Both models are front-wheel drive, though the Allure and GT use a six-speed automatic while the GT Sport gets and eight-speed auto – both sourced from Aisin.

Fuel Consumption

The 2021 Peugeot 2008 uses 6.5L/100km on the combined cycle in the Allure and GT and 6.1L/100km in the GT Sport.

Both versions of the 1.2-litre turbo petrol are Euro 6 compliant.

All models have a 44L fuel tank.

Behind the second row of seats, there’s between 434L and 545L of capacity with the second row in place depending on configuration, expanding to 1015L-1467L with the rear bench folded.
