I guess you’re all aware of Nissan’s success with its Qahqai model. Motivated by this, Peugeot is currently working to release on the market a better car – the new 3008 crossover.

This new car will borrow the Prologue concept and will be codenamed T84.

The two-wheel-drive 3008 will hit the show rooms in 2009 and will prepare the market for the AWD version scheduled for 2011. The former will come equipped with diesel and petrol engines while the latter will use a hybrid powertrain powered by 197hp that will deliver 109g/km of CO2 emissions.

According to some people the car will welcome its buyers with a £1,000 (around $1,500) price tag.
