e to the likes of the Nissan X-Trail and even Land Rover’s Discovery Sport.

With features such as the i-Cockpit – a multi-mode full-colour instrument panel with cascading graphics – and an interior design that is as contempora­ry as it is impressive, the 5008 is a car that stands out from the norm and is set to score as highly as its smaller sibling.

Almost eight inches longer than the 3008, the 5008 has a third row of two foldaway seats in the back; boot space ranging from a massive 952 litres to a van-like 2,150 litres; two fold-down picnic tables and acres of room in the rear.

As such, the 5008 is family-friendly and with the additional seats is a handy blend of MPV and SUV.

Factor in Peugeot’s Grip Control electronic traction system – an option across all four trim levels – and the 5008 is a highly competent softroader with a towing limit up to 1.8-tonnes.

The 5008 line-up kicks off with a 1.2-litre PureTech petrol model in Active trim with 130bhp on tap and, for the time being, tops out at £35,695 for a GT model powered by a 2.0-litre BlueHDi diesel developing 18bhp and mated to a six-speed auto box.

Griffin Mill Peugeot can be found at Upper Boat, Pontypridd CF37 5YE. Weekdays it is open from 8.30am to 6.30pm (6pm Fridays), Saturdays from 9am to 5pm and 10am to 4pm on Sundays. Call 01443 842216 for more informatio­n on the new showroom.
