Description
The 2008 Peugeot was first launched in 2013 to compete with Japanese mid-SUVs like the Mazda CX3.
But the big question is, is the Peugeot 2008 SUV or a wagon? Well, for most people, Peugeot 2008 cars are more of a mini-SUV than a wagon, but I would consider it an in-between.
With a ground clearance of 6 inches and a height of 5 feet one inch, it can neither be considered a mid-SUV nor a Wagon. It also boasts a length of 13’8 "and a width of 5’8".
With the aid of the above images Peugeot 2008 shape is in a perfect perspective of how the car looks in real life.
This Peugeot is the first generation, which ran from 2013 to 2018. From 2019 to 2023, Peugeot produced the second generation 3008, which looks more like the 2008; It is challenging to differentiate them.
A 1.2-liter turbo six-gear engine powers the 2017 model, sufficient to give this car a charming drive feel.
The engine offers 110 hp of power and 205 Nm of torque, which is also decent for this car.
The Peugeot 2008 2017 looks very appealing and is suitable for both men and women, as it is neither masculine nor feminine.
Some units come equipped with a very nice panoramic moonroof, which gives them a good touch of class and beauty.
In 2024, this was among Kenya's best-selling Japanese used cars.
Many Kenyans spend under two million to get this practical mid-SUV/Wagon, which is very spacious, looks nice, and drives well. The Peugeot 2008 cost is reasonable.
Its competitors in the Kenyan used car market are the Mazda CX3, Honda Vezel, Mazda Axela, and Nissan X-trail.
Car Features
The Peugeot 2008 2017 has a lovely interior, well-done curves, and good space for passengers and drivers. Peugeot 2008 boot space rivals some larger cars.
The dashboard is made of plastic without a leather finish, which I would prefer, but all the same, for a car of this budget, it is just okay.
The best thing about the dashboard layout is the accessibility of controls and the extra features. You can control music from the steering wheel, and the odometer has a mixture of analog and digital features.
The crucial hazard button is well positioned and handy, though it is not very easy to spot if under pressure.
The central lock button is nearby. Also, the dashboard's center console has a cigarette lighter and a USB port, which can be easily used by both the driver and the co-driver.
The seats are super comfortable. They are designed to look and feel like gaming seats, and they are made using both leather and fabric.
The front seats can be adjusted backward to allow the front passenger and the driver to relax inside the car and have a bed feel for resting after a long drive.
The leg space is perfect for front and rear passengers, and the car seats for the tots can be easily fixed.
The back seats can be folded front-wise to allow more storage. The boot is also very spacious and has a boot cover to protect your privacy.
I almost forgot to tell you that you can heat the seats in cold weather and use climate control if you wish.
This is why most Kenyans buy the Peugeot over other Japanese used mid-SUVs.
I would give it an overall rating of 8/10
