Style With Quiet Confidence

The Peugeot 2008 leans into sharp lines, a proud grille and claw-like lighting to stand out without shouting. Proportions are tidy yet purposeful, giving this small SUV genuine street presence in town and on the school run. Trim details and wheel designs add polish, but the look remains clean rather than fussy. It projects a premium vibe next to mainstream rivals, which is a big part of its appeal. The overall impression is modern, cohesive and more sophisticated than most B‑SUVs.

A Lounge-Like Cabin, With a Twist

Inside, materials and surfacing feel a class above, with soft-touch areas and thoughtful textures. Peugeot’s i‑Cockpit layout places a small steering wheel low and the instruments high, which can deliver a sporty view for some but obscure dials for others. Tall drivers should test seating position carefully, as the wheel and cluster alignment won’t suit every body shape. Many climate functions live in the touchscreen, which looks slick yet makes quick adjustments less intuitive on the move. Day to day, the elevated seating and light controls keep the car easygoing and welcoming.

Real-Life Space Over Showroom Tricks

For a compact SUV, usability is a highlight: the ICE and hybrid versions offer an officially quoted 434 litres of boot space and a handy two-level floor that keeps bags tidy. Independent tests measure less, but the square shape and low sill still make it very practical for strollers, a weekly shop or holiday luggage. Rear room is adequate for two adults, with a middle perch best reserved for short trips. There are ISOFIX points on the outer seats, though rear air vents are absent on many trims. The electric version’s boot is noticeably smaller, so families who pack heavy will prefer the petrol or mild hybrid.

Calm First, Keen Second

The 2008 favours comfort, rolling smoothly over rough patches and settling nicely at motorway speeds. Steering is light and easy in town, though it doesn’t deliver much feel and there’s some body roll in faster bends. Performance spans 0‑100 km/h in roughly 8.3 to 10.9 seconds depending on engine, with 205‑270 Nm of torque giving enough shove for confident merging. The e‑DSC6 dual-clutch in the hybrids can hesitate slightly when setting off, while the manual 1.2 feels simple and predictable at low speeds. Across the range, noise levels are pleasantly low for the class, which reduces fatigue on longer journeys.

Numbers That Make Sense in the Week

The line-up covers a 1.2 Turbo 100 manual, Hybrid 110 and 145 e‑DSC6, and a 156 hp e‑2008, all driving the front wheels. Official hybrid figures start from 4.9 L/100 km, and real-world commutes commonly land around 6–7 L/100 km if driven sensibly. The electric version is rated at 405 km WLTP with a stated 15.3 kWh/100 km, translating to roughly 300+ km in mixed use and less on fast motorways. That means daily errands and regional trips are straightforward in the EV, while frequent long-haul drivers will find the hybrids more convenient. Either way, the car’s relaxed nature encourages efficient progress rather than sprints between lights.

Tech That Looks Great, Learns Your Routines

The digital instruments and central display bring crisp graphics and neat customization, but the menu logic takes time to master. Shortcut keys help, yet temperature tweaks still pull focus to the screen more often than ideal. Available driver aids include adaptive cruise, lane keeping assistance and blind-spot monitoring, which work smoothly and take the edge off traffic. Parking is stress-free thanks to sensors and a clear reversing camera on higher trims. Once configured to taste, the tech fades into the background and supports a calm, modern drive.

Who Will Love It, Who Won’t

This car suits design-led buyers who want a refined-feeling small SUV that stays quiet and composed on the motorway. Small families will appreciate the big, usable ICE/hybrid boot and the friendly manners in tight streets and car parks. Cost-conscious commuters get sensible running costs from the hybrids, while the EV is best for short to medium daily loops with reliable charging. Enthusiastic drivers may prefer sharper steering and flatter cornering elsewhere. Anyone sensitive to the i‑Cockpit seating/visibility quirk should test it thoroughly before committing.

This review applies to the GT version; cheap glossy plastics in the interior, lack of physical, dedicated climate/vent controls, narrow trunk width. On the plus side, excellent suspension that soaks up all the bumps, especially on gravel roads.
