Peugeot has unveiled a facelifted version of its 2008 small SUV, including the E-2008 electric variant.
The latter model gets perhaps the most significant update with an upgraded powertrain, featuring a larger battery and new electric motor. Power output is increased by 18% to 156hp, and range is increased from 214 miles to 252 miles on the official WLTP cycle.
The regular 2008 comes with 100hp or 130hp petrol engines, with a new petrol mild hybrid option also set to join the range next year.
Exterior design changes with the facelift include a new, wider front end, while both ends of the car feature Peugeot's latest 'vertical claw' light signature arrangement.
Inside, the i-Cockpit driver display screen has been updated with new customisation options, and new seat upholstery is provided.
Orders for the updated range will open this summer, with a choice of Active, Allure, and GT equipment grades. Full specs and prices are yet to be announced.
