Gowan Distributors, PEUGEOT Importer in Ireland, has opened order books for the all-new PEUGEOT 2008 SUV with pricing announced for diesel and petrol models; diesel units have now arrived in Dealership forecourts this February, with petrol powertrains due in March.
Retailing from €23,900, plus delivery related charges for the Active 1.2 PureTech petrol 100bhp model and from €25,900 plus delivery for the Active 1.5 BlueHDi 100bhp model, the full electric e-2008 SUV pricing will be announced closer to launch, this April.
Des Cannon, Managing Director at Gowan Distributors, said: “The stunning all-new 2008 SUV has real road presence and I have full confidence it will gain new custom, even in its very competitive B SUV segment.
“The stunning all-new 2008 SUV has real road presence”
“Our philosophy of offering customers the option to choose the model, then choose the powertrain – petrol, diesel or electric – without compromising on space, technology, looks or driving sensations, is striking a chord with customers. We strongly believe this approach allows customers to opt for the powertrain that best suits their exact needs.”
Sporting a striking, robust front face and strong lighting signature, the new PEUGEOT 2008 SUV is longer and wider than its predecessor model.
Measuring 4.3m long, 1.77m wide and 1.55m high, the all-new PEUGEOT 2008 SUV holds a maximum capacity of 1,467 litres in the boot, even with an electric battery in place; the battery is positioned under the floor of the all-new e-2008 SUV, so there’s no compromise to space.
