Peugeot will launch the 3008 SUV in 2010. It will come to compete with models like Ford Kuga, Nissan Qashqai and Volkswagen Tiguan.

It's design will be inspired by its big brother, the 4007. The 3008 will be offered in five and seven-seat configurations, with the latter featuring a third row of fold-flat chairs.

Customers will also be able to choose between two and four-wheel-drive versions, with base models front-drive only, to keep emissions and fuel consumption as low as possible.

The future SUV will be offered with a mix of 1.6-litre turbo petrol and diesel engines.
