Lucky Motor Company (LMC) teamed up with French automaker Peugeot. A part of Stellantis Group, to launch a range of vehicles in Pakistan.
LMC began rolling off the Peugeot 2008 crossover in December 2021. In the same facility in Karachi, it assembles other Kia cars locally. The vehicle was launched in January & was open for booking with two variants available Active and Allure, priced at PKR 52.5 lac and PKR 58.5 lac, respectively. The Peugeot 2008 was displayed at 8 Peugeot 3S dealerships in 6 cities across Pakistan.
The difference between the two variants is the presence of 6 airbags in Allure while Active has 4. There is a chrome front grille in Allure vs a gloss grille in Active. Allure contains a 10-inch 3D cluster compared to the 10-inch Quartz instrument cluster in Active.
TEP seats are present with contrasting stitching in Allure vs fabric seats in Active. Meanwhile, the panoramic sunroof, rain-sensing wipers and cruise control fingertip steering control are all present in Allure but are not available in the Active variant.
