Peugeot has revealed the Quartz concept at the Paris motor show – and the sporty crossover gives us a glimpse of the next-generation 3008’s styling. The high-riding MPV is set to transform into more of a Qashqai-rivalling premium crossover SUV to chase sales.
Based on the same EMP2 platform that underpins the Peugeot 308, the Quartz is styled using Peugeot’s latest design language, which first debuted on the Exalt concept at the Beijing motor Show. That means huge intakes, sharp edges, an upright 3D grille and chiselled headlights.

A shallow window line and steeply raked rear screen – complete with a split spoiler – reveal the Quartz to have the sporty proportions of models like the range Rover Evoque or BMW X4. At 4,500mm long, it sits somewhere between the Evoque and X4 in terms of size. It’s also about 100mm longer than a Qashqai.
The interior is a development of the clean and simple i-Cockpit found in the 308. Peugeot has kept the amount of buttons and switches to a minimum, while drivers get information through a head-up display. The compact steering wheel has controls for the indicators, driving modes and gearshifts, and materials like leather, composites and basalt give the cabin a luxurious finish.
