Introducing The New Peugeot 2008 SUV
Introducing The New Peugeot 2008 SUV
When Peugeot launched its 2008 compact crossover in 2013, it recognised the growing demand for smaller, more versatile vehicles linking agile dynamics and a broader range of capabilities to a smart, comfortable and flexible interior.
Four years later, the new 2008SUV has emerged as major success story, with global sales for the period exceeding the 760000 mark. Not content to rest on its laurels, Peugeot has now unveiled a mid-life update that places a stronger emphasis on the 2008 SUV's all-terrain DNA.
The refreshed 2008 SUV is a real head turner, with a series of aesthetic embellishments that will make motorists sit up and take notice.
The basic profile, with its stepped roofline, pronounced haunches and raked windscreen remains instantly recognisable, but there have been significant changes to the front styling and exterior detailing.
At the same time, the interior has been upgraded to match the exceptional design and execution standards set by the award-winning 308 hatchback. The much-publicised i-Cockpit now includes a generous 7'' colour touch-screen display, with latest-generation connectivity and ergonomics.
Equipment levels have been further enhanced, ensuring that the 2008 SUV offers an even more extensive range of standard convenience and safety features than before. At the same time, Peugeot has introduced the sporty GT Line trim level to augment the Active and Allure packages. The 2008 SUV GT Line becomes the new flagship of the range.
The 2017 Peugeot 2008 SUV range consists of four models, spanning two engine choices, two transmission choices and three trim levels.
Francis Harnie, Managing Director of Peugeot South Africa says, "The new 2008 SUV 's global success is already well established, and the upgrades, which include a more purposeful styling package, enhanced interiors and a choice of fuel-efficient, responsive drivetrains, should further extend our small SUV's popularity." Harnie points out that the arrival of the revitalised 2008 SUV also serves as unambiguous proof of the PSA Group's commitment to South Africa.
