Launched in 2019, the current Peugeot 2008 will finally play extensions. This second generation will therefore take advantage of a new restyling, to wait until the arrival of the third version, 100% electric. Here is the latest information we have.
For a time, it was planned that the current Peugeot 2008 was replaced in 2026. But the current economic situation of the automotive market, as well as the upheavals which took place internally at Stellantis, changed the situation. Eventually, The next generation will not point the end of its hood before 2028. The second version will therefore play the extensions, and will therefore soon take advantage of a deep overhaul to remain attractive.
A new restyling for the current generation
Initially planned for 2026, the third iteration of the Peugeot 2008 will not finally arrive before 2028. The current one, which was launched six years ago, in 2019, therefore quickly risks accusing the weight of years. To remedy this, The lion brand will then offer him a second restyling. No date has yet been communicated, but we know that the 2008 will evolve in depth.
Indeed, unlike what we have already seen in the past, Peugeot will not repeat the diagram of the 206+ and 207+. The 2008 will indeed be entitled to a real overhaul, which will focus on both design and on -board equipment. Internally, this restyled version is currently known as « Long Life » (long life). If the changes are still blurred, we can expect to find Some gimmicks already seen on higher models, such as 3008 and 5008. This will allow, in addition, to make the link with the real third generation, which will arrive later.
Peugeot therefore intends to continue to offer a thermal offer on the urban SUV niche. However, The third generation of 2008, on the other hand, will indeed be exclusively electric. If the plans do not evolve by 2028, of course.
The current 2008 will therefore receive a stroke of scalpel, to hold until 2028.
Peugeot 2008: a third generation metamorphosed
Three years, this is the time it will take before discovering the next version of the Little Lion SUV. And if no official image has been published, the manufacturer has still let some information filter. We know that the design of this third 2008 will evolve clearly, with new stylistic codes. The front panel will adopt the famous « Fusion Mask ». It is a transverse black banner which integrates optics, and which evokes the old models of the brand (notably the Peugeot 505). Same principle for fires, back. On the template side, the small SUV should reach 4.35 m long.
There will also be new on board. The future Peugeot 2008 will inaugurate the hypersquare, the new house rectangular steering wheel. In addition to its shape, it has the distinction of being devoid of mechanical connection with the wheels. This is called a direction « steer-by-wire ».
On the technical side, the future 2008 will be based on The Stla Small platform. We expect to find LFP batteries from around 40 to 55 kWh, for a range of up to 500 kilometers. Finally, the panel of engines should extend From 120 horsepower, for the basic version, at 280 for the GTI declination.
Le Peugeot 2008 « 3 » will be launched during 2028. It should start around 36,000 euros.
