Impressive line-up
Three trim levels are available for the New 208 and e-208 models: ACTIVE, ALLURE and GT. As standard, all trim variants have a 10-inch central touchscreen and front and rear light signatures. The ALLURE trim adds rear parking assistance, electrically folding door mirrors and PEUGEOT i-Connect technology.
The top-level GT trim also features a HD reversing parking camera, PEUGEOT Open & Go keyless entry and start, eight-colour customisable interior ambient lighting and full LED headlights.
Petrol and electric power for ultimate performance
The 208 is available with two efficient PEUGEOT petrol engines: the PureTech 75 with a five-speed manual gearbox and the PureTech 100 with a six-speed manual gearbox. And for the first time, there are now also two new 48v hybrid powertrains for drivers to choose from. The HYBRID 100 and HYBRID 136 powertrains feature a battery that recharges while driving, meaning there’s 15% lower fuel consumption and the possibility to drive in 100% zero-emission electric mode more than 50% of the time.
The e-208, meanwhile, has a new 115kW electric motor and 51kWh battery that combined can achieve up to 248 miles between charges. Adding to that, it’s also claimed that a 20–80% charge is estimated to take under 25 minutes when using a 100kW rapid charger.
