Peugeot is continuing its rollout of new models with the completely redesigned 2008. Peugeot's new design language is turned up a notch with the new 2008.

It's got a really distinctive, expressive face, with a large grille and big headlights. The front bumper is covered in creases and slashes, and the surfacing of the sides is made up of really interesting angular lines on the flanks. In contrast, the rear is pretty simple, with high-up taillights that appear merged with the rear glass. And, of course, the roof has a "floating" design and can be had with a two-tone finish. 

Ultra-technological, it adopts the new generation of immersive PEUGEOT i-Cockpit® 3D, with equipment and driving aids designed by the best know-how PEUGEOT has to offer. The interior looks straight out of a spaceship from a sci-fi movie. There's an incredible variety of materials, with faux carbon fiber, gloss-black plastic, soft-touch accents, microsuede, and more covering different parts of the dashboard, door panels, and center console.

The tiered dashboard is topped by a large central screen and a digital gauge cluster with a 3D effect, and the futuristic look is further set off by the two-spoke steering wheel and weird electronic shifter. There's a holographic head-up display, a wide range of passive- and active-safety features, and programmable ambient mood lighting, among many other tech features.

Based on the new and efficient modular Platform, the new SUV is a multi-energy vehicle. it offers the freedom to choose between 3 types of efficient engines: electric, petrol and diesel.
