Peugeot has a wide range of new products, but still lags behind Fiat - a brand with a very old and limited model range - in terms of sales.
These two companies are under the umbrella of Stellantis which is one of the largest car manufacturers in the world.
The French company wants to speed up its game and is working on a new generation for one of its most popular vehicles.
The latest generation 3008 has been spotted on several occasions and we have new renderings previewing its final design to share with you.
What you see in the gallery below are digital images from Kolesa.ru, depicting the third-generation 3008.
The model was originally launched in 2008 as a compact family van, which was transformed into a crossover for the second generation released in May 2016.
Camouflaged prototypes have confirmed that the third-generation model will once again undergo a metamorphosis and will receive a roof shape inspired by the shape of a coupe.
However, it will still be a C-segment SUV according to European nomenclature.
As you can see from the images, the front fascia is expected to borrow design influences from the Peugeot 408.
The latter is a more sophisticated version of the C-segment that uses the EMP2 architecture shared with the 308 hatchback and wagon.
The main similarities between the two products are expected to be the radiator grille and lower bumper grille. There are some similarities to the headlights, which on the new 3008 will be slimmer than the existing model.
Peugeot has shared official photos of the new 3008's interior.
The highlight of the cabin is the new 21-inch curved screen located atop the dashboard. For those who prefer physical buttons for the most common functions in a car, the automaker has a new i-Toggles feature.
Simply put, it's 10 touch buttons that can be configured to better suit the needs of the driver and front passenger with their favorite shortcut functions.
The STLA Medium-based model will debut in September this year when all the details will be unveiled.
The French SUV is expected to go on sale with various electric combustion engines. A fully electric version will also be available.
