Peugeot's (http://www.autoblog.com/category/peugeot) naming convention might not be all that exciting, but it does come up with some tantalizing vehicle designs. What we see here is the 2012 Peugeot 2008 Concept, which is going into production next year (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/09/14/peugeot-confirms-2008-concept-headed-for-production-next-year/). The new subcompact crossover will slot below the Peugeot 3008 CUV.
As we saw in the stock photos Peugeot released a couple weeks ago, the biggest difference between the 2088 Concept and the Urban Crossover Concept (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/04/24/peugeot-urban-crossover-concept-barges-in-to-autochina/) seen earlier in the year is the stepped roof. This feature will likely maximize interior space for the small utility vehicle, but we still haven't seen any of the concept's interior bits.
The 2008 concept is powered by a 1.2-liter three-cylinder engine with direct injection and a turbocharger, and we'd expect to see the same setup under the hood of the production model.
