标致在四年前发布了其最小跨界车，几个月前发布了其改款车型，但现在第二代车型已经开始测试了。谍照记者近日在西班牙拍到了其原型车，该车进行了重度伪装以掩盖其设计，预计新车外观与3008和5008将有很多共同之处。从侧面第三车窗看，它的尺寸比现行版更大。由此判断，新车的车身尺寸大于上一代车型。虽然车身进行了伪装，但它的线条更简洁，同时拿掉了车顶行李架以便与主流设计相契合。由于车身更大，因此内部空间也将更宽敞，增加的轴距将主要留给后排乘客，增加腿部空间。至于内部结构，该车将与下月底雪铁龙C3毕加索和欧宝Meriva有很多共同之处。这三款车将共享一系列标致雪铁龙开发的三缸和四缸涡轮增压引擎。在下月开幕的巴黎车展上，C3毕加索和Meriva将率先发布，随后下一代2008将作为2018款车型与明年下半年发布。

 

2018 Peugeot 2008 caught on camera

Peugeot’s smallest crossover has only been around for less than four years, with a facelift introduced several months ago, but a second generation is already in the testing phase. The prototype was spotted somewhere in Spain and had a significant amount of camouflage to hide a design which will likely have a lot in common with the all-new 3008 and 5008, now both true crossovers.

 

Looking at the size of the third-side windows, the glass appears to be a tad bigger than on the current model and usually in such cases it means an increase in size from one generation to another. Although it’s disguised, we can already notice the new 2008 will adopt a cleaner appearance and it will eschew those tall roof rails in favor of a more streamlined design.

 

By making it bigger on the outside, it means the cabin will also become roomier and should bring extra rear legroom as a result of what will likely be a stretched wheelbase.

 

As far as the underpinnings are concerned, the new 2008 is going to have a lot in common with the next-gen Citroen C3 Picasso and the Opel Meriva. The trio is expected to use an assortment of PSA-developed three- and four-cylinder turbocharged engines.

 

The C3 Picasso and Meriva will be out first and we will likely see the two at the Paris Motor Show next month, with the next 2008 to arrive in the second half of 2017 as a 2018MY.
