French automaker Peugeot launches the all-new 2008 SUV in the GCC. As the third member of the brand’s stylish SUV line-up, the new Peugeot 2008 is an ultra-modern interpretation of the instinctive and versatile driving experience that the brand is known to deliver.
Rakesh Nair, Managing Director at Groupe PSA in the GCC, said: “The 2008 is a welcome addition to our already impressive line-up in the region. It is powerful and distinctive in style, and fulfills our ambition to turn over a new and remarkable page in the history of Peugeot SUVs.”
With its powerful and distinctive style, the new 2008 sits at the heart of Peugeot’s line-up and is offered with two engine variants for the region. It includes a 1.6 liter engine coupled to a 6-speed automatic transmission producing 115 hp and 150 Nm of torque. On higher grades, a punchy 8-speed automatic, turbo engine that delivers 155 hp and 240 Nm of torque is available for those who are in search of an enhanced driving experience.
Putting the latest technology onboard, the 2008 introduces a new interpretation of Peugeot’s innovative iCockpit system, first seen on the 208. The Peugeot i-Cockpit 3D is a world-first in the segment, including a compact steering wheel for better handling and grip, a large HD touch screen, and now, an innovative 3D heads-up display. To ensure a connected travel experience, information is integrated into the central screen thanks to Screen Mirroring compatibility including a MirrorLink™ connection, Apple CarPlay™, and Android Auto™.
For 2021, the 2008 will be available for customers in February. Customers will be able to visit Peugeot distributors, Swaidan Trading in Dubai, and Omer Bin Youssef Group in Abu Dhabi for more information.
