Gowan Distributors Limited, the Peugeot importers in Ireland, has unveiled the 3008 Commercial. The refined new van is based on the current 3008 Crossover Active 1.6 HDi 115bhp passenger car version, and offers a large load volume of up to 1241 dm3 or 1604 litres.
It qualifies for 5.9 per cent APR low-cost finance and comes with a three-year warranty. On sale now from €25,095 plus delivery or from €20,964 ex-VAT, a second version comes equipped with Peugeot’s patented Grip Control technology and retails from €25,345 plus delivery or from €21,173 ex-VAT.
Adopting the same existing front face, body and elegant cabin, it retains all of the comfort and standard equipment of the Peugeot 3008 Active model.
The new 3008 Commercial comes with a bulkhead fitted and rear parking aid, electric folding mirrors, automatic headlamps and wipers, front fog lamps, cruise control and speed limiter, LED daytime running lights, front electric windows, Bluetooth and air conditioning.
Grip control is an optional extra, priced from €250, and gives excellent control of the vehicle’s traction on all road surfaces. The driver operates a simple mode selector to choose from four settings: standard road, snow, sand, or off mode. Combined with the mud and snow tyres, the system varies the amount of slip and traction to the wheels to ensure the driver pulls off with little drama, even on snow and ice.
