Style
The Peugeot 2008 Crossover Urban Cross is a special edition version of the manufacturer's best selling, crossover class, vehicle. It blends the robust, off-road, look of a 4x4 with the compact external proportions of a supermini. It is only slightly longer than the 208, in fact. The Urban Cross is distinguished via the: 17" Eridan Black alloy wheels, special badges and decals (stickers), black mirrors and branded scuff plates and mats. The interior has premium trim – that incorporates contrast stitching – plus a leather wheel and gear knob. The Urban Cross is also available with exclusive Emerald paintwork to ensure it stands out.
