Peugeot 2008PURETECH S/S GT LINE 1.2 [130] PETROL MANUAL

The 2020 Peugeot 2008 is a compact SUV that brings style, functionality, and efficiency to the table, making it a competitive option in the growing small SUV segment. With its attractive design, well-equipped interior, and punchy engine, it’s a popular choice among urban drivers.

The 2020 Peugeot 2008 has a bold, eye-catching exterior design that feels distinctly modern and upmarket for its class. Its sleek lines, striking LED lights, and sharp angles give it a sporty stance while maintaining a family-friendly SUV vibe. The signature grille and lion emblem add a premium touch, while the raised ride height provides the necessary SUV look without being too bulky.

Inside, Peugeot has done an excellent job with the 2008’s cabin. The design feels stylish and forward-thinking, with a unique “i-Cockpit” layout that puts the digital display high up on the dashboard, allowing for easy visibility. The small steering wheel, paired with Peugeot’s digital display, creates a cockpit-like feel, which is refreshing and user-friendly once you get used to it.

The interior materials are high quality, with soft-touch surfaces and accents that make it feel premium for the price. The front seats offer plenty of comfort and support, while the rear seats are surprisingly spacious, providing ample legroom even for taller passengers. Boot space is generous at around 434 liters, which is above average in its class, making the 2008 practical for shopping trips, family outings, and light cargo needs.

The 1.2L PureTech petrol engine delivers 130 horsepower, which, while modest, is peppy enough for city driving and light motorway use. It’s paired with a 6-speed manual transmission, which shifts smoothly and offers decent engagement. The power delivery is well-tuned for urban and suburban driving, with good low-end torque that makes it feel responsive when pulling away from a stop or navigating city traffic.

One of the Peugeot 2008’s strengths is its ride quality. The suspension setup is comfortable, absorbing most bumps and imperfections on city streets and highways with ease. It’s a smooth and composed ride, particularly suited for families and daily commuting. The steering is light and precise, making it easy to maneuver in tight spaces or parking lots, though some drivers might find it lacks the sporty feedback of more performance-oriented rivals.

Noise insulation is decent, though road and engine noise can become noticeable at higher speeds. Still, for a compact SUV, it’s quiet enough to keep the cabin environment relaxed and pleasant during most driving conditions.

Fuel efficiency is another highlight of the 1.2L petrol engine, as it provides an impressive 45-50 mpg combined. This makes it a budget-friendly choice for those looking to save on fuel costs, and its low emissions are beneficial for both the environment and urban emissions regulations.
