Design Language

Highlighting the front fascia of the car, crossover’s supermini version shows off the updated lion badge. Three elongated vertical light claws and distinctive light signature extends seamlessly into the full-LED headlights, establishing a visual link with the vertical bars positioned in the bumper. The grille showcases a revised pattern and features body-colored accents, resulting in a cohesive integration with the bumper. This unique front-light attribute is now incorporated into all versions of the new 208.

The same face design was first introduced in 9X8 Hypercar which is now revised in 508 and 508 SW. Moreover, the car also carries fresh two-tone 16- and 17-inch diamond cut alloy wheels and X-shaped center cap with new corporate logo.

Interior

Coming inside the cabin, the Peugeot 208 incorporates the ultra-modern interior in its segment thanks to i-Cockpit. Opulent black Alcantara upholstery laced with Adamite Green stitching (optional in GT variant) gives it an ostensible appearance. Standard 10-inch touchscreen and same size digital instrument cluster with a new design are also the prominent features inside the car.

Additional updates can be found in the 208 GT, such as the introduction of new ambient lighting. The versions equipped with a six-speed manual transmission have received a revised gearshift knob. However, the automatic models continue to feature the same selector that Peugeot has been implementing inside the car since early 2022.

The steering wheel has been updated to incorporate the new logo, and its badge has also been refreshed. As for the GT variant, it now offers optional black Alcantara upholstery with Adamite Green stitching, along with Adamite Green accents on the armrests and dashboard.

Power

Regarding the engine options, the entry-level version of the 208 is equipped with a 1.2-liter, three-cylinder engine that delivers 75 horsepower to the front wheels through a five-speed manual transmission. The more powerful variant offers 100 horsepower and is paired with a six-speed manual transmission. If you opt for the 208 with a mild-hybrid engine, available in either 100 or 136 horsepower, it will come with a six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

The E-208 model is powered by an electric motor that delivers 156 horsepower. It is equipped with a 51-kWh battery pack, providing enough energy for a range of 249 miles (400 kilometers) in the WLTP combined cycle.

The E-208 supports charging at a rate of 100 kW, allowing for a quick charge time of less than 25 minutes to go from 20 to 80 percent battery capacity. At a lower charging rate of 7.4 kW, the charging time is approximately 4 hours and 40 minutes, while at 3.2 kW, it will take around 11 hours and 10 minutes.

Peugeot is planning to make the facelifted 208 available for sale in November. Since its launch in late 2019, nearly one million units of this generation have been sold.
