Specification and Features
The 2008 Urban Cross stands out from the standard Active trim with a selection of unique exterior and interior upgrades. The most noticeable change is the exclusive Emerald metallic paint finish, which is not available on other 2008 models. The special edition also receives 17-inch alloy wheels, black door mirrors, side stripes, and additional exterior detailing to give it a more striking appearance.
Inside the cabin, the Urban Cross features emerald contrast stitching, unique floor mats, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. These additions are designed to create a more upmarket and distinctive feel, setting it apart from other versions of the 2008. The enhanced specification aims to appeal to buyers seeking both style and comfort in their next small crossover.
Engine Choices and Emissions
Buyers of the 2008 Urban Cross can choose between two engines. The first option is the 1.2-litre PureTech 110 S&S petrol engine, which produces 110hp and has CO2 emissions of 108g/km. The second is the 1.6-litre BlueHDi 100 S&S diesel, offering 100hp and emitting 95g/km of CO2. Both engines are equipped with stop-start technology to help improve efficiency and reduce running costs. At launch, no automatic transmission is available with this edition, and both engines are paired with a manual gearbox.
