Peugeot 2008

Compact crossover/SUV · 2013 to present

The Peugeot 2008 is a compact crossover that has sold steadily in the UK since 2013, competing with cars like the Vauxhall Mokka, Renault Captur and Nissan Juke. The first generation, built on a supermini platform, offered petrol and diesel engines with Peugeot's distinctive small steering wheel and raised dashboard dials. A second generation arrived in 2019/2020 with sharper styling, a fully digital cockpit, and a wider range including petrol, diesel and the all-electric e-2008. Diesel availability has since narrowed as Peugeot has focused on petrol and electric power. Trim levels span from practical entry models to higher-specification versions with larger infotainment screens and driver assistance features. Used examples are common across the UK, with both manual and automatic gearboxes available. Its blend of SUV-style practicality, compact dimensions and relatively low running costs has made it a popular choice for private buyers and small families looking for an alternative to a traditional hatchback.
