Design
The Peugeot is the last model of the trio on the market. It starts in the summer. Visually, the triplets actually differ only at the front. This is where each model's own brand image is used. The silhouette is the same for all three vehicles. At the rear taillights give different for an individual touch. Overall, peugeot 4008 looks very consistent. With a length of 4.34 meters and the parking space is not a game of patience. Due to the high seating position, all occupants a good view of the road. The ground clearance of 20 cm can also visit the light off. Space and boot capacity can keep pace with the established competition, but no set standards.
