PEUGEOT 2008 GT ROAD TEST

  By ,

In the absence of the 208 hatch, the 2008 has become by default the baby of the Peugeot range. But it’s a baby that the French company can justifiably be proud of, at once stylish, fun to drive and technologically advanced. Even better, it uses very little fuel. What’s not to like? Read on. STYLING The 2008 is a genuine work of automotive art. The detail that has gone into the design is amazing with a black roof, concave radiator grille, sculpted front fascia and sharp plunging LED lights. Look… Read more

PEUGEOT 508 GT SPORTSWAGON PLUG-IN HYBRID

  By ,

The Peugeot 508 has been on sale in Australia since July 2011. A mid-sized sedan or station wagon, it fitted into the space between the smaller 407 and larger 607, effectively replacing both cars.

The previous petrol-only variants were dropped from the range at the end of 2022 leaving just the more-expensive PHEVs. STYLING As has been the case throughout two body styles are… Read more

  By ,

Wow. Peugeot has transformed the mid-sized 3008 into an electric coupe and it’s ready to knock your sock off.

PEUGEOT 2008 2013 – 2022

  By ,

  Peugeot 2008 is a small crossover SUV based on the Peugeot 208 hatchback. It arrived in  Australia in 2013 and offered an interesting alternative to vehicles that chiefly came from  Asian countries.    It is relatively conservative in its style, unlike that of what is probably its closest competitor,  the Renault Captur which, of course, is also from France.    Interior space is good for a wagon of this size, though it’s better suited to couples with pre- teen children rather than four adults. Changes to the seat design… Read more

PLUG-IN PACK FOR PEUGEOT 408 FASTBACK

  By ,

Peugeot is producing some of the most stylish cars available and the 408 Fastback is one of them. Arriving later this year, it follows close on the heels of the Citroen C5 X with which it shares a platform. The 408 also shared the same headlights, taillights, and dashboard design as the third- generation 308, which was developed alongside it. Described as a coupe crossover, the fastback design cuts an eye-catching silhouette. The 408 will be offered as a single powerful plug-in hybrid version in Australia. The hybrid petrol-electric powertrain… Read more

PEUGEOT 308 PLUG-IN HYBRID

  By ,

Peugeot’s GT Sport Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV) hatchback has become the fourth model to join the French carmaker’s 308 compact range. It joins the GT hatch, GT Premium hatch and GT Premium wagon petrol variants. First sold here in 2008 the 308 has never seriously challenged comparable models from Japan or South Korea for sales, but those loyal to the French brand have always loved it for its style, comfort and handling. The new 308 PHEV is Peugeot’s third plug-in petrol-electric hybrid, joining the 3008 GT Sport SUV and 508 Fastback… Read more

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER FOR PEUGEOT E-2008 EV

  By ,

Peugeot has revealed its first fully-electric passenger car. Expected in the third quarter of this year, the e-2008 is a small SUV that will be priced from $59,990 plus on-roads. Pre-orders are being taken now, but stocks will be limited. Except for the fact the e-2008 was actually launched way back in 2019 overseas, it might be mildly exciting. Peugeot’s Kate Gillis said the EV is an eagerly anticipated addition to the local range as the company continues its journey to electrification. “We are confident the e-2008 will provide discerning… Read more
