2008 to star at Geneva

The key Peugeot car at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show will be the 2008 small crossover, filling out the brand's people carrier range, writes Brian Byrne.

The car will use the ethos of the 3008/5008 in a smaller vehicle aimed at urban family use.

The engines will come from the 208 hatch range, and will include e-HDi diesel and the marque's new 3-cylinder petrol units. A concept compressed air hybrid powertrain will also be shown.

The car will go on sale in RHD markets sometime in the summer.
