The latest Peugeot 2008 SUV has a bold design, a stylish interior packed with technology and a range of economical engines. In the crowded small SUV/crossover market, is the 2008 talented enough to see off rivals like the Renault Captur, Ford Puma and Skoda Kamiq? Nicola Hume delivers the Carbuyer in-depth verdict.

Getting a the 21 plate 2008 GT this week and I can't stop watching these videos
Im currently on a Niro PHEV which goes back in November , i think the 2008 is the best looking EV car out there. The only thing stopping me ordering one now , is im worried they release a 64kw version after i order mine.
Now I have my Peugeot 2008 2021 Allure, very happy. What a feeling, and knowing that you are driving one of the best looking cars out there.
Hey! I've never seen one on street but it looks amazing, can you tell me if it's good? Like.. mpg on road/city, the steering wheel feeling or smth like that ?
I’m on the verge of getting one myself. But before I do, I must ask, does the allure only come with front and reversing parking sensors or does it come with that a reversing camera as well?
Are you serious ?Best looking cars?? Lol
What's the sound like?
@@christobalev3246 it's definitely one of the best looking silhouettes for a SUV at least out of the ones we have access to here in Australia for its price range it's great bro what suv do you think are better?
The lion on the Peugeot badge went ‘raaaa’ on my jeans too guys! It’s fine, I’m ok. Thank god I shaved my legs ey?
(I was predicting many ‘terrible jeans’ comments. It’s cool, I’ll wear them more often especially for you😉)
Thanks for sticking with CarBuyer! We’ve got lots more to come!xx
You tell 'em, Nic!
Nickie, you simply the best 😉
Touche!
Impratical boot because it 1 litre less than rivals when the captures seats are slid back the Peugeot’s boot is bigger. The cringest car reviewer ever
I was thinking this exact thing! Exactly perfect jeans for this review LOLLOLLOL
Loving the review style
I was in Tijuana, Mexico when one of these units rolled up to a restaurant that I was sitting in and my jaw dropped; especially, after I found out that it had a 3 cylinder engine.
I'm a huge auto enthusiast and I actually bought a totally awesome, highly functional, highly fuel efficient and low emissions 3 cylinder Daihatsu Boon when I lived in Japan solely because, for an American auto enthusiast, a 3 cylinder car is as exotic as a 16 cylinder car because you just don't encounter them in North America, other than the extremely rare BMW I8 in LA.
Great review! Short and sweet.
I just got my GT Line and I'm pretty happy with it.
I've recently just got this with the allure premium package and it's such a good car, fun to drive but also sensible and comfortable
Just love this woman. A bundle of energy & fun. And already one of the best reviewers. Bravo.
Thanks!
This will definitely be my first car by God’s grace.
Praying for you 🙏🏾
I’m hoping for the same ❤️
Praying for you. Always bring God first. Amen.
insha'Allah you will reach your goals including driving this nice car. If God wants, I will get a 2008 to replace my car 🚙
Peugeot really needs to upgrade the 2008 here in Brazil! This new model looks awesome!
It is awesome, a huge leap forward over the previous model. I had the original 2008 then the facelifted model now I have the GT Line in pearlescent white.
Nice and usefull video. But is there any difrense of year model 2020 and 2021 ?
Is the facelift Skoda Superb Estate on your list ? Interested to know how much worse the NVH is compared to premium brands like 5/A6/E as a top spec one is the same price as a lower/mid range premium one. Thanks
Got mine last week. Love it.
Great video
I’m waiting on my new 2008
I can’t wait !!
That was a very enthusiastic and pleasant review. In fact, it was so pleasant that i wouldn't mind if it was slightly longer and maybe a bit more detailed. Good job girl!
Thanks! Are there particular areas you'd like more detail on? Let us know and we'll do our best to add them in next time around!
@@carbuyer hi 🙋♀️ would you maybe focus more on the driving and maybe go into more detail about it
Greeting from America I love the styling
Looks great 👌
What type of oil the car must use
Im happy with my Peugeot 2008 2018, so I will get my 2008 2021 in a couple of months. One huge factor is the looks, besides that I have good experience.
New model is a huge leap forward don't you think? How are you getting on with yours?
I drive a 2017 2008 GT Line and I have grown to like it just sorry I wasn't patient enough to find an automatic. I will give this successor a serious look maybe next year. Still not sure about the electric version though.
I have this in pearlised white .This baby is a dream to drive loves to cruise loves to speed about.
A real chill machine
I'd love you to show a 2023/ 24 model. Please include which have heated steering wheel and seats.
Like your style of review
Thanks for the nice review, we are expecting its launch in Pakistan very soon
Good review Nicola, I bought a GT Line in Pearlescent White in 2020
You complain about having to use the touch screen to use the air con.
Why not use the voice control to set temperature? You made no mention of this.
Got to say it is a great car, having owned the two previous versions this is a huge leap forward.
I didn’t know you could do that! Interesting! How effective is it?
@@themanwithinflatableknees8770
Press the button on steering wheel and tell it to reduce temperature, it works fine. Also it can navigate, change radio station or play music from flash drive plugged into usb socket. Handy feature but nowhere as good as Mercedes mbux system
Please inbox me anytime you feel like selling it I will buy thank you.
really enjoyed this review
Thanks Vaseem, glad you liked it!
So the 2019 model is the exact same as the 2021 model?
Id absolutly lovvvve one of these in the blue colour 😍💙 stunning car
My neighbour two doors up bought the blue one , that’s why we went for the grey one 😉👍
No mention of ride quality or interior noise ?
Just got one great car but most annoying thing is I can not ajust the hight of the head lights keep getting flashed by other drivers
Nicola is a natural if front of the camera , what a great presenter x
Thanks! Loads more great videos to come.
Always review the sound system💽🔉🔊🎶🎚️🎸🎺🙄
You can upgrade the sound system to a Focal unit though you lose the spare wheel as the subwoofer goes in its place. The standard system is pretty good though.
Looking at buying one of these , very stylish .
I always wonder how 2008 is different from 3008?
Which one is better and why ?
I really like this presenter, she's very knowledgeable and charismatic
Peugeot all time, i bought it. im on wait list by a month.. two months to get it from now 🎊🎊🎊🎉🎉🎉
Top notch review. You really are very good.
Nice video! And the car is really cool too, with one large but... I was eyeing for used 3008 as prospective candidate for my wife's next commuter, but I was appalled how expensive a reasonable mileage used 3008s were. Then I started looking at 2008s, at first I was delighted to see Peugeot's still offering a sensible alternative in my country (diesel one), but then I was bemused how expensive it was! Over 32k€ without much of extras!!! At that price I'd at least expect to get a 4WD, but no. =(
I James - I also found that 3008 and 2008 are v expensive (good news is of course that they hold their price). If you look at my comment, I shopped around on the Internet. Spoticar were good as I wanted approved used. I live near Southend and found two 2008s in emaculate condition: one in Plymouth, the other in Leamington Spa each was £5000 less than prices for same spec higher mileage cars from my local Peugeot dealer. I contacted the dealer in Leamington and they were great - sent me a personal walk around video and a copy of the vehicle history (which they had servied from new - got everything.about the car). So there are cheaper good deals out there if you shop around and are prepared to travel
This girl is so watchable, however once again Carbuyer have given her a car that's been out for a while. Give her newer models to test.
@@flaxvert it is still being made
@@flaxvert it is though...
@@flaxvert Very glad you told me my GT Line doesn't really exist. No idea what I have been driving for the last year then.
Very Beautiful
Peugeots are great. Just bought a 508SW. Fabulous car.
The 508 is a great car - and further proof that Peugeot is on a role! Hope you enjoy your new car.
Why do you not drive over ramps and give us an idea of how good or bad the suspension is?
Good looking for small SUV segment....but too bad it doesn't have aircond vent for rear passenger.
It looks good for a car
I love the look of these cars i like the orange colour,but the blue looks amazing.This could be my next car but a used one.This car looks great,spacious,comfortable etc.Btw Nicole you look great too sorry just saying lol.
Does anybody know if the gt premium is the highest standard model ?
Yes.
The high door frame sill is very high for anyone like me that has mobility issues and the lack of steering wheel movement made the getting in and out of the driving seat difficult. Not a car for those lacking mobility. I’ll stick with the Makkah which gives access and egress higher up the list.
I have just ordered my 2021 2008 GT Sport in Artense Grey with the black wheels. I can't wait to get it!! I have been looking for a new car since the end of 2020 and finally came across this beauty from Peugeot. It stole my heart from first sight xx
Tracey I hear you. I was exactly the same. Literally everything you said I can relate. I just ordered in Black with black wheels my heart was stolen the first time I seen it also! How long have you been advised you need to wait? (Assuming you’re buying from the factory and not existing stock?)
@@Nicholas_Callum Hi there!! Peugeot 2008 stole my heart too and ordered from the factory the allure plus version in orange!! I wanted to answer you about the time I’ve been advised to wait , well , I ordered it at 19 of July and it’s been like 2 months already , they told me that I have to wait for like 4 months , so I hope there’s 2 more months to go.
Wondering who is more is more stylish between the car and the good lady. The conclusion is epic. Tells you all you need to know if confused or ignorant on which one to pick.
Nice one! :)
I can't decide between this one or the new citroën c4
This Peugeot is better in every aspect the citreon is so ugly especially the back
Nice review Nicola ,lots of Suv,s these days so brave designs are appearing my Jeep looks square in comparison lol oh well what shall I buy next ....
Love it
Mines on order 20th September. Gt diesel
I enjoyed watching the Video Review. GT and GT Line will be the most popular
I hired one of these recently and I really struggled with it. Hesitant auto box, weird steering wheel & driving position, but the biggest problem was that I found the driver’s seat very hard & uncomfortable. I’m not a fan of the interior either - too showy & fussy. Wish I’d had a VW Golf instead.
Can't please some people
I wanted a 508 fastback but my parents got a 2008 Allure in BLUE!! I never wanted it. I hate SUVs. I wanted something sleek.
@@dmitryogrady2004 buy it yourself then
@@dmitryogrady2004 you'll get to buy your own car when you leave home
I also reviewed the Peugeot 2008 (electric version) in my channel! Great car! I really am impressed with the design
That's the only orange car that I have seen that I actually like.
Thank you for the nice review.
The Peugeot is not my first choice, but it's way better than the germans. The Renault Captur and this 2008 with the Ford Puma are the best.
All great choices, and each with their own plus points. We loved all three!
Peugeot is one of the best brands nowdays.They make beautiful cars with one of the nicest interiors in the market
Steer clear of Renault
@@stuartselkirk7581 why?
Reliability issues and dealers inability to fix faults.
Pakistan me is ke qa prize ho ge
Cool vid agin from this woman presenter. Plus it’s good see a Peugeot as I’m half french
Thanks! Nic will be presenting loads of great videos over the next few months. Stay tuned!
@@carbuyer she is much better than that other squeaky woman Rebecca
graaaawl for head / tail lights and design and meowwwwn from small engine.
Beautiful know
I have the new 2008 with the 3 tiger lights as i call them. Its a 1.2 petrol and to be honest i can't fault it except one thing a reversing camera which it hasn't got if peugeot put one it would be a crscking car
Here in France monochrome colours are the norm so even a bright red or blue VW stands out omong the appliance-like cars parked everywhere
😮 finally no more weird side shots of the presenter talking to another camera. 🥳
See, we do listen!
Hi Peugeot... please bring the new 208 to india
liked the review but got fed up with you praising the Puma and Captur,! I struggled to get in & out of the Captur? we've test tried all of them (as well as Kona and Niro) for looks there's no comparison, the 2008 is a different class, in style and quality inside and out! Nicola, you're wrong on this one mate.
What is the quality of the interior like on the new 2008 compared to the Puma?
It’s a cracking runner with a fantastic chassis and a great looking bumper front and rear. The car is not bad either.
I have a Peugeot 2008
The Peugeot 2008 is a small SUV that I may buy because I'm single and don't carry people nor passengers (not even friends lol my car is literally where I get to have my own personal time) but over here in my country, the price is too expensive because of my country's protectionism policy for the local automobile companies.
That's a shame as the choice is so broad these days. Which models are considered good value in your country?
@@carbuyer anything made by the local car manufacturers of course 😂 imagine annual salary for a fresh graduate of 36,000. A local car manufacturer can offer a subcompact sedan at starting price of 45,000 whereas models within the same class (subcompact sedan) offered by Honda, Nissan and Toyota start at around 75,000. High excise duty, add on with our currency's relative low exchange rate AND stagnant wage since the 1980s. Guess how most people afford to buy new cars? Hire purchase of 9 years is a norm, not because people want to, but we are stuck with little to no choice (even the 45,000 subcompact sedan requires monthly instalment of around 450 per month over 9 years). Most warranties for new vehicles end by 5 years so during year 6 - 9, you pray hard the car does not break on you 😂
still would
Refreshing design ,outstanding not one of the pack I like it.
No physical buttons for heating controls, I’m out.
Where is the new crossland from vauxhall
It's on our list! Soon!
@@carbuyer thank you
The French car makers offer an outstanding short-term leasing program for vacationers in Europe from the US, but none of them market their cars here (as far as I can tell) so here I am on CZcams. This one is available for an astounding US $20 per day on a 90 day (Schengen sucks) lease, but only with a diesel if you want a manual transmission. Any thoughts on that drive train would be appreciated. Oh, and I can surely put up with that wonky steering wheel for three months . . . but why Peugeot, why? 😎
Best looking crossover
And that's saying something cus there's so many out there now but this just rly stands out from the rest (apart from the C5 Aircross of course)
@@georgedowns4034 new DS also
@@BokulaA yes
@@georgedowns4034 Crazy thing is that golf class C cost more or same as crossovers ..In few years everything will be crossover
@@BokulaA in a way it's kinda a shame cus estates are arguably equally as good but I guess SUVs have their benefits
We have a black 22 plate lovely car why have a Jag f pace these are so much nicer looking
I love to buy it when it's in my country 🇮🇳🤦🤷
T Cross when???
We'll add it to the list. Meaning the answer is ... very soon!
U look better than all the cars in this world ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Give her a raise. She does a good job, and then she can afford some new pants
savage lol
Pants mean something different in the UK.
but u can't see her pants
Are my jeans that ripped that you can see my pants through them?! Well, this is embarrassing.
Did the lion do that to your jeans?
😂
Shes beautiful.....i mean the car.....
👍
Nice video but what is going on with your jeans 😳.
She is cute 🥰
Here for the cars eeeeyyyy.
Nice, but I think the Kia Niro leads the class
Capture doesn’t look really this good so yes ofcourse is more cheaper..entry level motor is crap,interior quality the same.. ..if you compare the small price e diference of the top model you will consider the Peugeot because of the better looks and overall quality
Outside yes. inside, nope.
Perfectly car and beautiful woman ! I am from indonesia
Wow got manual huhu
I'm here for the car review.... aham, yeah right :))
It's a shame you can't afford a decent pair of trousers. 😂
The Renault Capture isn't in the same league with the 2008.
Style over substance a bit......oh and the infotainment system user interface is shockingly bad!
Shockingly, really?
Stylish ! Yeah. All it needs is holes in the bonnet and it would be perfect.
