Unique style for Peugeot 2008 Urban Crossover

The Peugeot 2008 Urban Crossover combines the driving characteristics of a hatchback with the strength of an SUV. The 2008 is perfectly suited to urban driving and is equally capable on longer journeys. The Peugeot 2008 features 17” ‘Diamond’ wheels with a matt finish while the bumpers, body sills, front and rear body protection and side mouldings offer protection from abrasions.

The front-end features a ‘floating grille’ that gives the 2008 a solid exterior appearance. The headlights are sharp and precise and mimic a cat’s pupil, adding to the 2008’s allure. LED daytime running lights are also included.

Although interior details have not been revealed, the Peugeot 2008 will feature a panoramic sunroof. Engine details remain sketchy at this point but the 2008 will make use of the e-HDi Diesel engine and a new 3-cylinder petrol engine that will ensure a CO2 emissions figure of 99g/km.

Further details regarding the Peugeot 2008 launch in South Africa will be made at a later date.
