2008
Launched in spring 2013, the Peugeot 2008 is a B-segment urban crossover designed to combine supermini-sized dimensions with a raised driving position and SUV-inspired styling. The first generation was approximately 4.16 metres long and offered, among other powertrains, three-cylinder petrol engines and e-HDi diesels. Completely renewed at the end of 2019, the 2008 adopted a larger body, the modular CMP platform and, for the first time, a fully electric version known as the e-2008. The range received a substantial update in 2023, bringing a redesigned front end, revised technology and a 156 hp electric motor capable of up to 406 km of range on the combined WLTP cycle. Badges, engines and equipment levels varied according to market and model year, so specifications should be checked against the vehicle’s country of sale.

Model introduction
Launched in spring 2013, the Peugeot 2008 is a B-segment urban crossover designed to combine supermini-sized dimensions with a raised driving position and SUV-inspired styling. The first generation was approximately 4.16 metres long and offered, among other powertrains, three-cylinder petrol engines and e-HDi diesels. Completely renewed at the end of 2019, the 2008 adopted a larger body, the modular CMP platform and, for the first time, a fully electric version known as the e-2008. The range received a substantial update in 2023, bringing a redesigned front end, revised technology and a 156 hp electric motor capable of up to 406 km of range on the combined WLTP cycle. Badges, engines and equipment levels varied according to market and model year, so specifications should be checked against the vehicle’s country of sale.
History
The Peugeot 2008 was unveiled in 2013 as a new urban crossover, building on the success of the 208 and Peugeot’s experience with the larger 3008. The manufacturer presented it as an international model developed with input from design and engineering teams in Europe, China and Latin America. European-market cars were initially built at Mulhouse in France. Its formula combined compact dimensions, everyday versatility and a higher driving position than a conventional supermini. Grip Control was available on selected versions to improve traction on certain surfaces, although the 2008 was not intended to be a conventional off-road vehicle. A significant update arrived in 2016. It gave the car a more pronounced SUV appearance through a more upright grille, wheel-arch extensions and revised trim levels, including GT Line. The second generation was unveiled in June 2019 and reached customers from the end of that year. It grew in length, moved to the CMP platform and introduced the fully electric e-2008 to the range. This generation was built at Vigo in Spain and received a major facelift for 2023. The update brought revised exterior styling, new equipment and improved electric performance, while Peugeot also announced the addition of a hybrid powertrain for 2024.
Generations
The first-generation 2008 is the model introduced in 2013 and sold in Europe until its replacement arrived at the end of 2019. It can be identified by its raised estate-like body, relatively compact proportions and dashboard layout related to the 208 of the same period. At around 4.16 metres long, it was designed with urban use in mind. Depending on market, it used three-cylinder petrol engines, diesel powertrains and different transmission combinations. Available equipment could include Grip Control, a touchscreen and the small steering wheel paired with a high-mounted instrument display. The second generation, revealed in 2019, brought a longer and more sharply sculpted body, pronounced side surfacing, three-claw lighting signatures and, on selected versions, Peugeot’s 3D i-Cockpit. It moved to the CMP platform and was offered with petrol engines, diesel engines in some markets and the electric e-2008 from the start. The 2023 facelift did not create a new generation. Instead, it revised the front-end design, lighting signatures, equipment and powertrain offering. Differences between individual cars may therefore reflect model year, country specification and trim level as much as the generation itself.
Key differences
The main distinction is between first-generation 2008 models and cars introduced from the end of 2019 onward. The earlier model is shorter, has softer exterior surfacing and uses a 208-related dashboard with a high-mounted instrument display. The later car looks broader and more sharply defined, with a larger grille, stronger body creases and three-claw lighting signatures. Depending on trim, its cabin may feature Peugeot’s 3D i-Cockpit and a 10-inch central touchscreen. The electric model is another key identification point: the e-2008 belongs exclusively to the second generation. Facelifted cars from 2023 are mainly identified by their revised front end, updated light signatures and detail changes to the cabin and equipment. Engines, gearboxes, trim names and standard features varied between countries. Reliable identification should therefore combine model year, body design, dashboard, lamps and vehicle identification number rather than relying only on the 2008 badge.
Photo recognition
A first-generation 2008 is generally identified by its compact, rounded body, lower-body cladding and relatively narrow front end. The headlamps sit separately from the grille, while the vertical rear lamps use Peugeot’s claw-inspired lighting theme. Inside, the instrument cluster positioned above the small steering wheel is a useful visual clue, although its design varies with trim level. The second-generation 2008 has noticeably larger proportions and a higher-looking beltline. Its grille and headlamps are more integrated into the front design, while the claw-shaped daytime running lights are prominent on many versions. Cars equipped with the 3D i-Cockpit use a digital display with a layered, three-dimensional appearance. The e-2008 can be recognised through electric badges and market-specific trim details, but these are not completely uniform worldwide. From 2023 onward, look for the revised front lighting, redesigned grille and updated bumpers. Official vehicle documents or the VIN remain the safest way to confirm the exact model year.
Important versions
Key trim names include the first-generation Access, Active, Allure and GT Line levels, although availability differed by market. On the second generation, Peugeot commonly used Active, Allure and GT designations, with engines and equipment varying between countries. The e-2008 is the electric derivative introduced with this generation; early cars used a 50 kWh battery and 100 kW motor before later efficiency and range updates. The 2023 facelift added a 115 kW electric motor advertised with up to 406 km of combined WLTP range. Trim names alone do not establish a car’s equipment or specification. Model year, country, option packs and the vehicle’s technical documentation should be checked together.
