Peugeot launched the original 2008 in 2013, and followed it up with the model you see here in 2019. And the 2008 really took a step up in style with this second generation model, with some of the most distinctive looks in this class, whether you’re staring at it on your driveway or sitting behind the wheel.
It’s among the more popular cars in this class, and for good reason, as it’s also practical, good to drive, and economical to run. That popularity means finding good used examples isn’t difficult, and there are plenty of trim levels to choose from. Below we’ve covered the 2008’s engines and trim lines in more detail.
The Peugeot 2008 is one of a handful of cars in the compact crossover class that really stands out for its style, from the sharp creases in its panels, to the distinctive claw-style light signatures front and rear, and some particularly bold colour options in the brochure. Step inside and it’s similarly bold, and has a higher-quality feel than many of its peers.
There’s a good car underneath too, so you don’t need to opt for the 2008 on style alone. While the dashboard may look unusual, with its small steering wheel and high-set dials, the layout works better here than it does in some of Peugeot’s other cars - you should be able to both get comfortable, and still see the instruments clearly. There’s plenty of space in the rear seats too, and a reasonably-sized boot.
Physical controls for some regularly-used functions mean you don’t need to dive into the touchscreen for absolutely everything, but it’s relatively easy to use when you do. The 2008 is easy to drive too - the small steering wheel gives the car a responsive feel, the engines are punchy and don’t use a lot of fuel, and Peugeot has judged the ride and handling well. It can start to feel a little firm on the larger alloy wheel options, but never strays into being uncomfortable.
The 2008 does have some tough competition for your attention though. Even from some of its sister brands: the Citroen C3 Aircross, DS3 Sportback, and Vauxhall Mokka are all similarly stylish and nearly identical mechanically, though each offers a different feel to the Peugeot - the Citroen being softer and comfier, the DS3 more luxurious, and the Vauxhall with a sporty side. The Nissan Juke, Ford Puma, Renault Captur, Volkwagen T-Roc and more are all worth a look too - and if you need an EV, Peugeot also sells the e-2008.
Most families will be more than happy enough with the 100PS PureTech engine and Active Premium trim, but to really make the most of the 2008’s style and its striking interior design, we’d suggest stretching for GT trim, and the 130PS PureTech. The larger alloy wheels really give the exterior a boost, and inside you get a set of nicely-trimmed sports seats and a 3D floating style instrument cluster, which looks the business. The manual gearbox is slick enough, but the automatic makes better use of the petrol engine too.

Whichever model of Peugeot 2008 you go for, you’ll pay a standard £190 a year tax rate as of 2024/2025. Well, there is one exception to this, actually - the all-electric e-2008, which is currently free to tax.
Insuring a Peugeot 2008 shouldn’t cost a great deal more than insuring the 208 supermini that it’s based on. The range slots into groups 14-19, though it’s not always the case that a cheaper, lower-spec version will cost less to insure - the Allure Premium+ is actually in a lower group than an Active Premium+, as it comes with more safety and security features.
