Updated 2008 coming later this year


The Peugeot 2008 in an updated design and with improved power will go on sale in late 2003, writes Brian Byrne.

Powertrains at launch will include a new electric motor with 156hp and a rated range of up to 406km.

Two 1.2 petrol engines of 100hp and 130hp will have 6-speed manual transmission for the former and and a choice from manual or 8-speed automatic for the more powerful one. A hybrid option will come in 2024.

Exterior dimensions and boot volume remain unchanged.
