Zen Cars Imports is your reliable partner for importing Peugeot 3008s from Japan to Kenya. We give you access to higher trims, better features, and greater value .
The 3008 is Peugeot's first crossover vehicle. The lineup includes the basic model Allure, which packs in the appeal of a 180 horsepower, 1.6L twin scroll turbo engine, comprehensive safety equipment, and a spacious and functional luggage space; the Allure LED Package, which is equipped with full LED headlights and a black diamond roof; the GT Line and GT Blue HDi, which are equipped with a full range of safety and comfort equipment. The GT Blue HDi is equipped with a newly developed 8-speed automatic EAT8, and a new option, the First Class Package, which combines high-end equipment (electric seats, heated seats, multi-point lumbar support, park assist, panoramic sunroof). The Allure LED Package is also equipped with active cruise control. The Blue HDi Clean Edition, a special edition vehicle that comes standard with advanced safety equipment (lane keep assist, blind spot monitor, full LED headlights, intelligent high beams, front and back sonar, and back-eye camera), is also available. This time, the "Allure", "Allure LED Package" and "GT Line" models are equipped with a new gasoline engine and electronically controlled 8-speed automatic transmission that are compatible with Euro 6.2. The engine is an improved version of the 1.6L PureTech gasoline engine that complies with the new European emission regulations Euro 6.2. It delivers a maximum output of 133Kw (180 horsepower) at 5,500 rpm and a maximum torque of 250Nm at 1,650 rpm. The electronically controlled 8-speed automatic EAT8 was jointly developed with Aisin AW of Japan, and three drive modes can be selected. In particular, in Eco mode, the newly installed freewheel function disengages the clutch when the accelerator is released, if the driving conditions are suitable, improving fuel efficiency. In addition, the First Class Package, which has a high installation rate of about 70% for the "GT Blue HDi", is available. Seven body colors including "Pearl White" are available. All vehicles are only available with right-hand drive.
