The PEUGEOT 2008

This compact SUV may be the smallest of the PEUGEOT SUV family, however, the small but mighty PEUGEOT 2008 certainly packs a punch. Boasting an exceptional driving experience and amazing efficiency, it’s no wonder that owners are falling in love with their choice.

What really makes this car impressive is its elegant design and masterful power. The interior of the car is super smart, with a leather steering wheel available as standard as well as tri-material ‘Leonki’ and ‘Remini’ cloth seat trim with orange double-stitch details. This car features PEUGEOT’s i-Cockpit 3D driving position with a 10” HD touchscreen and 3D digital instrument panel for added information, accessible within the driver’s field of vision.

The vehicle feels sporty from the moment you set eyes on it, this dynamic feeling also continues when driving the compact SUV thanks to the high-performing engine options with improved fuel consumption:

- A 1.2L PureTech 100 S&S BVM6 (Petrol)

- A 1.2L PureTech 130 S&S BVM6 (Petrol)

- A 1.2L PureTech 130 S&S EAT8 (Petrol)

- A 1.2L PureTech 155 S&S EAT8 (Petrol)

- A 1.5L BlueHDi 110 S&S BVM6 (Diesel)

In fact, ‘What Car?’ magazine had the following to say about the PEUGEOT 2008: “Not only does the PEUGEOT 2008 look the part (both inside and out), it’s well equipped and has a range of punchy, efficient petrol engines.”

As well as these fuel options, you can also choose this vehicle as an electric vehicle (EV), featuring a powerful 100 kW electric engine. This means the compact, SUV is equipped to provide you with instant acceleration thanks to the immediate torque of 260Nm. Choosing to electrify your PEUGEOT 2008 will provide a flexible, quiet, and dynamic driving experience, accompanied by zero CO₂ emissions on the road.

The PEUGEOT 3008

The PEUGEOT 3008 is the slightly bigger family member of the 2008 and is just as aesthetically pleasing - both inside and out. The driving experience with the SUV is simple and intuitive, yet exciting. A refined design combined with innovative technology represents just how modern this SUV is.

Just like the 2008, the larger 3008 includes PEUGEOT’s i-Cockpit, with a 10” HD touchscreen. However, the larger 3008 features elegant chrome piano keys and a head-up digital display panel alongside the already brilliant features.

The interior of this car differs from the 2008, offering a glamorous ‘Mistral’ black Alacantara and a ‘Mistral’ black half-leather effect trim, with Alkanite copper topstitching to complement the leather and give a premium finish.

Unlike the 2008, the 3008 is available as a plug-in hybrid, combining the convenience of petrol with the sustainability of electric. The 3008 plug-in hybrid options are as follows:

- A HYBRID4 300 e-EAT8 AWD version (4-wheel drive) - a 200 hp PureTech petrol engine, with a 110hp electric engine at the front and a second 113 hp electric engine at the rear.

- A HYBRID 225 e-EAT8 FWD (2-wheel drive) - a 181 hp petrol engine and a 110 hp electric engine at the front of the car.

The combustion engine options are as follows:

- PureTech 130 SGS 6-speed manual (Petrol)

- PureTech 130 SGS EAT8 (Petrol)

- BlueHDi 130 SGS 6-speed manual (Diesel)

- BlueHDi 130 SGS EAT8 (Diesel)

Choosing to make your 3008 a plug-in hybrid will give you an electric range of up to 39 miles* WLTP, thanks to the lithium-ion battery. You can view specific driving information, such as the electric battery charge level, the level mileage, and driving mode on the touchscreen and the head-up digital display.

This state-of-the-art vehicle is certainly one to watch within its size category. Unrivalled safety and practicality make this medium SUV a great match for families. The car also contains innovative technology features such as night-vision, which has capabilities to detect pedestrians or animals beyond the range of headlights. This fantastic car also boasts Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-Go function and Lane Keeping Assistance to help keep your driving experience as safe as possible, every time you drive.

The PEUGEOT 5008

The PEUGEOT 5008 is the go-to choice for those who require even more amplified space while keeping the style and performance of the 5008’s smaller family members. For individuals who require a seven-seater vehicle but don’t want to compromise on style.

Comfort is a prime feature of the 5008, with quality upholstery and timeless materials being apparent when you first lay your eyes on its interior. The refined seats are electrically adjustable and boast a multi-point massage function, to make your drive as relaxing as possible.

The largest PEUGEOT SUV is both daring and high performing, which breaks the stigma that larger SUVs are cumbersome and unwieldy. The practicality of this intelligent SUV is unbelievable - the large boot is incredibly easy to access due to the hands-free tailgate, allowing you to open and close the boot of the car effortlessly with a simple foot movement.

Much like the smaller PEUGEOT SUVs, the 5008 comes as standard with the ergonomic i-Cockpit technology, along with a 10” HD central touchscreen and a 12.3” head-up digital instrument panel. This allows you to focus on the main elements of driving without taking your eyes off the road. Much like the 3008, the 5008 comes equipped with night-vision technology alongside a broad range of innovative safety technologies such as semi-autonomous driving.

The 5008 is currently available with combustible petrol or diesel engines. All powertrains are equipped with PEUGEOT’s latest-generation Euro 6d-certified engines, all of which come with “Stop & Start” technology:

- 1.2L PureTech 130 S&S 6-speed manual (Petrol)
