MOTORING
segment, including the 1.2L PureTech
130 S&S BVM6.
All in all, the new SUV Peugeot 2008
has a strong personality that exudes
power on all types of road through its
innovative technology.
The new robust vertical front grille
features the iconic lion at the centre
of its multi-faceted grille, adding a
dynamic and attractive appearance.
This style approach continues from
the grille over the bonnet and onto
the roof with roof bars and spoiler
completing the striking profile.
The tailgate aperture opens to reveal
a low loading sill (just 60cm high) and
the rear bumper forms part of the solid
black protective trim that encircles the
new 2008. To preserve the bodywork, this
trim unites the front and rear bumpers,
equipped with scuff plates and wheel
arch extensions.
The appeal of the 2008 is further
enhanced by its elegant lighting style. At
the front, integrated into the bodywork,
the headlamps have a distinct ‘feline’
look, with an intensely high-tech chrome
and black mask. The LED rear lamps
feature new, warm-coloured lion claws
with a profound 3D effect.
These attractive rear lights surround the
tailgate, which itself reveals a spacious
and functional boot.
Unique in the SUV segment, the
passenger compartment is an example
of the high-quality trim and refined
adjustments that customers find so
appealing. This is complemented by
the high-tech and chic interior lighting
and enhances the luxury materials
selected. From Active level, the passenger
compartment is equipped with a leathertrimmed steering wheel, to match the
gear stick surround, handbrake lever and
door armrests.
Sitting comfortably in their seat,
the driver will instantly appreciate
the appeal of the Peugeot i-Cockpit®.
According to the trim level or option
selected, the roof can be a panoramic
glass sunroof with ambient light
guides and electric blind, or a lasercut and backlit headlining – also rare
in this sector.
The dynamic spirit continues inside,
as soon as you open the doors,
with stainless steel sills bearing the
Peugeot logo, the aluminium pedals
and the red-stitch edged floor mats.
The head-up display is lit by an array of
red LEDs, reminiscent of the RedLine
look of the touch screen. Red stitching
runs through the seats and rear bench
seat, door armrests, gear level surround,
handbrake lever and compact steering
wheel.
Appealing to all of the senses, driving
the 2008 is sure to become something of
an addictive pleasure.
