Peugeot is unveiling the next step in optimising the 208 platform with the 2008 concept SUV.

Due to debut at Paris motor show later this month, the 2008 concept takes styling cues from the Peugeot Urban Crossover unveiled at Geneva motor show earlier this year – but trumpets its arrival with a blaring neon green and black finish.

Compact cars are booming in sales around the world, and many carmakers are keen to build niches in that segment. So it’s logical to see Peugeot bringing a production version of the 2008 concept to market in the near future.

Engine details for the 2008 concept will be announced in Paris, but a production version will likely be offered with both petrol and diesel options – with the latter something the French brand does particularly well.
