Peugeot 2008 1.2 (EAT6) GTLine 2018 is a petrol powerful SUV B segment that gives you a horse power of 110 or 81KW. You get a big boot space and you will also enjoy sitting on bucket seats and if you are driving around with kids the bench rear seat has been covered with semi leather seats meaning if they pour liquid eg yoghurt wiping it wont be a big issue.

Even though the car comes with a 1200cc engine, the turbo helps in giving it the needed power on the road hence no need to worry about power on long distances. As a matter of fact the Peugeot 120occ turbo produces more horse power than most cars with 1200cc or 1300cc naturally aspirated engines. Toyota fielder has 1500cc and produces 109 hp while demio 1300cc produces 81hp.

Fuel consumption of the car is as follows. Urban fuel consumption 6.6L/100kms, highway or long distance drive is 4.4L/100km and a combined drive is 5.2L/100kms. It takes the car 10 seconds only to hit 100km/hr and uses EAT6 gearbox making it the quickest in peaking compared to say VWs DSG or CVT that comes with many Japanese cars.
