PEUGEOT 2008, 208

PEUGEOT 2008, 208 covers two compact Peugeot cars, one as a small hatchback and the other as a small crossover. By our assessment, the appeal is the blend of easy city size with a more polished cabin than many budget rivals manage. The trade-off is that these are not large cars, so rear-seat and boot space stay on the modest side, and the smaller body shape is the whole point. In practice they suit people who want light steering, tidy parking manners, and a car that does not feel bulky in traffic. Against the usual small-car field, they sit in the mainstream rather than the bargain end, with the 2008 leaning more practical and the 208 more car-like. The PEUGEOT 2008, 208 name therefore points to everyday transport with a bit more style than plain transport usually gets.
