Street Style with a French Wink

The Peugeot 2008 punches above its class with a sharp, sculpted face, raised ride height and coupe-like roofline that give it genuine kerb appeal without shouting too loudly. At 4,304 mm long it sits compact enough for urban parking yet looks planted on the road, thanks to muscular wheel arches and slim lighting signatures. The design manages to feel modern rather than trendy, which helps the 2008 age gracefully in a market where looks matter as much as practicality. This is a small SUV that trades blandness for personality — useful when resale and pride of ownership are on the shopping list.

Cabin Character and Everyday Controls

The Peugeot i‑Cockpit theme delivers a driver-focused layout with a compact steering wheel and elevated digital instrument display that prioritise visibility and a sporty feel. Material choices are mostly class-appropriate: soft-touch surfaces where hands land, harder plastics lower down, and neat detailing around the centre console; tactile switches remain a welcome alternative to menu diving. Ergonomics are generally sensible, with logical control placement and usable door pockets and cubbyholes for daily items. The infotainment screen responds well enough, though physical shortcuts are appreciated for frequently used functions.

Pack What Matters — Space and Practicality

Seating for five and a 434-litre boot make the 2008 genuinely versatile for supermarket runs, school runs and weekend luggage, while folding the rear seats expands capacity to a maximum 1,467 litres for larger loads. At 4.3 metres long the footprint is compact, so urban manoeuvres remain easy while rear legroom is decent though not generous compared with larger rivals. Payloads around the 400–460 kg range mean typical family gear and a couple of bikes (with seats down) are well within its remit. Small details such as a low load lip and practical tie‑downs add up to a sensible, usable package day to day.

How it Drives: Nimble, Comfortable and Predictable

Driving manners lean toward agility rather than athleticism: steering is precise and light, making the 2008 feel sprightly in town, while the chassis soaks up bumps with a composed, comfortable ride that favours everyday comfort over razor-sharp cornering. Performance spans the spectrum — entry petrol variants are modestly quick, mid-range petrol and hybrid options shave seconds off 0–100 km/h, and the electric e‑2008 delivers the most immediate thrust with sub‑9 second sprint times in real-world trim. Body roll is present under enthusiastic cornering but stability is good, so the car rewards confident, relaxed driving more than aggressive track-style inputs.

Fuel Economy, Battery Range and What They Mean for You

Fuel figures are competitive on paper: the small 1.2 PureTech petrols advertise around 5.7–6.2 L/100 km while the hybrid claims roughly 5.0 L/100 km, but expect real-world consumption to be a bit higher in mixed driving and winter conditions. The electric e‑2008 pairs a roughly 51 kWh battery with a WLTP range around 406 km and a consumption figure near 15.5 kWh/100 km, which translates into comfortable daily urban ranges and feasible longer trips with planned charging stops. For most buyers the choice comes down to use case: petrol for occasional trips, hybrid for varied driving without charging, and the electric model for regular urban use or those ready to use public/home charging. Charging behaviour and local energy costs will shape ownership costs far more than headline consumption numbers.

Gadgets, Safety Aids and Infotainment Reality

The 2008 is equipped with contemporary connectivity and a suite of driver aids that include adaptive cruise functions, lane keeping assistance and parking aids, offering comfort and safety in traffic and on longer runs. The touchscreen interface supports smartphone mirroring and connected services, though tactile controls for frequent functions make life easier on the move. Camera views and parking sensors simplify tight manoeuvres in the city, while adaptive systems reduce fatigue on motorways. Software and feature availability vary by trim, so checking the spec sheet is recommended to avoid surprises.

Who Should Buy a 2008 — and Which Version Suits Them?

The Peugeot 2008 suits style-conscious buyers who want a compact SUV that balances everyday practicality with personality and efficient running costs. It is ideal for small families and urban professionals who value a comfortable ride, decent boot space (434 L) and modern technology, while those who commute daily in town will find the electric e‑2008 particularly appealing. The range is offered across petrol, mild‑hybrid and full‑electric variants to match different lifestyles, so choice can be tailored to how many kilometres are driven and whether home charging is available. For shoppers seeking a compact SUV with French flair and sensible utility, the 2008 remains a strong contender.
