The Peugeot 3008 has shed its awkward roots and morphed into a bold SUV with sweeping lines, an aggressive stance, and signature claw-shaped lights that could be mistaken for a feline prowling the night. Its rakish roofline speaks volumes about style, resembling a fashionable coupe. On the other hand, the Nissan Qashqai also struts its stuff with a more conservative but still appealing exterior. It’s got a smart facelift, with sharper edges and a distinctive grill, but it lacks the pizzazz of the 3008. Still, the Qashqai manages to hold its own with a refined and modern appeal.
In the styling department, the Peugeot 3008 takes a slight edge with its dramatic looks and upscale design elements. While the Nissan Qashqai is handsome in its own right, it feels more like a safe choice that doesn't quite scream 'head-turner' as effectively as the Peugeot does.

BOBI'S VERDICT
With prices starting around £30,135 for the Qashqai and slightly edging higher for the Peugeot 3008, both are competitive in their market. The Peugeot offers a premium feel but at a steeper price point, while the Nissan has a wider range of affordable options without sacrificing key features. For breakdowns of different trims, see Peugeot 3008 trims and Nissan Qashqai trims. The mid-spec N-Connecta Qashqai trim is often touted as providing the best value for money.
So, who takes the prize in this family SUV face-off? The Peugeot 3008 wows with its futuristic design and tremendous tech appeal, but the Nissan Qashqai offers a practical, spacious, and more relaxed driving experience at a slightly lower price. If you’re after a bit of flair and advanced features, go for the 3008. But if you want utilitarian comfort without breaking the bank, the Qashqai might just be the MVP you need in the family arena.

The 3008 provides ample legroom and headroom, but some may find that raised floor a tad annoying. On the flip side, the Qashqai boasts generous space in both rows of seats, making it a more comfortable option for taller passengers, thanks to better rear seating flexibility. For listings of both models, visit here and here.
While the Peugeot 3008 dazzles with its innovative design, the Nissan Qashqai steals the comfort crown, promising spaciousness that works better for family needs.
Driving the 3008 feels smooth, albeit not particularly exhilarating, as it leans into corners with a soft suspension setup. The Qashqai, while comfortable, suffers a bit from body lean too but fares better with its more engaging dynamics, especially with the N-Connecta trim on 18-inch wheels. For a detailed comparison of driving experiences, see here.
The 3008's advanced driver assistance features are solid, but it’s the Qashqai that wins here with its impressive ProPilot system that offers semi-autonomous driving capabilities alongside an adaptive cruise control that's easier to manage.
Though the Peugeot 3008 delivers a comfortable driving experience, the Nissan Qashqai proves to be more fun to drive and offers a bit more engagement on the road.
The 3008's infotainment system is like a tech lover’s dream, with a quick and responsive interface set within a colossal 21-inch screen that keeps you entertained and informed. The Qashqai's new 12.3-inch touch screen is also commendable and includes wireless compatibility with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, though it can get a bit cluttered while navigating.
Both vehicles are well-equipped with features like adaptive cruise control, but the Qashqai's enhanced safety kit—including blind-spot monitoring—gives it a nudge ahead. The Peugeot's interior lighting and overall ambiance create a more premium feel.
Peugeot's 3008 sports a 520-litre boot that’s decent but not the biggest out there, while the Qashqai, with a variable boot size between 454 and 504 litres depending on the trim, has a handy false floor for additional storage options.
Tech-wise, the Peugeot 3008 easily claims the crown with its advanced systems and stunning screens. However, the Qashqai keeps its head above water with practical features and a solid infotainment system.
