All prices exclude on-road costs
All 2021 Peugeot 2008 models use a turbocharged 1.2-litre three-cylinder petrol engine.
In the Allure and GT, the petrol engine makes 96kW at 5500rpm and 230Nm at 1750rpm. Meanwhile, the GT Sport develops 114kW and 240Nm.
Both models are front-wheel drive, though the Allure and GT use a six-speed automatic while the GT Sport gets and eight-speed auto – both sourced from Aisin.
The 2021 Peugeot 2008 uses 6.5L/100km on the combined cycle in the Allure and GT and 6.1L/100km in the GT Sport.
Both versions of the 1.2-litre turbo petrol are Euro 6 compliant.
All models have a 44L fuel tank.
The 2021 Peugeot 2008 measures 4300mm long, 1770mm wide, and 1550mm tall.
Behind the second row of seats, there’s between 434L and 545L of capacity with the second row in place depending on configuration, expanding to 1015L-1467L with the rear bench folded.
Those figures put the 2008 at the upper end of the small SUV class for practicality.
The Peugeot 2008 is covered by the company’s five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty with roadside assistance and Service Price Promise program for the same five-year period.
The first five years of servicing will set you back $2235 in the Allure and GT, and $2466 in the GT Sport.
The Peugeot 2008 has a five-star rating from ANCAP based on Euro NCAP testing conducted in 2019. It received a score of 93 per cent, the child occupant protection score was 87 per cent, vulnerable road user protection was 73 per cent, and safety assist was 72 per cent.
All models come standard with the following safety equipment:
While all 2008 models feature autonomous emergency braking (AEB), the GT and GT Sport add low-light pedestrian and cyclist detection, plus automatic high-beam and blind-spot monitoring.
The GT Sport adds lane-positioning assist (lane centring) and adaptive cruise control with stop/go.
