Peugeot 3008 spotted out testing in China


As Peugeot are planning to up their market share to 8% of the Chinese market, they are going to need some new models. Their current Chinese model is entirely made up of hatchbacks, and then sedans which are essentially notchback versions of the hatches, although Peugeot have stated before that they do plan to build some China only models which will take in various Chinese ideas and styles for the local market. Peugeot is currently lacking a crossover model in a market where crossover and compact SUV’s are king, hence their willingness to launch the Peugeot 3008 in China.

The 3008 was recently spotted out testing in China, and is expected to make a launch at the Beijing Auto Show later this year
