Diesel or electric powertrain? Your choice.
The new 208 is available from launch with a choice of 3 petrol powertrains (1.2 litre 75bhp S&S manual, 1.2 litre 100bhp S&S manual or 8-speed automatic and 1.2 litre 130bhp S&S 8-speed automatic) and a 1.5 BlueHDi diesel 100bhp S&S manual, each compliant with the latest stringent EURO 6 emissions controls.
REDUCED EMISSIONS
Built on PEUGEOT’s new common modular production platform, CO2 emissions are reduced through weight reduction (30 kg lighter), improved aerodynamics and reduced roll resistance. The platform also provides for greater acoustic and thermal comfort on board and lower vibration levels.
The new PEUGEOT e-208 offers a lively, stimulating driving experience with its 100% electric engine, available from launch. Interior and boot-space are identical to the Internal Combustion Engine versions with the batteries distributed under the floor pan.
The 100 KW (136 bhp) electric engine develops 260 Nm of torque from 0 km/h, for instant response. With three drive modes on offer, (Eco, Normal and Sport), the e-208 delivers 0 to 100kmh in 8.1s in Sport Mode. Drive range is up to 340 km, in accordance with the latest WLTP (Worldwide harmonised Light vehicles Test Procedures) certification. The battery is guaranteed for 8 years or 160,000 km.
CHOOSE YOUR CHARGE MODE
Three charge modes are possible: via a conventional domestic socket, or for a full charge in 16 hours, using a heavy-duty Legrand® Green Up™ socket; from a Wall Box, providing a full charge in 5 hours 15 minutes using the three-phase version (11 kW) or in 8 hours for the single-phase (7.4 kW) version; using a 100kW DC public charging terminal, 80% of the charge is reached in 30 minutes.
