The second-generation Peugeot 2008 got introduced in 2019 in a completely new design. Since then, the SUV has worn the new brand face with a saber-tooth look and looks almost like a baby 3008. The technical basis is provided by the CMP platform, which also enables the all-electric e-2008. Now Peugeot is planning a facelift for the series, and our spies in Sweden caught a prototype wearing camouflage over a modified rear bumper and updated taillights. While the front of this 2008 is still from the current model, this is the first sighting of what’s to become the midcycle facelift.
Outside, the 2008 comes a little sharper in the future, with the air intakes in the front slightly growing. There will also be new headlights with different lighting graphics. The grill should be changed slightly, but the saber-tooth daytime running lights are retained. Stellantis also announced two new versions as well as more safety and comfort features.
Peugeot should also lend a hand to the drive.
The electric version will also get an upgrade. As with the sister models DS3 Crossback E-Tense and Jeep Avenger, the battery should in future be equipped with a capacity of 54 kWh instead of the current 50 kWh; that would give the SUV a small range plus. Instead of the previous 320 WLTP kilometres, the new battery could cover up to 400. Performance will probably increase from 136 to 156 hp.

Petrol and diesel variants (previously with 100 to 130 hp) are likely to be launched as mild hybrids with a 48-volt electrical system.
