Peugeot 2008 News

Australia is the lucky country. Aside from the natural wonders, we’re blessed with a wide variety of automotive choices - from pint-size Kia Rios to hulking Toyota LandCruisers. But that doesn’t mean we can’t wish for more.

Peugeot Australia has added a third grade to the second-generation 2008 small SUV’s range, with the mid-range GT joining the entry-level Allure and flagship GT Sport

Peugeot Australia has confirmed it will launch multiple all-electric models next year

What would be the world’s fourth largest car company – by volume – took a step closer to becoming a reality this week. The long-running saga of the merger between Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) and PSA Group looks set to be finalised by early 2021, after the two sides signed cross-border merger terms.

The all-new 2021 Peugeot 2008 has arrived in Australia, and it has set itself up as something of a premium European player in the market, asking considerably more than competitor small SUVs in the class.

Peugeot has confirmed it will introduce its all-new 2008 small SUV to Australian showrooms before the end of 2020, with a plug-in electric version on the brand's wishlist.Overseas, the 2008 is available with petrol, diesel and plug-in electric powertrains

Peugeot Australia’s managing director, Ben Farlow, signaled an intent for the brand to focus on high-spec models and customer experience rather than volume.

Peugeot showcased several upcoming products for the Australian market as part of the launch program of the new 2020 508 liftback and sedan, including electrified versions of its 208 and 2008 hatch and small SUV.

Peugeot has revealed its new-generation 2008 small SUV that will be made available with an all-electric plug-in variant, as well as petrol and diesel power, when it hits European showrooms in 2020.
