The Peugeot 2008 is a small SUV that mixes striking design with a good amount of interior space and a comfortable driving experience. It’s available in a variety of trim levels and several engine choices, including an all-electric model.
The Peugeot 2008 is a compact five-door SUV that’s a rival for cars such as the Nissan Juke and Renault Captur. The previous model (sold new between 2013 and 2019) has a curvier design than the latest model, which was introduced in 2019 and features a sharp-edged, futuristic look. The latest 2008 is also available as a pure-electric model called the Peugeot e-2008.
The Peugeot 2008 trim line-up has been tweaked a number of times. Looking at the latest 2008, the trim levels run from the well-equipped Active (later renamed Active Premium) through Allure/Allure Premium, GT Line, GT and GT Premium, adding extra equipment with each step. Top models include features such as 18-inch alloy wheels, adaptive cruise control and keyless entry and start-up. The trims on the earlier 2008 were very similar, but with an entry-level Access model. Very early cars had a top-level trim called Feline but it was phased out in 2016.
The engine options consist of small but powerful petrol and diesel engines, as well the pure-electric e-2008.
The latest version of the Peugeot 2008 has features to match its high-tech exterior and interior design, including a digital instrument panel instead of traditional dials and a central touchscreen that measures seven inches across on most models, and 10 inches on higher-spec cars. The system controls the air conditioning and DAB radio, and features Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for smartphone connectivity across the range. Higher-spec models also feature wireless charging for your phone and an interior ambient-lighting system that lets you change colours according to your personal preference.
The earlier 2008 model isn’t quite so high-tech, but all except the basic models have a touchscreen infotainment system with Bluetooth, and cars built after a 2016 update have support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Every Peugeot 2008 gives you comparatively low running costs and with the latest model you can choose among fuel-efficient petrol and diesel engines, as well as an all-electric model. All the petrol options are 1.2-litre engines but with various power levels between 99bhp and 153bhp, giving up to 52.6mpg, according to official figures. The diesel model has 99bhp or 108bhp and can return up to 57mpg. The electric e-2008 is available with either a 134bhp or 153bhp motor, with a range of up to 250 miles from a full battery charge depending on the model.The previous model has similarly fuel-efficient petrol and diesel engines, although these were measured using older (less accurate) tests. So while in theory its diesel engine can give you up to 76.3mpg, you’ll probably get less in real-world driving. It does, however, mean that some models are eligible for low or no Vehicle Excise Duty (car tax) because of a change in tax rules in 2017.
If you’re considering buying a Peugeot 2008 for sale, you may also want to look at one of the many similar small SUVs you can buy. Of these, the Ford Puma is a tremendous all-rounder, but it’s newer than the 2008 so you won’t find such affordable examples. The Renault Captur and Nissan Juke are especially cost-effective options. Or – if you’re after something more premium and have a slightly larger budget – the Audi Q2 or Volkswagen T-Roc are worth checking out.
The latest Peugeot 2008 is compact on the outside but very spacious inside. You should be able to get three adults in the back, although headroom will be tight for taller occupants. It’s great for kids, although some rivals have back doors that open wider – worth noting if you’re loading in babies or toddlers. There are lots of storage areas around the cabin and the boot is especially large, giving you almost as much load space as some mid-size SUVs.
The older 2008 isn’t quite as spacious, but headroom is very good and it has enough space for four adults inside. The boot gives you less room than you’ll find in a Volkswagen Golf or Ford Focus but getting things in and out is easy thanks to a large boot opening.
The Peugeot 2008 is the smallest SUV that the French company makes, sitting below the 3008 and the 5008, which is essentially a stretched, seven-seat version of the 3008.
Peugeot also makes MPVs called the Rifter and the larger van-like Traveller, both of which are available with electric power. Smaller Peugeots include the 208, 308 and 408 hatchbacks and the larger 508, available as a big hatchback and as an estate.
In 2019, independent safety organisation Euro NCAP awarded the latest Peugeot 2008 four stars out of five, but cars equipped with Peugeot’s safety pack – which is standard on UK cars – scored the maximum five stars. Since then, testing standards have become more stringent, but you’ll still get many of the latest advanced driver-safety systems included as standard, such as automatic emergency braking, traffic-sign recognition and lane-departure warning.
The previous-generation 2008 was tested back in 2013 and scored the maximum five stars. But again, standards have moved on since then.
There aren’t any hybrid or plug-in hybrid versions of the Peugeot 2008, but there is a pure-electric model, called the Peugeot e-2008. Depending on the version you get, it promises a range of up to 250 miles on a full battery.
