Taking centre stage on this year’s Geneva Motor Show stand will be the all-new Peugeot 2008, an urban crossover like no other. Featuring a contemporary design language, this practical, versatile and exceptionally capable vehicle addresses the increasing demands of customers around the world. Further enhancing Peugeot’s strategy of developing its crossover range and attracting new customers, this is a truly global car. It’s the first vehicle produced by the Marque which has been designed, developed and engineered simultaneously by employees based in Europe, China and Latin America.
The 2008 brings together the expertise and experience of two acclaimed Peugeot vehicles; as a compact crossover, it blends the success and design of the award-winning 3008 with all the features, performance and state-of-the-art engines of the new 208 supermini. The result is an innovative new vehicle for the B-segment.
With a characterful on-the-road presence, the 2008 is intended for young city-dwellers who love the urban environment but also enjoy escaping from it at every opportunity. In keeping with the dynamism of its profiled silhouette, power comes from the latest generation of low fuel consumption Peugeot engines. With e-HDi diesel and three-cylinder petrol technology, Peugeot’s urban crossover stands out from the competition thanks to CO2 emissions starting at just 98g/km.
The 2008 is the latest expression of Peugeot’s brand strengths, already clearly visible in the 208; athletic design, an engaging driving experience, high levels of comfort and outstanding quality in materials and finish.
Order books for the Peugeot 2008 open at UK retailers in June and the new car will officially go on sale later in the Summer. Demand is expected to be as strong as it has been for the acclaimed 208, which secured 20,000 orders in the UK during its first six months on sale.
