After establishing a solid foothold in the country, Peugeot Lucky Motor Corporation (PLMC) has launched an official Pakistani website and Facebook page. While the Facebook page doesn’t yet unveil the auto company’s plans for the Pakistani market, the website hints at some great news.

According to the experts who studied the PLMC Pakistan website, the auto manufacturers plan to debut three of their vehicles in Pakistan. The website has also revealed some exciting details about the Peugeot vehicles making their way to the country’s auto market.

The images on the front and center of the official PLMC Pakistan website confirm the arrival of the cars. However, the automaker hasn’t unveiled what date the Peugeot vehicles will make a debut in Pakistan.

Here are the three PLMC vehicles coming to Pakistan soon:

Peugeot 2008

The Peugeot 2008 is a subcompact crossover SUV that is likely to compete against Lucky Motor Corporation’s (LMC) own Kia Stonic and the MG ZS.

Engine details of the vehicle

The Peugeot 2008 will be powered by a 1.2-liter turbocharged 3-cylinder petrol engine that sends 131 horsepower (hp) and 220 Newton-meters (Nm) of torque to the front wheels via a 6-speed automatic transmission.

Features of the vehicle

One of the most appealing elements of a modern Peugeot is its futuristic interior. The 2008 SUV will be equipped with Peugeot’s brand new 3D i-Cockpit, which includes several high-tech amenities such as:

• a 7″ HD capacitive touchscreen
• the configurable head-up instrument panel
• keyless entry and start
• multiple drive modes

The Peugeot 2008 will also flaunt many modern features like:

• lane-keeping assist
• electronic stability programming (ESP)
• drowsiness detection
• road sign
• speed limit recognition and recommendation
• 180-degree camera
• overhead vehicle view

Expert opinion of the vehicle

According to car experts, the Peugeot 2008 will likely be a fierce contender in the growing subcompact SUV market of Pakistan.

Peugeot 3008

The Peugeot 3008 is a compact crossover SUV that competes against the likes of the Hyundai Tucson, the MG HS, the Proton X70, the DFSK Glory, and the Kia Sportage.

Engine details of the vehicle

For the Pakistani market, the SUV will feature a 1.6-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder petrol engine that makes 162 hp and 240 Nm of torque and sends all of it to the front wheels or all four wheels (depending on the variant) via a 6-speed automatic transmission. The lineup is also likely to include a hybrid version of the 3008 SUV that is more powerful and fuel-efficient.

Features of the vehicle

The Peugeot 3008 SUV is fitted with the i-Cockpit that also includes the same technology and features as the 2008 SUV, with the addition of:

• a more up-market Focal 10-speaker sound system
• a larger infotainment unit with Andriod Auto and Apple Carplay
• an inboard navigation system that informs of various traffic zones

• parking spaces

The Peugeot 3008 is equipped with all the same modern safety features found in the 2008 vehicle, with the addition of:

• a night-vision camera
• autonomous emergency braking
• mild-offroad modes as a part of the Advanced Grip Control (AGC) feature (All-Wheel Drive variants only)
• Hill-Descent Control (HDC)
• Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

Expert opinion of the vehicle

Experts believe that the Peugeot 3008 will be the ideal candidate of the upper echelon of compact crossover SUVs in the Pakistani market, depending on its price.

Peugeot 5008

Peugeot looks all geared up to fight in the heavyweight category with its 5008 SUV, a midsize 7-seater crossover SUV that will take on the Kia Sorento and the Toyota Fortuner.

Engine details of the vehicle

The SUV will feature the same powertrain as the 3008 with a 1.6-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder petrol engine that makes 162 hp and 240 Nm of torque and sends it to the front wheels or all four wheels (depending on the variant) via a 6-speed automatic transmission.

Features of the vehicle

Again, like the smaller Peugeot SUVs, the 5008 is also fitted with the same convenience features, with the addition of:

• 7 passenger seats
• a new 10″ HD central touchscreen
• a 12.3″ head-up digital instrument panel
• heated, ventilated, and massaging front seats
• multi-zone climate vents for rear-seat comfort

The safety features are also the same, with the addition of:

• a 360-degree camera
• autonomous emergency braking
• parking assist
• semi-autonomous driving capability
• a ‘MyPeugeot’ App configurability that aids in monitoring vehicle location, event data, maintenance schedule, etc.

Expert opinion of the vehicle

According to experts, the Peugeot 5008 is quite possibly a more equipped vehicle in com which gives it an edge over its competition in the Pakistani market.
