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, offering 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 and retaining 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 with speed limiter, LED daytime running lights, front electric windows, Bluetooth, and air conditioning. Peugeot also point outs that it has a spare wheel, 17” alloy wheels (16” with mud and snow tyres for the grip control option ), leather steering wheel with gearstick lever, six airbags, hill assist and an aluminium finish Adventure Pack.
Grip control is an optional extra priced from €250, giving 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.
Colin Sheridan, sales and marketing director at Gowan Distributors, says the new Peugeot 3008 Commercial is an ideal choice for professionals seeking a stylish vehicle that offers flexibility and ample load capacity to meet growing business demands.
"The welcome arrival of the new van coincides with a very strong performance from our van range in 2015, when we’ve seen a 51 per cent jump in registrations across our Partner, Expert and Boxer vans. The new 3008 Commercial will undoubtedly further strengthen our range in 2015 and beyond.”
