NEW Peugeot 2008 review – the small SUV you should buy? | What Car?

Exterior Updates and Design00:01:07

The 2023 facelift introduces a new grille design, the Peugeot 'shield' emblem, 'three-claw' LED light signatures, and updated rear light bars to modernize its concept-car aesthetic.

Interior, Infotainment, and Ergonomics00:02:51

All models now feature a 10-inch touchscreen. While the interior materials are high-quality, the 'i-Cockpit' design with a small steering wheel can create visibility issues for shorter drivers.

Space and Practicality00:07:14

The rear seating offers decent space, though it is tighter than the Skoda Kamiq. The boot provides 434 liters of space with a clever height-adjustable floor.

Engine Performance and Driving Experience00:09:05

The 1.2-liter petrol engines are punchy and capable. However, the 8-speed automatic gearbox is criticized for being jerky, especially around town, and the suspension leans toward softness compared to the sharper Ford Puma.

Trim Levels and Verdict00:12:39

Peugeot simplified the lineup into Active, Allure, and GT trims. While it faces stiff competition from the Puma, T-Roc, and Kamiq, the 2008 remains a competent, stylish choice if customers avoid the problematic automatic transmission.
