The new Peugeot 2008 will be arriving in South Africa in early February 2021. It’s a striking compact SUV and the Peugeot has revealed its local pricing and some specifications that we have below. It will come with three derivatives at launch, the Active, Allure and GT.
The new Peugeot 2008 follows the same design.
Based on the new Common Modular Platform (CMP), the Peugeot 2008 will follow in the same design direction as the bigger Peugeot 3008 and the smaller Peugeot 208. This includes lion fangs and claws for lights. For an extra R21,750 Peugeot can fit the 2008 model with a sunroof as well. We don’t know what that will do for headroom but passenger space is something the brand said is a focus.
Inside, the 2008 has been equipped with the updated version of the i-Cockpit digital dashboard that comes with Apple CarPlay and Andriod Auto compatibility. Four USB ports are placed around the interior to keep devices charged on the go.
Engine options.
The Active model will have the option of two engines. The first being a 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine capable of 74 kW and 205 Nm. This engine option comes mated to a six-speed manual transmission exclusively.
The second option is a more powerful version of the same engine. Its peak output is 96 kW and 230 Nm and it only comes with a six-speed automatic transmission. The Allure and GT derivatives only come with this engine choice.
