Say bonjour to the new Peugeot 2008, the little high-rider that's riding high on the growing popularity of the B-segment crossover market in Europe. Reports of late say production in Mulhouse, France is set to double and analyst IHS Automotive is expecting it to lead the class in terms of sales, ahead of the Nissan Juke, Renault Captur and Opel/Vauxhall Mokka.
How it'll fare in Malaysia, though, is an interesting matter, given that it's the first of this new breed of supermini-based SUVs to arrive here. Set to join it are the Ford EcoSport and perhaps even the Honda Vezel further down the line, which should make the game even more exciting to play.
But that's a story for another day. You've seen it up close at KLIMS13. You know its specs, equipment and price. And now that it's officially gone on sale in Malaysia, there isn't a more opportune time to tell you how much motion and emotion it has to offer behind the wheel. We take you to the eastern French region of Alsace, where the Peugeot 2008 international press drive took place.
