The Peugeot 2008 SUV is now available in high-specification Allure Premium trim level, with more than £1,400 of additional equipment over Allure trim at a price increase of just £800.

As a permanent range addition, the Peugeot 2008 SUV Allure Premium offers an array of interior and exterior enhancements. Based on Allure trim, Allure Premium brings a full roster of tech and connectivity including a 7-inch colour touchscreen with Connected 3D Satellite Navigation, voice control and TomTom live updates, as well as Peugeot Connect SOS & Assistance.

A standard Cielo panoramic glass roof with an electric blind and ambient lighting is designed to add to the high-quality feel of the car’s interior. The car also features Peugeot’s i-Cockpit with a trademark compact steering wheel trimmed in leather.

On the outside, colour-coded door mirrors and door handles; rear sports spoiler; front & rear scuff plates; wheel arch extensions and roof bars are designed to give the car a commanding road presence, while a colour reversing camera and rear parking aid offers assistance for tight parking spaces.

Allure Premium trim is offered with two engines; the 1.2L PureTech 82 petrol and 1.6L BlueHDi 100. The three-cylinder 1.2L PureTech 82 petrol engine delivers  57.6mpg on the combined cycle.

The 1.6L BlueHDi 100 uses what Peugeot describes as unique technology to reduce nitrogen oxides by up to 90 per cent, also removing 99.9 per cent of particulates. The PEUGEOT 2008 SUV Allure Premium BlueHDi 100 can achieve 76.3mpg combined and CO₂ emissions of just 97g/km. This engine also takes the Grip Control functionality providing a choice of appropriate mode (Standard; Snow; Mud; Sand & ESP Off) for the surface you encounter. Using electronic components that are already installed in the car there is no extra weight added and therefore no additional fuel consumption, unlike a traditional 4×4.

Mark Pickles, Peugeot UK Marketing Director, said: “The addition of the Allure Premium to the Peugeot 2008 SUV was a natural step after the success of the 208 Allure Premium, and offers SUV style, space and presence in a package that represents outstanding value for money.

“For a small premium over the already generous Allure specification, customers will enjoy a host of luxury and technology enhancements which make owning and driving a Peugeot SUV thoroughly rewarding.”
