Peugeot 2008 Concept

Peugeot will unveil its new 2008 Concept at next week's Paris motor show, developed by design teams in Paris, Shanghai and Sao Paolo.

The automaker has confirmed that the 2008 will go into production; first in France, then China and then Brazil as a global product. It comes after Peugeot displayed its Urban Crossover concept at this year's Beijing auto show, which bears an uncanny resemblance to the 2008. 

The 2008 concept, which measures 4,140mm long and 1,730mm wide, is painted matte fluorescent yellow with dark chrome surrounding the now-familar floating grille and the air inlets integrated into the fender. Slender headlamp graphics continue the theme started by the 2010 SR1 concept, as do the scalloped door surfaces.

The door motif curves upwards to form the shoulder line surface that runs into the rear lamps, again continuing recent Peugeot designs. 

Black stripes decorate the lower side of the 2008, extending from the front fender straight along until they flow into the rear fender's air outlets, hiding some of the car's visual mass. The roof rails are integrated into the roof and form the spoiler.
