The combustion version comes equipped with a 1.0 turbo engine with up to 130 hp, already known for its efficiency. The electric version, named E-2008, is powered by a 158hp engine and a 54kWh battery, guaranteeing competitive autonomy.
The design of the Peugeot 2008 has received a significant update. The front grille with three-dimensional elements and the modern optical assembly give the crossover a sophisticated and dynamic appearance.
Manufactured at the El Palomar plant in Argentina, this launch strengthens Peugeot's presence in the compact SUV segment, meeting the expectations of the most demanding consumers.
Chevrolet Blazer EV: the future of electric SUVs
Chevrolet enters the electric SUV market with the EV Blazer, replacement for the Bolt. This new model stands out for its futuristic design and bold lines. The striking front end, with LED headlights connected to an illuminated grille, is one of the highlights of the Blazer EV's appearance.
Offered in the sporty RS version, the Blazer EV has a 345 hp engine that promises agile and efficient driving. According to data from Inmetro, the model offers a range of up to 486 kilometers, positioning itself as an attractive option for those looking for a high-performance electric vehicle.

Restyled Volkswagen Amarok: power and modernity
Volkswagen did not stay behind and brought the Amarok restyled as one of the highlights of August. Produced in General Pacheco, Argentina, the medium pickup received a more modern and imposing look, with some similarities to the Saveiro. The headlights divided by a robust front grille, the LED bar below the hood and the redesigned bumper give the model a renewed look.
Maintaining the 6hp V3.0 258 turbodiesel engine, the Amarok continues to be one of the most powerful pickup trucks on the market. The launch promises to please both those looking for performance and those who value a differentiated design. The official debut of the restyled Amarok in Brazil will be during the traditional Festa do Peão de Barretos, between August 15th and 25th.
