Facelift
The facelift was officially unveiled on May 4, 2023, featuring visual changes and a larger battery for improved range.[13][14]
The updated model has a new front end with new headlights, front apron and grille, while it receives new tail lights in the back. LED headlights and lights are now standard. The grille maintains its overall proportions but has new designs with body coloured elements (except for the base trim, on which it is always black) and the apron now incorporates three vertical lines as the new light signature and DRLs. New colours are available and the new Peugeot brand identity is now featured.[10]
The facelift debuts a bigger 54 kWh battery and a new motor, which result in a range of 406 km, up from 345 km in the pre-facelift.[10]
The second-generation 2008 is built at the El Palomar factory for the Argentine and Brazilian markets. The model began production in June 2024 and was launched in August 2024. It is offered with the Fiat-sourced FireFly 1.0L 120 PS (88 kW) turbo gasoline engine and a continuously variable transmission.[8]
In 2022, Iran Khodro Company (IKCO) unveiled the Reera, which shares platforms with the second generation Peugeot 2008. This car is produced with the gasoline engines, expected to be released in 2024, along with an electric version in 2025.
The gasoline model uses the EFP (1.65 16V TC Dual VVT-i) which is capable of producing 161 horsepower and 240 Nm of torque. Reera's gearbox is a 6-speed automatic (AT) produced by DAE, which transfers power to the Reera's front wheels.
