Just imagine it as a hardcore Dakar racer. This, ladies and gentlemen, is the seemingly angry new Peugeot 2008: a sort of jacked-up 208 hatch, battling the burgeoning class of mini-SUVs. Like its sister cars the Citroen C3 Aircross and DS3 Crossback. And other stuff like VW T-Cross, Seat Arona, Nissan Juke, Hyundai Kona, Kia Stonic you get the picture. There are loads of em. All small and fighty. None, we suspect, as fighty as this. It certainly looks upset about something. Peugeot explains it"s "a lively and incisive style", and the word "robust" is deployed. In a market now saturated by these little SUVs, standing out is probably a good shout. The C3 Aircross looks positively cuddly in comparison.
