Originally launched eight years ago the 208 from Peugeot has received a drastic makeover both inside and out.

Like its smaller sibling, the 3008, Peugeot’s largest of people moving machines, the 5008, was incredibly bland and boring, until recently that was when an all-new model was released.

Peugeot’s SUV the 3008 is one that has been growing in popularity since launch some nine years ago, despite being a car that was dull in every way possible – it fitted the practical and affordable needs of many owners – the all-new 3008 raises the bar however.

Peugeot released their all new 3008 offering an SUV that is far from dull, in fact the styling makes this new model quite attractive within the segment and the interior has seen a massive overhaul also

The recently revised new PEUGEOT 2008 SUV that arrived in UK showrooms in June is in strong demand with over 40,000 existing UK customers and 500,000 produced since launch in 2013. The appetite for this model continues to rise, with sales in the first half of 2016 up 16%, with 99,900 units sold worldwide.

We recently received a little gem from French manufacturer Peugeot in the form of a reasonably practical 208 GT-Line. When the 208 range was launched a couple of years ago I was lucky enough to get a drive in one of the first GTi models that came into Northern Ireland and it impressed greatly, so with anticipation was keen to get driving this latest model.

Following the successful launch of the new 208 in June 2012, Peugeot has rejuvenated the diverse Supermini car segment. This new model revolutionises customer choice with its elegance, style, compactness, occupant space and equipment. The 208 has been an instant success and the 208 GTi will deliver even stronger desirability with exhilaration, performance and panache.
