The new Peugeot 2008.

After the new 508 saloon and 508 SW, the 2008 is the second model to adopt the new Peugeot signature light. This is characterised by three vertical light claws which are integrated into the gloss black inserts on the bumper on the new 2008. The combination underlines the strong personality of the 2008 and its robust SUV design. All versions have this new light signature. In the GT versions, the striking effect of the three claws is extended for the first time in the lighting of the full LED headlamps through the use of three light modules. This distinguishes the GT versions from the rest of the range by giving them an exclusive front-end signature. The new LED rear lights on all versions of the new 2008 redesign the emblematic three claws that characterise the rear of a Peugeot. Here, they are made up of three superimposed horizontal double slats, fine and elegant, which contribute to visually widening the car's stance. The reversing lights and indicators are also LED. The new 2008 has a new front end, which features the new Peugeot emblem. It is wider and includes a specific lateral pattern that connects to the headlamps and reinforces the verticality and powerful stance of the vehicle.

The new Peugeot 2008 has new alloy wheels with a disruptive design, in line with those introduced on the Peugeot 408. Several models are available, in 16-inch "NOMA" (ACTIVE versions), 17-inch "KARAKOY" (ALLURE and GT) or 18-inch "EVISSA" (optional on GT). All alloy wheels feature a 4-spoke wheel centre, stamped with the Peugeot crest, which elegantly conceals the wheel nuts. The front, side and rear badges of the new 2008s have been given a new typeface and a new Basalt Grey colour. The E-2008 has an "E" badge in Dichroic Blue and White. At the rear, the Peugeot monogram runs across the entire width of the boot lid strip.

All 2008 models now come with a 10-inch central touchscreen as standard (previously 7 inches on the first two trim levels). It can be used to control radio and telephone functions (ACTIVE version) or the latest generation of the Peugeot i-Connect® and #peugeot i-Connect® Advanced infotainment systems. On the ALLURE and GT versions, the central screen is HD technology. Under the central screen, the piano keys have been kept for quick access to key functions.

The E-2008 is the pioneer of 100% electric SUVs in the B-segment, with the new engine already adopted by the E-208 and E-308. Maximum power is up 15% from 100 kW/136 hp to 115 kW/156 hp, while the battery is increased from 50 kWh to 54 kWh. A major effort on efficiency allows the increase in performance to be complemented by an increase in range, which reaches up to 406 km compared to 345 km previously (WLTP mixed cycle).

In addition to the electrified engines described above, the range of the new 2008 offers a choice of petrol and diesel engines that enables each customer to find the model that suits their needs:

PureTech 100: the 3-cylinder petrol engine with 1.2 litres of displacement and 100 bhp, equipped with a Stop & Start system, is combined with a 6-speed manual gearbox.
PureTech 130: the 130 bhp, 3-cylinder, 1.2-litre petrol engine with a Stop & Start system can be combined with the EAT8 8-speed automatic gearbox or a 6-speed manual gearbox.
BlueHDi 130 EAT8: the 130 bhp, 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder diesel engine with Stop & Start system is combined with the EAT8 8-speed automatic gearbox.
