A mid-cycle facelift in 2013 updated styling and technology, keeping the model competitive in its segment.

Second generation (2016–present): The second-generation 3008 debuted in 2016 with a more conventional SUV silhouette and a shift to the EMP2 platform. It emphasized increased interior space, advanced technology, and comfort, introducing the i-Cockpit digital instrument cluster and improved infotainment. The model line expanded to include electrified options, with a plug-in hybrid variant offered as part of Peugeot’s broader electrification strategy. The 3008 has continued to receive updates through facelifts and new powertrain choices.
