Introducing the new Peugeot 2008! It’s a family-friendly small SUV with interesting exterior looks that deliver an impressively sensible real-world economy. What’s more, pick up a range-topping GT model and you’ll have a car with a 1.2-litre engine and 153hp! But with so much choice out there, does it really offer enough to stand out in the crowded small SUV market? Join Mat in his brand-new review and find out!

Driving it feels quite special somehow -more than the sum of parts. Have put all-season tyres on it and it goes through the recent snow without noticing -its a great vehicle !

I paid the car right away and it felt weird to spend so much money at once but I think it is worth it. What Im trying to say is: Mat's reviews are spot on. This vehicle puts a smile on my face every time I drive it. Thanks !

    Just hired one for 4 days and have mixed feelings. It's lovely to drive and I was very happy with it but there's more understeer than I'm used to(Fiesta owner). Rear camera is absolutely fab, way way better than my Ford. Some ergonomic design issues though 1) It's really hard to engage the seat belt as it's squeezed between the centre console and the seat 2) cup holders are way too shallow. I was constantly catching stuff with my arm when changing gear 3) Window controls on driver's door are designed for somebody with T rex arms. I'm only average but even with your elbow banging against the seat back you can't reach all the buttons without bending your wrist 90 degrees or lifting your elbow. 4) The main collection of control buttons in the centre look a bit strange (personal view) but are also positioned horizontally. Would have expected them to be angled either downwards or slightly towards the driver. It's a lovely car but I think the ergonomic issues would wind me up after a while

    Mat, the reason the rear windows don’t go all the way down on some vehicles is because of the wheel well. If you don’t have the wheel well sticking into the door the window can drop. Or if you put a fixed piece of glass to the rear and have a smaller opening. Then you have a fixed window in the way too. Design over function at it’s finest. Enjoy your reviews!!!

    I always take issue with criticism of the "cheap and plastic feeling pieces" on the interior of a car. It depends on where they are. Those pieces are designed and put in places to be rugged and durable and inexpensive to replace. They'll get kicked and scraped a lot. Obviously there are some cost saving measures in many cases, but padded soft touch materials in certain areas will be ruined in no time if they're put in high wear areas.

    Picked up my 2008 1.2 pt130 GT Line, Pearlescent White yesterday. So far done 11 trouble free miles! Waiting for Boris to let me go out & drive it. The car itself looks fantastic both inside & out. The infotainment system looks complicated, but when you actually use it, it is fairly straightforward and intuitive. A feature rarely mentioned in the reviews is the voice control. You can use it to navigate, change radio stations, play music files and alter heating settings that I have come across so far. Perhaps not as slick or comprehensive as Mercedes MBUX but it does the job ok. This is my third 2008 and on first impressions this one is a quantum leap ahead of the previous version. I just need to be able to get out and actually drive it somewhere!!

    @@kenyon516 This is the 3rd 2008 I have had since the original in October 2013. All of them have been utterly reliable, I get them serviced every year and there have been no issues at all. There was a recall on the first car for something to do with rear seatbelts. My daughter now runs my 2nd facelift model and it has been trouble free also. Apart from new tyres and brake pads on the front just the usual wear and tear items. I can say that I have been completely satisfied with all three 2008's I have had. They are comfortable, roomy and economical. I have only done 7000 miles since buying the latest car in 2020 but it too has been totally reliable. From my own experience of these cars I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone thinking of buying. This new model is a completely different car, larger, quieter and more space inside, with a lot more tech. The voice control is far better, though can't match Mercedes, but who can! Hope this answers your query, a very reliable car.

    I will say the Peugeot interiors are well up there. But I drove the 3008 two and a half years ago. It was stunning inside, but every engine in the range was abysmal. Up my local hill, a few miles from the dealership, the automatic shuffled back and forth as it couldn’t decide which gear to use. Woefully underpowered. Let’s hope they’ve improved that aspect of the vehicle.

    I had a short list of small SUV's that I was interested in and after test driving where I could and looking at all the reviews possible I came to the conclusion that the 2008 was the best of the current line ups, this review went a long way to making that choice and watching the same reviewer testing all the cars on my list really helped get a consistent view. I took delivery of a Vertigo Blue GT Line a couple of weeks ago and all I can say is Mat got it spot on, this car is punching above it's price range and compared to the VW's the quality of finish is far Superior. I originally looked for brand new but got a deal on a pre-registered 20 plate with 10 miles on the clock for £6k under list price, I think I got a bargain for the money.

    The thing with these cool modern designs is that they don't age well, so what's cool today will look outdated in 2-3 years when they push out the new redesigns. Just compare the old and new nissan juke (imo those are ugly, esp the old one, but people love them). Classic designs last you longer.

    Matt..step outside, shut the rear door and look at it's size and shape in relation to the rear wheel well arch. There's your answer as to why so many rear windows dont go all the way down. To engineer the window to go all the way down the designers would have either increased the overall body/wheelbase length or designed the inner door cards thicker to accomodate the loweirng glass...which would encroach on rear seat shoulder room in the process. I'd say considering how few times the rear windows actually need to be down, it was the right compromise.

PSA offering electric along side is petrol on the same car is needed everywhere. The 2008 and the rest of their great cars and suvs would help Chrysler be a top selling name again, in the States..i hope they come soon.
