2025 Peugeot 3008 Petrol · HS25 RBX

The 21-inch curved panoramic i-Cockpit display on Mk3 models can suffer from software instability. Reported issues include the satellite navigation showing a blank screen, sluggish screen transitions, slow menu response and climate controls being buried in sub-menus rather than accessible via physical switches. Because heating and demisting are controlled through the touchscreen, a frozen or unresponsive display prevents cabin temperature adjustment while driving. Dealership firmware updates are typically required to resolve the issue.

The six-speed e-DCS6 dual-clutch automatic gearbox fitted to the 1.2 Hybrid 145 can show hesitation, shudder or jerky shifts, particularly at low speeds in urban traffic. Reviewers have described the gearbox as dim-witted or slow to respond. The hesitation is most noticeable when pulling away from a standstill or during low-speed manoeuvres. Software updates may improve shift quality, but the fundamental calibration can still feel unrefined compared with a conventional torque-converter automatic.

A safety recall (R/2024/497) affects 3008 Mk3 models built from July 2023 to February 2025, where the bolts holding the ball-joint brackets on the front lower control arms may break. If two bolts fail, steering control could be affected. Over 26,000 cars across the 3008 and 5008 Mk3 were covered by the recall campaigns. Used buyers must confirm by VIN that the bracket bolts have been checked or replaced under the recall.
