Comfort and convenience have also been improved with wireless charging, a panoramic sunroof (on higher trims), and additional USB-C ports.
Performance & Powertrain
While the facelift focuses primarily on aesthetics and tech, the powertrain remains unchanged from the previous model — a tried-and-tested 1.2L turbocharged petrol engine paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The engine delivers a punchy performance ideal for urban and highway driving while maintaining respectable fuel efficiency.
Variants and Pricing
Peugeot Pakistan has retained the two-variant strategy for the facelifted 2008:
- Active
- Allure
Although official pricing has slightly increased due to added features and currency fluctuations, the brand has tried to keep it competitive in the compact SUV segment, with prices starting from approximately PKR 6.9 million.
Rising Competition in the Segment
The facelifted Peugeot 2008 will go up against rivals like the Kia Stonic, MG ZS, Hyundai Kona, and Toyota Yaris Cross (recently introduced globally). However, Peugeot aims to stand out with its European design, refined ride quality, and unique driving experience.
Final Thoughts
The launch of the Peugeot 2008 facelift in Pakistan is a promising sign for automotive enthusiasts seeking stylish yet practical European SUVs. With its updated look, upgraded tech, and premium finish, the facelifted 2008 is set to appeal to a new generation of buyers who want more than just utility — they want personality on wheels.
