Saying that, it’s an affordable £500 option, and perhaps worth it if you want the security of an SOS call button for emergencies. Relief comes from pretty Emerald Blue and Ultimate Red – they’re the two standout colours in an otherwise generic range of hues. There are several different pronunciations of 2008: the favoured is ‘two double-oh eight’ as other variants sound awkward. It’s easy to see why: it looks good, has an interesting and good-quality interior, drives sweetly and offers some nice engines. Even the rings around them glow. The 2008 is a little longer than the supermini norm, and naturally that bit taller. Read more inside. This is no sports car, but it’s stable and confident enough for most, even if the steering lacks feel and feedback. This covers all servicing costs and also inflation-proofs you against price rises. It’s still manageably narrow, though, and the higher seating position might actually make it easier to drive in town, despite its extra length. The elegant dash is nicely shaped, with a prominent centre touchscreen on all models. The entry point is not far shy of £16,000, which is enough to get you into some larger family hatchbacks. team. The 2008 is able and well-equipped, but it does look rather expensive. More recent 2008s have optional active emergency braking, which auto-applies the brakes when it detects an impending low-speed impact. Even Active has air-con, colour touchscreen infotainment, a leather steering wheel, alloy wheels, cruise control and remote locking. The 1.6 BlueHDi 100 diesel, meanwhile, can average 80.7mpg and emit 90g/km CO2 – even the sprightly BlueHDi 120 manages 76.3mpg. All models have roof bars and alloy wheels, and all but the basic versions have front and rear scuff plates, LED running lights and LED rear ‘claw’ effect tail lamps. The Vauxhall isn’t the most inspiring car to drive, but it looks good, particularly in facelifted X guise – and sells well as a result. Cheapest car now tops £15,000, and prices rise quickly beyond that. Active adds bigger 17-inch alloys, wheelarch extensions, climate control, rear parking sensors, electric rear windows, auto headlights and wipers, smarter interior trim and the Grip Control traction-enhancing device. It’s not too boxy and SUV-like, but not too strait-laced and plain like a normal supermini. You need to watch insurance costs, though. The 2008 scored 70% here, with standard seatbelt reminder, a speed-limiter device, stability control and rear Isofix mounting points for child car seats. Renault’s ultra-popular Captur is Europe’s best-selling crossover. It’s darty and nimble in town, an effect heightened by the high seating position, which adds to your confidence. We haven't tried this in the latest 2008, but it's our favourite engine in the closely related 208 so it should be up to the job. Even better, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across the range, so even a basic 2008 will hook into your smartphone to bring navigation, audio and a multitude of apps into the car. Peugeot’s six-speaker stereo is better than the entry-level norm as well. Combined with grippier tyres, it helps progress when other front-wheel-drive cars may struggle. The GT Line looks good, but costs from almost £20,000 – even with an entry-level PureTech 110 engine. The 2008 is a light and straightforward car to drive, with low-effort controls and a unique feeling of easy alacrity thanks to its fast steering and small wheel. A 0-62mph time of 9.9 seconds instead of 13.5 seconds shows how much faster it is. Servicing is required every 18,000 miles and Peugeot offers an all-inclusive Optiway service plan for £12.99 a month over three years and 35,000 miles. Practicality could be better and prices are not as affordable as they once were, but it’s still worth a look. … Verdict | Design | Interior | Technology | Performance | Safety | Specs | Running Costs | Pricing. When you first step in, two things define it: the tiny steering wheel sitting in your lap and the instrument pack that’s viewed above it – not through it. Peugeot 2008 (2013-2020) review The Peugeot 2008 is a small SUV that offers upmarket practicality and good value for money Renault Captur vs Ford Puma vs Peugeot 2008 The PureTech 110 petrol is so good, you don’t really need to spend extra on a diesel. The 129bhp 1.2 Puretech 130 … Fuel economy is decent. GT Line looks superb. The pedals are a bit close and cramped, and it feels tight for taller drivers unless they slide the seat right back. This generation of Peugeot 2008 is a damn sight more interesting than its predecessor for a multitude of reasons, and its more bespoke styling is the one that’ll hit you first. The 2008 isn’t cheap – you might be surprised to discover how close the trendier Mini Countryman is on price. Peugeot got the balance spot-on when penning the 2008. Read the definitive Peugeot 2008 2020 review from the expert What Car? It’s a top all-rounder that has recently been facelifted. You also get a reversing camera. The crossover cousin to the 208 supermini, the Peugeot 2008 is yet another pseudo-SUV success. Still derived from the popular supermini, it was launched back in 2013 as the firm’s entry into the fledgling small crossover sector, and has gone on to be a really strong-seller. Take a top-spec diesel and the price is north of  £21,500. Headroom is OK, although the panoramic roof of top-spec GT Line trim does reduce it slightly. Classy and upstanding crossover with all the reassurance of Honda engineering and the marque’s superb dealers. It has black alloy wheels, a black chrome radiator grille and gloss black detailing throughout. The 2008 fares well on boot space. Fold them – a two-thirds/one-third-split rear seat is standard across the range – and it extends to 1,172 litres, which is much more than the supermini norm. The base 1.2 PureTech 82 petrol engine doesn't have a turbo and struggles. Small SUVs launch in abundance but thanks to electric power and great interior tech, this is among the most interesting. Peugeot 2008 1.2 Puretech 130 GT Line 2020 UK review. It’s a bit higher off the ground, a bit chunkier and beefier, with some sweet 4x4-like styling cues such as a step in the roof, a tough-looking front bumper and black plastic wheelarches to shrug off green-lane brambles (or, more likely, supermarket trolleys). All models get the seven-inch touchscreen, meaning none is left looking cheap. The driving position isn’t ideal. Glance at the colour chart of the 2008 and you may have to rub your eyes: it seems a sea of grey and white. Allure – smartphone-compatible infotainment and lots of electronic goodies, plus an ingenious laser-cut headlining with ambient lighting. It lugs more like a diesel if you’re lazy with the gears, making it much easier to drive. Choose carefully if you’re a younger or higher-risk driver. Top Gear reviews the Peugeot 2008. It helps the off-road-look 2008 perform better off-road, with settings for snow, mud and sand amongst the options. It’s a line-up of Active, Allure and newer GT Line, and all are well equipped. It scored a full five-star rating, with 88% for adult occupant protection and 77% for child protection. Peugeot got the balance spot-on when penning the 2008. This swallows up nearly all of the legroom behind, and the rear seat itself isn’t so roomy anyway unless those in the front compromise. Another interesting piece of technology is Grip Control, an advanced electronic traction control system that offers five driving modes, accessed via a Land Rover-style ‘terrain response’ dial.
