This is the Peugeot 2008 THP, a crossover efficient, which starts at $ 443.900 – LA NACION (Argentina)

THE Peugeot 2008 is not out of place in any field.

beyond the categorization (is it an SUV, a crossover, a rural?; the best thing is that you may have a little of all), the Peugeot 2008, which tested the version top of the range THP Sport, it is the pioneering model of the brand of the lion on the new route undertaken in the area of vehicles, multi-purpose, confirmed at the recent Paris Salon with the presentation of the new 3008 and 5008, now more SUV than ever before.

The 2008 is a family vehicle, so useful to move around all day in the city to do with comfort on long trips, although mostly run on asphalt, not missing the opportunity of having to travel gravel roads or earth, or go to a beach.

The good thing is that it is not out of place on any surface, thanks to the very good balance of the suspensions and, if necessary, the use of the smart system, Grip Control, which only has this full version of the range, whose modes (Normal, Snow, Mud, Sand and ESP Off, which have to be operated from a dial on the central console) configure the response of the engine and the transmission to adapt the traction of front-wheel drive (the model is 2WD). This system that is the basis of the strategy of Peugeot in this type of vehicle (“there will Not be a SUV Peugeot 4WD, because the 90 odd% of users only walk on asphalt”, he remarked Jean-Philippe Imparato, CEO world of the lion, in a recent interview).

The other cornerstone of the 2008 is the proven and highly efficient power train comprising the engine 1.6 Turbo (BMW-PSA) of 165 HP at 6000 rpm of power and 24.5 a 1400 rpm torque that, in combination with an excellent manual gearbox 6-gear, it offers a good capacity of acceleration and recovery (0 to 100 km/h in 10,1 s; 0-400 m, 17,2 s; 80-120 km/h in 4th, a 7.1 s, and 80-120 km/h in 5th, with 9.1 s) and high efficiency of consumption (9,3 L/100 km in the city and 7.8 L/100 km in route to 120 km/h).
