When thinking of buying a Peugeot vehicle, there are many advantages, including the innovative technology they have recently introduced. No matter if you choose a new or used Peugeot, you will never fall short of their range of modern technology within their range.
This was especially noticed by the Red Dot Award 2022 (the highest distinction in Product Design), which was awarded to the new Peugeot 308 for its allure, distinctive style, quality of its design, and its innovative i-Cockpit. At the forefront of producing state-of-the-art cars, the French car manufacturer offers innovative ground-breaking technology for their drivers, such as the Peugeot i-Cockpit, Park Assist, Grip Control, and CarPlay.
As part of overcoming wider issues to the environment, Peugeot announced that the 208 and larger 2008 SUV have an average of 31% and 30% recycled and natural materials, which amounts to approximately 40 parts.
These included the use of natural hemp fibres for dashboard reinforcements and recycled polypropylene on the spoilers (under the floor, under the tank, airbag, and front/rear fenders) and in the front/rear bumpers. Both models also incorporate the use of recycled polyamide in the wheel covers and the intake manifold, as well as in the fan-motor assembly.
Highlighting the Peugeot i-Cockpit
The carmaker’s popular i-Cockpit layout comprises of four elements: a small steering wheel, head-up display (HUD), high centre console, and touchscreen. And it all makes perfect sense, providing an insulated, cocooned feel to the cockpit of any Peugeot. More specifically, the HUD information is projected in hologram form close to the driver’s eye-line, promoting quicker reaction times.
The small-diameter steering wheel has been redesigned with two flats to make it easier to grip and provide the driver with improved visibility and legroom. While you can easily see the instrument cluster over the steering wheel – rather than peering through it – it does necessitate a little seat adjustment. It also requires less steering effort when parking and maneuvering around corners in town.
The reconfigurable 12.3-inch instrument cluster – positioned directly in the driver’s line of sight and above the sports steering wheel – offers five different display modes, controlled by a button on the steering wheel. The read-outs are clear and crisp.
Drive Safely in Style with a Peugeot
Peugeot has really impressed in recent years with their attention to detail, and the 2008 SUV interior is no different. Materials within the cockpit are chosen to fine quality, meaning the 2008 SUV is a superb place to spend time, whether it be behind the wheel or as a passenger.
The Peugeot 2008 SUV and every other model comes equipped with a suite of advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) technologies as standard, including stop and go function. Additionally, there is the active lane departure warning; driver attention warning; automatic adaptive headlamp main-beam; speed limit sign recognition and recommendation; adaptive cruise control with stop function (automatic gearboxes) and active blind-spot monitoring.
Additionally, using infrared technology, pedestrians and animals can be detected ahead of the vehicle and then highlighted on the 12.3-inch digital instrument display, up to 200m outside the scope of the headlights, ensuring safety even in total darkness.
Overall, it doesn’t matter if you chose a new or used Peugeot, their pioneering technology will contribute towards making your drive invigorating and exhilarating.
