The Peugeot 2008 Concept is currently on display at the 2012 Paris Motor Show and is the result of a collaboration of engineers and stylists from Europe, China and Latin America. The Peugeot 2008 Concept is a small vehicle that combines agility, compactness, versatility and style and was designed “for young-minded city dwellers who love the city, while also loving to escape from it”.

Peugeot 2008 Concept – Styling Features

The Peugeot 2008 Concept exterior colour is in fluorescent yellow with a Velvet matt finish. Dark Chrome details on the body emphasise the 2008’s modern and elegant appearance.

The front-end features a ‘floating grille’ with a design cut into the metal and is combined with a dual aspect treatment that highlights the Peugeot emblem. The headlights are unique and aligned with the front-end and are designed to portray the pupil of a cat. The Peugeot 2008 Concept features sophisticated sculpted wings and sides. The large wheel arches and notable ground clearance represent agility, versatility and lightweight design.

The Peugeot 2008 Concept features a 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder turbo engine with direct injection. This engine forms part of Peugeot’s downsizing strategy and enhances fuel consumption and reduces CO2 emissions. This engine produces a power output of 82kW.
