Inside, the lighting highlights the luxury of the materials and attention to detail which is apparent in every item.The new GT Line trim adds a sporty and chic theme to the red/black spirit. This trim, common to the entire range, is consistent with the brand's move up market strategy. The 1/3 – 2/3 modular rear seats mean the boot volume can vary from 410 to 1400 litres in an instant.The PEÚGEOT i-Cockpit® creates and instinctive driving experience which is intuitive, agile and safe.The compact sports steering wheel offers precise steering and improved manoeuvrability while the 7' multifunction colour touch screen puts all the functionality at your fingertips. In addition, the head up instrument panel allows driver information to be accessed without taking your eyes off the road.Grip Control optimises traction in low grip conditions and is available on both petrol and diesel versions, in manual or automatic. It is combined with 17' alloy wheels and Mud&Snow (certified winter tyres), Goodyear Vector 4Season tyres, for genuine versatility in all seasons and weather conditions.On-board connectivity includes the Mirror Screen feature which allows the driver to link an Apple Carplay® with voice activation or MirrorLinkTM compatible smartphone to the touch screen.The PEÚGEOT 2008 makes urban travel easier. Active City Brake technology can reduce the severity of accidents and even helps avoid them altogether. Park Assist technology automates the parking process. The reversing camera shows the area behind the vehicle on screen to facilitate manoeuvring.The ÚK range is composed of Euro 6 PureTech and BlueHDi engines, in manual and automatic. Offering power ratings of 82 to 130hp, its CO2 emissions are restricted from 96 to 114g/km. The BlueHDi engines comply with the Euro 6 standard through the exclusive combination of the SCR technology and the additivated DPF, the most effective technology on the market. Four types of engine are 'Best-in-Class' in their segment, including the new 1.2L PureTech 130 S&S BVM6.The extremely attractive SÚV
The new SÚV PEÚGEOT 2008 has a strong personality that exudes power on all types of road through its innovative technology.
For its compact SÚV, the brand put considerable thought into how to provide the best possible motoring experience. The culmination of this process is an instinctive driving experience in the PEÚGEOT i-Cockpit®. It symbolises key aspects of PEÚGEOT 2008's driving characteristics: intuitiveness, agility and safety. The compact sports steering wheel offers precise steering and improved manoeuvrability while the 7' multifunction colour touch screen puts all the functionality at your fingertips. In addition, the head up instrument panel allows driver information to be accessed without taking your eyes off the road.With its thumb wheel located on the central console, Grip Control broadens the scope of the 2008 due to an adapted traction system in low grip conditions. This patented system works hand-in-hand with the generous 16cm ground clearance and combined with All Season Goodyear Vector tyres, it has genuine versatility in all weather conditions.Versatile and adaptable, Grip Control optimises traction according to the terrain by acting on the front wheels. The system leaves the driver in charge at all times by selecting the desired mode via the thumb wheel:
◾Standard mode is intended for standard road conditions with a low slippage rate.
◾Snow mode instantly adapts the slippage of each front wheel to the grip conditions encountered. When the vehicle reaches 31mph, the system switches to Standard mode.
◾Mud mode is for travelling confidently on slippery ground (mud, wet grass, etc.). It facilitates the starting of the vehicle in these specific conditions by transferring as much torque as possible to the wheel with the most grip. Acting as a limited slip differential (LSD), it is particularly suitable for country roads and active up to 50mph.
◾Sand mode maintains wheel spin on both driven wheels simultaneously to allow progress on soft soil and limit the risk of getting stuck in the sand. This mode is functional up to 70mph, after which it switches to Standard mode.
◾ESP Off mode gives the driver the opportunity to disconnect ESP, up to 31mph, and manage traction autonomously (as can be necessary on gentle assents in icy/low grip conditions when traction is best when unimpaired).The Grip Control feature is available on engines from 100hp, whether they are manual or automatic, with 17'' alloy wheels. It benefits from the 2008's unparalleled dynamic performance on all terrains.This performance is made possible by the weight, from just 1,045kg, and four suspension options. The springs, shock absorbers, anti-roll bar, front axle and rear cross member are therefore specific to improve the dynamic performance of all engine specifications. Body support is excellent in all circumstances. The steering maps are adapted to each suspension option to provide optimised and consistent information on the road via the compact steering wheel.High-tech SÚV
The on-board technologies of the PEÚGEOT 2008 make everyday life easier. They include the Mirror Screen feature via MirrorLinkTM2 or Apple Carplay®3, which displays certain apps from the driver's compatible smart phone on the touch screen of the car. The driver can therefore access their applications intuitively and safely. For obvious safety reasons, this access is dependent on the vehicle when driving. When it is in motion, only the applications relevant to the driving task are available. Apple CarPlay™ complements the PEÚGEOT i-Cockpit® as it features Siri voice control which allows phone calls, text messages, music and maps to be used without the need to take eyes off the road.To enhance safety in urban areas, the PEÚGEOT 2008 is equipped with Active City Brake - a new technology which makes it possible to avoid an accident or reduce its seriousness if the driver fails to react. It works in urban conditions at speeds of less than 20mph. A short range sensor is fitted to the top of the windscreen and can detect other vehicles that are driving in the same direction or stationary. This will automatically trigger an emergency brake to stop the vehicle and avoid a collision entirely or limit the consequences of an accident by reducing the speed of impact.By automating parking manoeuvres, Park Assist makes the most of the 2008's compactness to facilitate trips into town. Once the feature has been activated, the driver selects the type of manoeuvre required on the touch screen (parallel parking or exiting the parking space), after which the ultrasonic sensors measure the dimensions of the available spaces to notify the driver of a suitable location. Park Assist then guides the vehicle via a steering management system, and all the driver has to do is view their surroundings and control the car's progress. The reversing camera displays the area behind the vehicle on the screen using colour guide lines. Pulling out of a parking space is very easy by using the intelligence of Park Assist again, even on a sloping street due to the Hill Assist feature (which temporarily applies the brake).With the aerodynamic body and lightness of the PEÚGEOT 2008 SÚV, the broad range of Euro 6 engines makes it suitable for every purpose while optimising fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. These emissions range from 96 to 114g/km and include four Best-in-Class engines.Entirely designed by the PSA Group, the new generation of PureTech 3-cylinder petrol engines are recognised for their properties. Ensuring high-level driving pleasure while optimising fuel consumption and emissions, these PureTech engines are remarkably light and efficient. Compared with a similar four-cylinder engine, the naturally-aspirated one is 21kg lighter with the turbo-charged version 12kg.This turbo-charged version is equipped with high-pressure direct injection (at 200 bars), and a new-generation high-performance turbo (running at 240,000rpm). It delivers high torque for its engine capacity, with 205Nm for the 110hp version and 230Nm for the 130hp version at 1,750rpm. In addition, the PureTech engine delivers exceptional performance, with constant power up to 6,500rpm, with remarkable acoustic comfort.This versatile 3-cylinder engine can be combined with three transmission choices: 5-speed manual gearbox, 6-speed manual gearbox or 6-speed automatic gearbox. This is the newautomatic gearbox called EAT6 for Efficient Automatic Transmission 6-speed. Its Quickshift technology guarantees top-of-the-range driving pleasure due to its design to increase fluid transfer for rapid gear changes. Moreover, its CO2 emissions are considerably reduced as a result of the reduction in internal friction and internal slippage due to the lock-up torque converters (securing a direct-drive when cruising).The petrol range of the new 2008 includes a choice of five engines:
◾1.2L PureTech 82, 5-speed manual gearbox, 57.6 MPG, with CO2 at 114g/km,
◾1.2L PureTech 82, 5-speed electronically-controlled gearbox, 64.2 MPG, with CO2 at 102g/km,
◾1.2L PureTech 110 S&S, 5-speed manual gearbox, 60.1 MPG, with CO2 at 103g/km,
◾1.2L PureTech 110 S&S, 6-speed automatic (EAT6), 58.9 MPG, CO2 at 110g/km - Best-in-Class,
◾1.2L PureTech 130 S&S, 6-speed manual, 58.9 MPG, with CO2 at 110g/km – Best-in-Class.The BlueHDi 1.6L Diesel engine is a combination of the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology and additivated Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). This engine is characterised by its pleasure to drive and record low fuel consumption, regardless of the version – 75hp, 100hp and 120hp.The SCR technology is the most effective on the market in terms of post-treatment of nitrogen oxides (NOx), as it is the only one to reduce NOx by up to 90%. Installed upstream of the additivated DPF, it is activated at an early stage. This is made possible by the additivated DPF's ability to regenerate at a lower temperature than the other DPF technologies as used by our competitors. The additivated DPF removes 99.9% of all particles, including the finest.This excellent NOx reduction effectiveness optimises both CO2 emissions and fuel consumption, which is up to 4% lower than the Euro 5 engines.The Diesel range includes three engines, all of them with CO2 emissions at less than 100g/km:
◾1.6L BlueHDi 75, 5-speed manual gearbox, 76.3 MPG, with CO2 at 97g/km - Best-in-Class,
◾1.6L BlueHDi 100, 5-speed manual gearbox, 76.3 MPG, with CO2 at 97g/km,
◾1.6L BlueHDi 120 S&S, 6-speed manual, 76.3 MPG, with CO2 at 96gCO2/km – Best-in-Class.The PEÚGEOT 2008 stands out in the compact SÚV segment. Its appeal lies in its exclusive combination of robustness and sophistication. It provides a unique driving sensation due to the PEÚGEOT i-Cockpit®, its technological equipment and unparalleled road handling. Driving the 2008 is an addictive pleasure. #PEÚGEOT2008Source - Peugeot
