Hence, the Brand Peugeot has chosen to present the new 2012 Peugeot 208 as the car which allows your body to fully express itself! And in addition next to it, it has launched the slogan “Let your body drive”.

  • 2012 Peugeot 4008

    Finally, Peugeot tried to fix their huge mistake – 4007 model. The new 2012 Peugeot 4008 boasts distinctive, stylish appearance and 4×4 SUV features – 2×4, 4×4, and LOCK.

    The vehicle looks rather better than the outgoing model. The new Peugeot SUV has floating grille and a feline design of the lamp units with visual signature: at the front, a line of LED daylight running lamps that complement the headlamps and three red claws sculpted rear lamps.

    The off-road character has been emphasised by adopting a vertical design of grille, inclusion of body sill protectors and prominent wheel arch protection trims, to accommodate large wheels enhanced by the sophisticated design of the wheel rims. The almost-horizontal bonnet grooves and the style line – which extends to the rear wing where itdescends again crossing the lamp – are a distinctive feature and appear to hollow out along the body side, accentuating the strong and dynamic aspect of the 4008.

    The engine range includes a 1.6 liter petrol with 115PS (85 kW) and 152Nm. There is also a bigger petrol with 2.0 liters of displacement and more power – 150PS (113 kW) and 198Nm (146 lb-ft).

    Of course, a diesel variant is more suitable for a SUV – a 1.6 liter HDi with 110PS (82 kW) and 270Nm (199 lb-ft) or a 1.8 liter HDi with 150PS (110 kW) and 300Nm (221 lb-ft). Both engines are mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox.

    Hopefully, the new 2012 Peugeot 4008 is more successful than the previous effort of the manufacturer to build a SUV.
