A Special Model Featuring the Birthplace of the Peugeot Brand as an Icon


The Peugeot "2008 Crosscity" being released is a limited edition model that uses a compass design, symbolizing the birthplace of the Peugeot brand, with blue, the brand's color, as an accent. The exterior features a compass badge and stickers indicating the latitude and longitude of the city of Sochaux.


The interior features combination seats of Alcantara and Tep leather with a compass logo. The door grips, center console, and parts of the seats are finished in a vibrant matte blue. Furthermore, stylish features are enhanced, including a steering wheel with perforations and special stitching, a parking brake with blue accents, and a compass design repeated on the floor mats.

The powertrain is the same as the regular model: a 1.2-liter inline 3-cylinder gasoline engine producing a maximum output of 60 kW (62 ps) and a maximum torque of 118 Nm (12.0 kgm), paired with a single-clutch 5-speed ETG semi-automatic transmission. It boasts a fuel economy of 18.5 km/ℓ under the JC08 mode.
