Compare performance, efficiency, price and space directly: Kia Sportage or Peugeot 3008?
The SUV segment continues to be fiercely competitive, with an increasing number of models entering the field. Today, we pit the Kia Sportage against the Peugeot 3008. Both models exude modernity and versatility, but what's under the hood and inside the cabin is what ultimately sets them apart. Let's dig deeper into the specifications and innovations each offers.
The Kia Sportage offers a broader range of engine types. From Diesel MHEV and Petrol MHEV to Full Hybrid, Petrol, and Plugin Hybrid, Sportage has something for every type of driver. Its power output ranges from 136 HP in the Diesel MHEV to a robust 252 HP for the plug-in hybrid variant. The available drivetrain choices include Front-Wheel and All-Wheel Drive, providing better flexibility for various driving conditions.
The Peugeot 3008 offers fewer powertrain choices but impresses with its inclusion of electric options. The engine lineup encompasses a blend of Petrol MHEV and Plugin Hybrid engines, alongside electric variants. Its power figures range between 136 HP to 231 HP for the top hybrids. However, all 3008 models are equipped with a Front-Wheel Drive system. The standout feature is its electric variant, offering an electric range of up to 698 km, reflecting Peugeot's focus on eco-friendly mobility.
Fuel efficiency is increasingly crucial for modern SUV buyers. The Kia Sportage offers different consumption figures, with the most efficient being its Plugin Hybrid variant at just 1.2 L/100km. However, its CO2 efficiency spans from classes B to F, revealing a mix of emissions performances across different models.
Peugeot 3008 shines with its electric credentials, boasting zero emissions in its full electric models. The Plugin Hybrid models offer an impressive consumption of just 0.9 L/100km.

While slightly less than the Sportage's, it compensates with additional payload options, ranging up to 524 kg, compared to Sportage's maximum payload of 565 kg. Peugeot’s wider and marginally lower vehicle provides better stability and a broader stance on the road.
In terms of acceleration, the Kia Sportage has a performance range from 11.6 seconds to a swifter 8.3 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h, depending on the variant. Top speeds extend from 180 km/h up to 194 km/h.

The Kia Sportage and Peugeot 3008 both bring a lot to the table, catering to various customer needs and priorities. The Sportage stands out with its variety of drivetrain options and better trunk space, while the 3008 takes a leap forward with its electric variants and strong eco credentials. Whichever model one chooses, both vehicles ensure a refined driving experience combined with the practicality expected from a compact SUV. As always, the choice ultimately depends on individual priorities, whether it's powertrain variety or a commitment to sustainability.
