虽然标致目前已经有了5008七座SUV，更小的3008和入门级的2008，但这似乎还不够。因此，最近设计者绘制了一辆更小的车型合成图。这辆在标致SUV家族中定位低于2008的车型就是所谓的1008。目前并没有确切的信息表明车厂正在开发这款车，但去年夏季拍到的谍照表明这款小型跨界车还是存在的。在2010年，标致推出了HR1概念车，该车成为未来入门级跨界车的基础。最终量产版预计将基于标致雪铁龙的EMP1平台，该平台由标致、雪铁龙和东风设计师共同开发。至少有20款未来的车型将采用该平台。如果开发这款小型跨界车的成本不太高的话，就算是一款成功的车型，目前标致雪铁龙拥有欧宝和沃克斯霍尔，这意味着它已经打开了德国和英国市场。如果标致向市场推出1008（或许该车还有其他的名称），这款车将很容易进入欧洲市场，同时也了通过雪铁龙DS品牌进入中国市场。

 

Peugeot 1008 Render Imagines A Tiny Crossover With A Lion Badge

SUVs and crossovers keep dominating the world’s automotive tastes, and there’s no sign of slowing down as their hegemony continues. Stronger than even before, these high-riding vehicles are forcing automakers to abandon traditional sedan, wagon, and hatchback vehicles in their favor. Even more, some manufacturers are trying to invent new segments and sub-segments, where they can sell more new models.

 

So, imagine you are Peugeot and you badly want to offer customers more of your products. You have the 5008 seven-seat family SUV, the smaller 3008, and the entry-level 2008 crossover. But apparently that’s enough and you want to attract even the clients looking for a tiny city vehicle. And here’s what your designers think such a car should look like. The attached rendering previews a potential sub-2008 crossover by the French manufacturer, tentatively called the 1008. We don’t have a confirmation the company is working on such a high-riding vehicle, but spy photos from last summer suggested a tiny crossover could be indeed in the cards.

 

In 2010, Peugeot presented its HR1 concept，which could serve as a foundation for the future entry-level crossover. A production vehicle could be based on PSA’s EMP1 platform, developed in cooperation between Peugeot, Citroen, and Dongfeng engineers. The architecture will underpin at least 20 upcoming models from the French conglomerate.

 

A pint-sized crossover would definitely make a successful business case if the development costs are not extremely high. PSA now also owns Opel and Vauxhall, which means the door to the German and Great Britain markets is widely open. If Peugeot launches the 1008 (or whatever name it gives the tiny crossover), PSA can easily swap the badges and successfully sell it in most of the European markets, as well as China through its Citroen and DS brands.
