A few weeks after Renault, Peugeot presented its first city SUV in March 2013, designed to attract the clientele of SUV enthusiasts without disturbing the owners of the 207SW, which would not be replaced by any model. The 2008 was characterized by a vague off-road look, much more classic than that of its direct competitor, the Renault Captur. From the 208 the 2008 took up most of the engines, except the 68 horsepower petrol units and the 1600cc of the 208 GTI. A very successful car, the 2008 had a first restyling in May 2015. It went out of production in 2019. There are also some special series, including the Crossway and the Style.
