UK car magazine Whatcar has crowned Peugeot's 3008 'Whatcar Car of the Year 2010'.
The 3008 recently won the most prestigious award in Ireland when it was named Continental Irish Car of the Year 2010 by the Irish Motoring Writers' Association (IMWA).
Whatcar said: "Nissan might argue that its Qashqai ignited the new breed of crossover, but Peugeot has taken the idea and run with it - and it's running very well.
"The 3008 may not be pretty, but it has the rugged looks that will tempt people out of their 4x4s (although punitive running costs are doing a pretty good job of that, too).
"If the outside isn't that attractive, the interior is far more appealing: made with high-quality materials and styled in a striking and user-friendly fashion.
"It's spacious, too, with all the room inside that a modern family should need'. "
Peugeot's 5008 PMV won its category, too (see our video archive).
