• At the front, a new PEUGEOT lighting signature

After the new 508 sedan and 508 SW, the 2008 is the second model to adopt the new PEUGEOT identity lighting signature. This is characterized by three vertical light claws which, on the new 2008, are integrated into the glossy black inserts of the shield. The whole underlines the strong personality of the 2008 and its robust SUV design. All versions benefit from this new light signature. On the GT versions, the striking effect of the three claws is for the first time extended in the lighting function of the “full LED” headlights by the use of three optical modules. This makes it possible to characterize the GT versions of the rest of the range by giving them an exclusive signature on the front.

• At the rear, a reinterpreted light signature

The new LED rear lights which benefit all versions of the new 2008 reinterpret the emblematic three claws which mark the rear of a PEUGEOT. Here they are made up of three superimposed double horizontal slats, thin and elegant, which help to visually widen the stance of the car. The reversing lights and turn signals are also LED.

• A reinvented front

The new 2008 receives new fronts, which welcome the new PEUGEOT emblem, wider, they integrate a specific side pattern connecting to the headlights and thus reinforce the verticality and powerful posture of the vehicle.

On the ACTIVE version, the front panel is adorned with a horizontal pattern treated in a glossy black color.

On the ALLURE and GT versions, the front face adopts a vertical pattern in the same color as the bodywork which stretches to subtle dark inserts intended to reinforce the verticality of the front face. The body color of the pattern also allows the grille to be better integrated into the bumper for the benefit of a better perception of robustness.

• New colors

Modern, Selenium Gray, chosen as the launch color, is also the shade offered in the available palette. The new Okenite White, rich in bluish-gray highlights, will underline the sophistication of the new 2008. The GT version benefits from a black two-tone roof as standard. On all new 2008s, the mirrors are black, regardless of the body color chosen.

The new 2008 is available in six body colors (Selenium Gray, Artense Gray, Okenite White, Perla Nera Black, Elixir Red and Vertigo Blue).

• An innovative rim design

The new PEUGEOT 2008 receives alloy wheels with a disruptive design, in line with those inaugurated on the PEUGEOT 408. Several models are offered, 16-inch “NOMA” (ACTIVE versions), 17-inch “KARAKOY” (ALLURE and GT) ) or 18-inch “EVISSA” (optional on GT). All alloy rims feature a 4-spoke wheel center, bearing the PEUGEOT emblem which elegantly hides the nuts.

• Modernized PEUGEOT badges

The front, side and rear badges of the new 2008s benefit from a new typography and a new Basalt Gray color. The E-2008 receives an “E” badge in Dichroic Blue and White. At the rear, the PEUGEOT monogram is installed across the entire width of the trunk lid strip.

• New refined fabrics

All versions of the new 2008 benefit from renewed seat fabrics, illustrating a real move upmarket like the new Alcantara upholstery available as an option on the GT versions.

EMOTION: the incomparable PEUGEOT i-Cockpit® more than ever at the heart of driving pleasure.

A key element of the passenger compartment, the PEUGEOT i-Cockpit® is one of the strong markers of the brand’s models. With more than 10 million sales over the past decade, it is enriched and modernized with the new 2008, to optimize its ergonomics and driving pleasure.

Ideally located at eye level, just above the steering wheel, the instrument cluster of the new 2008 is digital on the ALLURE and GT versions. Its 10-inch digital panel receives a new design and, on GT versions, a 3D display. The color of the display, the hierarchy and the layout of the information are fully configurable according to the driver’s preferences. In the ACTIVE version, the 2008 retains its analog instrument cluster.

• A 10-inch central touch screen for all new 2008s

All 2008s now receive a 10-inch central touch screen as standard (compared to 7 inches previously on the first two finishes). It allows you to control the radio and telephone functions (ACTIVE version) or the latest generation of 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 are retained to allow quick access to key functions.

• The compact steering wheel at the heart of the action

Characteristic of the PEUGEOT i-Cockpit®, the compact steering wheel increases the pleasure of driving by offering unique agility and precision of movement. The steering wheel incorporates the new badge in its center and, where applicable, the new GT badge on the lower part of its rim. It brings together the multimedia system controls (audio sources, telephone) as well as volume and voice control.

Maximum power increases by 15%, from 100 kW/136 hp to 115 kW/156 hp, while the battery goes from 50 kWh to 54 kWh. Significant work carried out on efficiency makes it possible to reconcile the increase in performance with an increase in autonomy, which reaches up to 406 km compared to 345 km previously (WLTP mixed cycle).

Two types of on-board chargers are available on the new PEUGEOT E-2008, meeting all uses and all charging solutions: as standard, a 7.4 kW single-phase charger and, as an option, an 11 kW three-phase charger.
