Title: Peugeot 2008
Post by: 2o6 on June 19, 2019, 10:18:19 AM
As expected, it's a B-segment crossover version of the 208. Powertrain options are identical, including the "e-2008"; 50kw/h battery.

I think it looks great; but as usual I think it's a fail that PSA doesn't offer AWD on its crossovers.

Customers really don't care

Lift a hatchback, give it a floating roof, put a big screen in the center console... you are printing money

Interior is kinda cool. Exterior is so-so. Looks better from the rear and side than the front.

I usually like PSA stuff in a quirky sort a way, but this seems a bit bland.

I was thinking the same thing.  I like the rear view especially.  Don't like the whole 'floating roof' concept though.

Depends on the location. No AWD is a deal breaker for a lot of people in CO. Probably not so much in NC.

The old 3008 had an eAWD setup, but no. No AWD.

Eh, they care enough around here. Even if they don't buy the AWD model, the fact AWD is on offer would get them in the showroom. I know a lot of people that wanted an "AWD SUV" and walked out with a FWD Jeep or similar.

Cars like the Kicks and C-HR are losing out with not offering it.

Remove the top half of that double stacked dash and it'll look much better.

The exterior is terrible, with creases all over the damn place, and a front end that looks too big and heavy for the size of the vehicle. A common and unfortunate trait with Japanese CUVs.

In a different color it actually looks better. Blue doesn't seem to suit it.

So I am guessing Opel will get a version of this?
