The 2021 Peugeot 2008 is one of the most expensive non-luxury small SUVs on the market. Why? Well, it drives with real flair and the interior is actually fairly upscale. But is the new 2008 SUV seriously worth the extra money over a Mazda CX-3, Skoda Kamiq, Renault Captur or Volkswagen T-Cross? In today’s video, Ponch looks into whether Peugeot’s new pint-sized crossover is any good.
Should you consider the Peugeot 2008 GT Sport for your next SUV? Or is a more established badge worth the extra spend?

Is $44k a fair price for the 2008 GT Sport?
No
Given the attractive looks, features and decent interior quality, I would say 40k driveway would have been a good price. Unfortunately decades of poor distribution and marketing hasn't really help the reputation of Peugeot as a brand in Australia.
Nope
MG ZST Essence better value and almost as good according to Wheels
No
Have owned the 2024 Allure model for a month now. Absolutely LOVE it. Looks amazing and feels top quality. So nice to drive and am so glad that I didn't listen to the French car naysayers :)
I bought a current model 2008 GT a month ago. I definitely don't regret it. Really smooth driving and great acceleration.
Good choice!
I agree with all your final comments. It’s definitely a great looking SUV and worth the asking price in my opinion.
This new Peugeot looks great. And it has some real buttons and knobs on the dashboard, which is such a relief. There’s even a proper volume knob. So much better than using a stupid touchscreen slider or haptic button.
I bought one, a GT Line. It’s absolutely amazing. Thanks for the review.
I have an Peugeot 2008 2021 Onyx Black Allure 130 HP. Very happy with it, and it really stands out. You know for fact that you are driving a good looking car.
You are amongst the best car reviewer I've seen... Great job. I am actually considering this car.
Looks so much more stylish than nearly all other competitors. Well built. Great to drive. Superb interior. We love ours just worried they'll become super popular. Don't want to end up looking me Audi, BMW, Merc; driven by every other driver....in black or grey....dull.
Great review.
What a stupid comment, no-one cares if it's popular
Fortunately I don't think you'll have to worry about Peugeots becoming too popular here. People are badge snobs and will always pick the German brands first.
Enjoy your lovely 2008 :)
Thanks for your review Nathan. This has got to be one of the standouts in its class.If we believe all the other reviewers we should all be driving VWs and Mazda’s.
Hi from Norway 🇳🇴👋🏻 I have one 💙 and feel like a queen 👑 when I am on the road. And yes, it is worth it. Also a classy and cool looking car.
I bought the 2008, 22 plate, love it!
Great review video Jimmy well done
This guy gives the best reviews... Great job!!!!
Great review Ponch, like how casual and conversational it is but tells me all I want to know. Nice to mix it up with more Peugeot vehicles well.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Can't wait to get this ride ❤
I have a T9 308. The nappa leather seats are the best seats ever.
The steering wheel is among the best things with Peugeot. Love it!
This One is Really Cool Looks Like a Lexus UX,Infiniti QX30 Or Citroen C4
We have one and like it except that you seem to sit on it, rather than in it.
Good handling if you push it, very good, and it feels safe, well built, no squeaks or rattles of any kind.
Our is the 130bhp with 8 speed auto (Spanish spec - Allure+) and we are pleased with it.
Peugeot in general are making some beautiful looking cars! In particular the 508 Touring, but as far as SUV’s go, this is definitely a great looking one. Good review Ponch.👍🏼😎
The 508 Touring is something special.
Thorough and comprehensive review as always Nathan. I can't get enough of Chasing Cars reviews. My wife and I are just about to order the Kamiq Monte Carlo - might have to have a look at this one on the way through.
Kamiq is another great option!
Great review Nathan. My partner and I just watched this and she said to me I think we have found my next car 😊👍
And my partner also said. “They should show the car at night a lit up interior and exterior”
Good idea!
have you brought it yet?
@@spaceandsky1829 we are in the boarder bubble so hard to get across to test it even 😔
Very good review, Nathan. Looks an impressive car
Glad you liked it!
Hey Matt, I mean Nathan. Any cup holders? In 2021 its about time. And how about a remote boot release? Have they added one yet?
This is why i'd go for the lower spec model. Smaller wheels and Big tire profile, This car will never be a sports car, But on 16 inch wheels with the auto box. Its a very comfortable motorway mile muncher.
Great review, had a test drive a few weeks ago it’s a beautiful car to drive. My wife and I are looking at buying one I must admit a little concerned regarding the price still a lot of car for the price.
Would love to see the review for the base model!
Its the right car for a female, empty nesters, or a small family. Any which way you evaluate it, nothing comes close to it in exterior or interior looks. Pity the incoming cars have most safety features removed.
Excellent video though!!
It looks amazing
Very curious your opinion if there is a big difference between models 2018-2020 and between model 308 and 2008?
Hi Nathan 👋 Thanks for the review...but I would like to have seen the HUGE sunroof operation...and more of the Car features...and slightly less of you just chatting away...but Thank You for the review... Cheers Mate 👍
At my wits end!! Should I get this GT Sport or the Ford Puma ST-Line V?? With the Puma spec'd with the opening glass sunroof (2008 does not) and the park assist function, 10 speaker B&O and easier to read instruments, I really can't decide. The 2008 does have 20more KWS as well and all that torque...
Awesome review thank you for sharing, shows modern technology and engineering Peugeot 2008 top model good price 😉
Thanks for watching!
i just love the competition in motor industry nowadays even cheapest of cars have to make it better to get sales
I wonder how this stacks up against the Skoda Karoq. The Karoq is on the small side of the mid-size segment so it's only around 8cm longer than the 2008 and in a similar price bracket.
How is the maintenance like for this 2008, any owners guru out there care to share plz......
Fantastic exterior & interior however pricing is bit high. It does miss few safety/driver aid features such as High Speed emergency braking, Rear cross traffic alert etc. Anyway the main concern is about the resale value.
Great review Ponch.
You’ve convinced me to take a closer look at both the 2008 and 3008.
Just need to verify the seating position.
Any chance of reviewing the 3008 if you haven’t already?
Can't understand why Peugeot has included a volume knob when there's a volume control on the steering wheel and also on the infotainment screen. That should have been dedicated to either the fan speed of temperature control. Just a stupid inclusion! Otherwise a cracking car and it's one I'm going for at the end of the year because Peugeot seem to be the only manufacturer that still, sensibly, uses a torque converter gearbox. So much easier to drive in heavy traffic!
"New Peugeot 2008". Me: isn't it 2021? Brain stopped working for a moment there lol.
Feels like the resolution isn't as sharp in this video. Hoping to see some 1440p action in the future
Was hoping for something a little wackier from the kooky French tbh.
1287 kg kerb is pretty good for an SUV. I do wonder about the longevity of all these new high output small capacity engines tho.
@@hrrrrrrr2084 My small capacity, high output engine has been around since 2011 and it went BANG at 180,000 km. Many don't even make it that far :(
@@CathodeRayNipplez What car and engine? it's very unfortunate
Also Peugeots and Citroens - and now Opels and all Stellantis cars based on PSA - are light. Less strain on the engine compared to competitors.
@@hrrrrrrr2084 Lets just say it's a French engine. Yes it's unfortunate and it's too common. Cars are getting heavier not lighter and the one that went bang is one of the lightest. High output + low capacity = high stress. Result is reduced lifespan. This is unavoidable physics. I've learnt my lesson.
The passenger seatbelt is very awkward to slot in, I also wish there was a button to close the boot, and I can't see the speedo in centre as the steering wheel is in my line of vision.
It looks great and the price is reasonable for such a great car!
Agreed Poncho, new grille badge going forward is terrible.
The roof of the GT model can be open to allow air flow from the exterior?
Yes
When will this car be available in calif.
Nice honest video. Great car. 10l/100km a little disappointing.
Sold!
I fell for this mermaid chant a few years ago with my Peugeot 106.
One day in the highway a rock broke my windshield. 7 months later and 30% of the car price to replace it, I could finally have it fixed and sold to an unfortunate soul.
A mate of mine once said buying cars is like dating women, if you go out with the gorgeous exotic one she will be high maintenance and eventually leave you and take a lot of your money..eurotrash cars 🤣
@@andrewgreen215 this is such a perfect analogy, thanks for that 😂
What are the concerns for the 3 cylinder engine? Apart from slight vibrations is it reliable on the highway with AC on and 3 persons aboard?
Quando chegará ao Brasil !
Nathans new joggers look....good!
2008 looks too much like some new Citroen SUV
What about getting spare parts?
I have ordered one on lease the GT version only £184 a month
peugeot 2008 or Skoda kamiq?
With my former car people never came to me and told me it was a good looking car, I like dit myself but that was the care. Wih tis car is different story-
And was just thinking, 'Pretty modern looking for 13 yr old car' 😁
Beautiful
Does anyone know if boot window opens?
it doesn't open
308 wagon coming down under?
We think so.
It’s a beautiful looking car. Had a close look at one last weekend. Wouldn’t own one though as I’m scared of running costs and longevity in European cars.
Im speaking as someone from the UK who never owned,but worked for a Peugeot Main Dealer Parts department for almost 30 years and only left late last year.The key for engine reliability seems to be a combination of driving not just town.....premium fuel and regular oil changes with quality oil,as this engine's cambelt runs in oil.Also i notice Peugeot Australia offer a more lengthy warranty than its UK equivalent ( must have something to do with size of the market ) as essentially both models are the same, UK or Australia are RHD! The product Peugeot offer is a lot more premium than when i first started with them,the last 7 years has seen a massive upturn in quality! ( and yes that includes electrics !! ) A lot of issues can be eliminated by a simple download from a Main Dealer as basically they are rolling computers nowadays!! Hope this helps,as for spares prices sorry i cant speak for you guys,but in the UK most items are reasonably priced,the only parts prices that shocked me were for outer trims like lower door mouldings etc.
This or the KIA Cerato GT?
That's my dilemma
I wonder if this is a paid promo or does Peugeot have any sort of commercial affiliation with Chasing cars?
That’s easy. No, and no.
In any case much more than the boring vw
It looks 47 times better than horrible VW T-roc. And is faster.
And probably more reliable.
*I’m the 699th person to like this video*
unfortunately, they ruined the front with the facelift
Most will disagree.
@@TrueSkeptic77 I disagree with your disagreement & agree with alexger85. With it's besser block-like, truck-like front, small windows (unlike Skoda's Kamiq) & black headlining, makes the interior very claustrophobic to me, an ex-Peugeot-phile.
I once had the displeasure of driving a rental of the previous model and a total shitbox it was: cramped, no comfort and it drove terribly. Even my old Renault 4 used to be much better. People down here in Brazil buy lots of these and their competitors, which are equally awful. Go figure.
💜🤍💚🧡🧡🙇♀️
The engine has common problems so it is misleading. Just got rid of my 3008. French cars look good, but terrible engines!
Can you please substantiate your comment. Which engine, what component, how many miles on the component, maintenance schedule, etc.
@@chasingcars I had the 1.2 130 bhp manual. It was Peugeot 3008. I only driven it for 2 years, but it developed engine problems. The engine fault light does not go away even after service! Dealer couldn't identify the issue. My mechanic mentioned it is a common problem with French cars. This particular engine can't be a award winning engine because it takes long period to establish this. My car only did 20K! It was well maintained too. I decided to purchase Toyota CHR. Never again French cars!
@@SayemTabla I feel the best engine for the 2008s is 1.5 Blue Hdi 130hp. Although It could’ve been a bit bigger, faster and more powerful since it’s got the looks and the size for a slightly more powerful engine but it’s still good, in my opinion. As for the 3008, they really should put a bigger, better & more powerful engine but PSA seems to have perfected only the 1.5 blue hdi (130hp) engine, which is way too small for a 3008! The 1.2L engine shouldn’t even exist and you already know why.

but it doesn't rhyme
RE, RE, RE ... Ta-RD.
YES, YES, YES ... Peugeot-YES.
Ah it is French. No thanks.
But they make such good cheese
football's coming home lol
French??!!! Where are australian’s cars? Tell me. Who invented v8? Do you know Alpine? Bugatti? Venturi? Dallara? All french. Helicopters, planes, metric system, art, .... You want more? Where are you?Where is Australia? You haven’t your own history. You’re just a poor english colony. How can you compare our two countries? Go back to school kid, you should learn a little bit more to respect my country....🇫🇷 VIVE LA 🇫🇷
French cars are shit. Sorry mon ami but it’s true
Quando chegará ao Brasil !
