Launched in 2013, the Peugeot 2008 has been met with great enthusiasm. Praised for its affordable sticker, large trunk, classy interior, and competitive running costs, Peugeot’s first mini SUV sold more than 500,000 units globally as of February 2016. However, the 2008 received its fair share of criticism, especially for its somewhat odd looks and not so comfortable ride. Peugeot is looking to fix that with a mid-cycle facelift, which is slated to make its public debut at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show in March.
Like most facelifts, the 2008’s is far from extensive in terms of design. The crossover remains familiar with only mild changes inside. However, Peugeot did manage to add a bit of sportiness to its mini SUV, a feature that’s more obvious thanks to the new, range-topping GT Line model. While the interior remained pretty much the same styling-wise, the 2008 gained a couple of upgrades in the tech department.
Under the hood, it continues with small-displacement gasoline and diesel engines with enhanced output and fuel economy. Although there’s no optional all-wheel drive, which is rather awkward for a crossover, the facelift brings a cool new feature. It’s called Grip Control and has five modes for different terrain conditions.
Pricing information is not yet available, but we should find out more about it at the Geneva Motor Show. Will the new 2008 manage to draw in customers from the highly competitive Renault Captur and Nissan Juke? Read on to find out!
