B-segment crossovers represent one of the hottest markets, so Peugeot wants to make sure its 2008 remains fresh and competitive to grab a bigger piece of the pie. The mid-cycle facelift aligns the model to the latest visual identity introduced with the 508 earlier this year. It gets the claw-like triple vertical lights built into the bumper's glossy black inserts. The flagship GT trim extends the signature look into the full-LED headlights.
Moving at the back, Peugeot has made tweaks to the LED taillights to enhance the "three claw" motif by using three superimposed horizontal double slats. It should be mentioned that the turn signals and reversing lights are also of the LED variety. Other novelties regarding the exterior include 16- to 18-inch wheels molded after those offered for the 408. Selenium Grey represents the launch color while the GT has a two-tone paint with a black roof as standard. Regardless of color, all 2008s will get black side mirror caps.
