No, this picture doesn’t show a simulation of an unsavoury veterinary procedure but is the best visual way we could think of to show just how large the 3008’s centre cubbyhole is.

And, before you giggle and ask, we didn’t use a really small model’s arm to make it look bigger still. Deep and L-shaped, the space goes under the cupholders above and will swallow loads of cabin clutter. The only downside is that the armrest lid is hinged on the right side (rather than at the back or the left) and so blocks easy access for the drivers of the UK’s right-hand drive cars.
