Peugeot 2008 2017, 1.2L is a mini SUV or SUV B Segment with a horse power of 110Hp @205Nm. The car is spacious with good ground clearance fitting into the category of what many Kenyan families are looking at when buying a car.

It is a fuel efficient car that can give you about 20km in one litre. Powered by turbo, the car is not sluggish on the road like many Japanese small engine cars. Peugeot uses Turbo making it hit 100kms/hr in less than 9 seconds; It does not disappoint on the road. A full tank fuel (53Litres) is enough to cover around 900Kms. It is also fitted with Drive Selector Mode button which the driver can use to choose the drive mode depending on whether one is driving on mud, sand or standard road.

Different from the 2015/2016 semi automatic model, the 2017 model got a facelift on the front grill and has a new model radio – Digital Audio Broadcast. Other features remain the same as the 2015/2016 model except the change of gear from semi automatic to full EAT6 gearbox. The EAT6 gearbox that Peugeot uses is one of its kind; changing of gears is almost instant with EAT6 hence helps the car in reducing fuel consumption because with small revs (slightly pressing the gas peddle) the car changes the gears almost instantly.

To avoid hitting objects behind when parking the car is fitted with parking sensors that work together with back camera in ensuring that the driver get a view of the where the car is heading when reversing. Whereas some come with both parking sensors and camera, others only have parking sensors.

If you love travelling to rural areas or you are residing in areas around Nairobi where roads are not favouring small cars such as Demio or Vitz then Peugeot 2008 may serve you need.

To protect the car or to minimise scratches around the lower parts of car, rubber lining is placed all around the car adding beauty to the car as well.
