PARIS – January 10, 2011: Peugeot’s award winning 3008 Crossover range now includes two new models: the 3008 SR and 3008 ENVY Special Edition.

The Peugeot 3008 is the perfect choice for customers who are looking for something different. Whether these customers currently drive a conventional saloon, 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.

Now the previous three model line up, Active, Sport and Exclusive, has been extended to include a new SR model with standard fitment of Peugeot’s Grip Control, and the Special Edition 3008 ENVY.

The SR model is based on the Sport model but includes the following extra standard specification: RNEG Colour Satellite Navigation, Bluetooth, Grip Control and 16” Alloy wheels with Mud + Snow tyres. It is available with Peugeot’s latest Euro 5 HDi 112 diesel engine and either a six-speed manual gearbox or six-speed electronically controlled manual gearbox (EGC). Aimed mainly at Fleet customers it has CO2 emission levels of between 129 & 135 g/km.

The second new model is the 3008 ENVY Special Edition which again is based on the Sport model but provides customers with ”Exclusive” levels of desirability. It builds on the standard specification of the Sports model with the following extra standard specification: Dark tinted rear windows, Exterior Styling Pack (Aluminium Detailing), Head-up Display and Cielo Panoramic Glass Roof. All this extra specification is included for just £600 more than the equivalent Sport version. It is available with either a 1.6 litre VTi 120 petrol engine or HDi 112 Euro 5 diesel engine. Both models come with a manual gearbox, five-speed for the VTi and six-speed for the HDi 112.
