The Peugeot 2008 has been around for three years and that's reason enough for Peugeot to give it a little facelift.
The facelift has been crafted with utmost precision. You can see that the grille has been altered, the lion has also descended from the hood to the grille.
New head and rear lights as well. Also, this black outline over the wheelarches and under the doors. That should give the car a more 'rough' appearance, so Peugeot calls it a SUV now instead of a crossover. Yep.
On the inside, there isn't really much difference as Peugeot left it for what it was. When it comes to space, there isn't really much to complain about, because it's pretty spacious.
That means there still is a little steering wheel with the gauges above. We didn't like that at first, and we still don't really like it to be perfectly honest.
What is new, however, is the GT-line. A new trim which sounds kind of sporty. It's got red stitching, aluminium-gear knob, aluminium pedals, stainless steel plates under the car for that SUV-feeling,
and it's got 17" alloy wheels. Technically speaking, the GT-line doesn't really differ from the normal models, if they're equipped with the 110 and 130 horsepower petrol-engines, because those are available in the GT-line.
At the moment we're driving the 130 hp version, and it's a pretty decent engine, it's working well. The gears are a tad long, that's nice when you're driving along at a higher speed.
You really notice the drivetrain is aimed for comfort. It's all going along smoothly. The same goes for the suspension. It absolutely isn't a sporty car, "GT" is just for show.
There is something they have changed though. The multimedia system has been equipped with Apple CarPlay or Mirrorlink for Android. There also is a rear view parking camera, and when it's bound to go wrong in the city, it'll brake automatically.
And for the 'real' SUV-feeling, the car comes with a stability-system, which you can alter yourself to the surface you're driving on.
Oh, I almost forgot. From now on the car is, front to back, available in this beautiful red color.
