Updated Peugeot 2008 Unveiled

The refreshed Peugeot 2008 is already in showrooms across the UK for ordering, but what makes this different to is predecessor?



It has grown from an almost awkward oversized hatchback to a miniature crossover. The higher trim models get features like flared wheelarches, scuff plates and a more upright grille which all give it a very sophisticated appearance.

As well as Access, Active and Allure, Peugeot will offer you a sportier GT Line which is already an option on the 108, 208, 308 and 508. No matter which level of trim you opt for, you will be greeted with Peugeot's i-Cockpit® from the moment you step inside. The design of this cockpit allows you to see over the small, sporty steering wheel as opposed to through, where the slightly raised instruments will give you all the information you need at a quick glance.



The 7-inch touchscreen features smartphone connectivity as well as a reversing camera. When it comes to safety, Active City Brake will help you avoid low speed collisions, while Park Assist will help you finish off your journey with ease.

As regards engines, the 1.2-litre 3-cylinder petrol engine can be had in multiple guises, with power ranging from 81 to 128 bhp. The 1.6-litre 4-cylinder diesel comes with a range of outputs, ranging from 75 to 118 bhp. The diesels are definitely the most sensible - with promised figures of over 70 mpg, they're also free to tax and do not belong to the 3-cylinder category which has a noteworthy soundtrack.
