ALL-NEW PEUGEOT 208 AND PEUGEOT e-208
PEUGEOT will be unveiling the all-new PEUGEOT 208 model, which will be available with a choice of petrol and diesel powertrains along with a zero emission all-electric derivative, the all-new PEUGEOT e-208.
Powered by a 100 kW motor, the all-new PEUGEOT e-208 will be the first electric model available from PEUGEOT’s new electric range. The 5-door hatchback features a 50kWh battery, positioned under the floor to maintain interior space, which provides a range of up to 211 miles (WLTP) from a full charge.
The all-new PEUGEOT e-208 comes with three driving modes: Eco, to optimise range, Normal, tuned for comfort, and Sport, which puts the emphasis on performance. Customers can choose from a range of charging methods for the all-new PEUGEOT e-208, including 100 kW rapid charging, capable of 80% charge in 30 minutes.
Petrol and diesel powertrain variants of the all-new PEUGEOT 208 are also designed to be more environmentally friendly. Built on the latest generation CMP platform, the all-new PEUGEOT 208 is 30kg lighter than before and comes with Euro6d petrol and diesel engines, meeting the latest EU emissions standards. The all-new PEUGEOT 208 petrol versions come with the option of PureTech 75, 100 and 130 engines.
The all-new PEUGEOT 208 models bring sporty and irresistible styling to the B sector, designed with features including a full LED three-claw light signature on the front and rear, and a Dichroic colour changing Lion brandished on the front of the electric version.
Inside, the all-new PEUGEOT 208 models feature the latest jump-in next generation in-car technology, including the new PEUGEOT 3D i-Cockpit® and a range of Drive Assist features prioritising the driver’s safety and comfort, including Active Blind Spot Monitoring and Automatic Emergency Brake Assist.
