At the Paris Motor Show, Peugeot is presenting the 2008
Concept, a B-Segment follow up to the Urban Crossover Concept it introduced in
Beijing earlier this year. Engineers and stylists worked together in Europe,
China and Latin America to develop the concept, which will go into production
first in France (Mulhouse) in 2013, then in China (Wuhan) and later in Brazil
(Porto Real).
Leveraging the new 208, which went on sale earlier this
year, the 2008 Concept has compact dimensions—4.14m long and 1.74m wide—and is
powered by the first application of a new 1.2, 3-cylinder turbocharged direct
injection engine developing 100 bhp (75 kW).
