When you think of 2008, what comes to mind? The Beijing Olympics? The global financial crisis? Barack Obama? It could be anything as long as it is associated with the memorable events of the year 2008. However, in the Peugeot catalog, there is a car not made in a year 2008. It's a car that was named the 2008. THE PEUGEOT 2008. Here in Gran Turismo 7, I got the chance to drive one, the second-generation Peugeot 2008.
Launched in 2020, the second-generation Peugeot 2008 eschews its sleek looks that draw resemblance to the 208 for a sleeker design that is utterly mistaken for its big brother, the 3008. The new model offers a choice of a 1.2 petrol and a 1.5 diesel engine, as well as the first ever electric powertrain that can go up to 320km on one full charge according to WLTP standards. The model featured in Gran Turismo 7 is the one with the 1.2L petrol engine with 129HP of power and 170ft-lb of torque, mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox.
Like its predecessor, the second-generation 2008 is front-wheel drive only by default, but the Advanced Grip Control makes it more capable on either tarmac, gravel, or snow.
To test out the capabilities of the FF-only Peugeot compact crossover, I went to Brands Hatch for a one-lap time attack. It may not be as exciting as such, but I need to keep it active. Let's roll the tape.
My performance in 2008 at Brands Hatch resulted in a time of 2m05.466s. While it may not be particularly exciting, it clearly demonstrates what this front-wheel-drive Peugeot compact SUV is capable of.
As I noted some time ago during my first encounter with the second-generation Peugeot 2008, it's a modern crossover that may not be worth the wait for everyone, but it's certainly worth considering for those seeking space, technology, eco-friendliness, performance, and versatility. Its inclusion in Gran Turismo 7 may also not be worth the wait, but it’s definitely worth a try.
A Peugeot crossover named after the year the Beijing Olympics took place, the world financial crisis struck, and Barack Obama became US President... Just don't call it a 2008 Model Year Peugeot car. Just call it the Peugeot 2008. That's it.
The final battle kicks off with the first chapter of the Kimetsu no Yaiba: Mugen Jyo-hen trilogy, which aims to achieve the same level of success as the original Star Wars trilogy. Tanjiro Kamado and his friends are ready to face the seemingly impossible challenges ahead.
Kimetsu no Yaiba: Mugen Jyohen Chapter I

This truly marks the beginning of an all-or-nothing final gambit. From the start to the gripping cliffhanger, no character is safe from some of the most explosive moments this film offers. The thrilling fight scenes, heart-wrenching tragedies, and classic "Demon Slayer" moments are what made the first "Infinity Castle arc" movie a must-watch of the summer. After experiencing the first film from the beginning to the cliffhanger scene, audiences will find this movie to be a conversation starter that’s impossible to ignore.
The final battle begins. Get your breathing exercises ready because nothing can prepare you for the start of the impossible mission.
