The Peugeot 3008 - a “crossover” utility vehicle - was today named car of the year.

The Peugeot 3008 blends the looks and high driving position of a 4x4 with elements of a family hatchback and a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV).

What Car? - who hosted the awards event - editor Steve Fowler said: “Crossover cars will be big news in the next few years with people who want the look and feel of a 4x4, but without the financial and environmental costs.

“The 3008 fills that brief perfectly - it’s got the looks people want, the space they need, it’s great to drive, and it’s well priced and cheap to run.”

The 3008 also took the newly introduced crossover award, while the Peugeot 5008 was voted best MPV.

Other vehicles taking awards included the Land Rover Discovery, which was voted best 4x4, and the Jaguar XF, which was best executive car.
