The Peugeot 2008 is one of the most popular small SUVs in Europe, thanks to its attractive design, spacious interior, and advanced technology. Now, the French brand has given it a mid-life facelift with a new look, new features, and new powertrains. The most notable addition is the 48V hybrid variant, which will join the lineup in 2024, offering improved fuel economy and lower emissions. Here is everything you need to know about the new Peugeot 2008 and its electrified version.

A More Premium Appearance

The new Peugeot 2008 has a more refined and elegant appearance, with a wider front end that features the new Peugeot shield logo. The grille has a lateral pattern that connects to the LED headlights, which have a distinctive three-claw signature. The bumper also has gloss black inserts that house the LED daytime running lights. The rear of the new Peugeot 2008 has a redesigned LED tail light signature, with three horizontal double slats that give it a wider stance. The badges on the front, side, and rear have a new typeface, and the model name is now spelled out in full on the tailgate.

The 2024 Peugeot 2008 is available in four trim levels: Active, Allure, GT, and First Edition. The Active trim is the entry-level option, with 16-inch alloy wheels, a 10-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a range of safety features. The Allure trim adds 17-inch alloy wheels, a leather steering wheel, rear parking sensors, and a 180-degree reversing camera. The GT trim is the sporty option, with 18-inch alloy wheels, full LED headlights, a 3D digital instrument cluster, and a black roof. The First Edition trim is the most luxurious option, with 19-inch alloy wheels, a panoramic sunroof, a head-up display, and a premium Focal sound system.

A New 48V Hybrid Powertrain

The new Peugeot 2008 offers a choice of two petrol engines and one electric motor. The petrol engines are both 1.2-liter three-cylinder units with either 99 or 128 horsepower. They are paired with either a six-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic gearbox. The electric motor is a 154-horsepower unit that powers the front axle and is fed by a 54-kWh battery that provides a range of up to 251 miles. The electric motor can be charged to 80% in 30 minutes using a 100-kW rapid charger or in seven hours and 30 minutes using a 7-kW wall box.

In 2024, the new Peugeot 2008 will also offer a new 48V hybrid powertrain, which will combine a 136-horsepower 1.2-liter petrol engine with a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox that includes an electric motor. The 48V hybrid system will allow the new Peugeot 2008 to operate on electricity up to 50% of the time in urban driving and reduce its fuel consumption by up to 15% and its CO2 emissions by up to 20%.
