Inside Future Mobility

The refreshed, French supermini turns on the style with a new look, but how much substance lies behind it? The Peugeot 208 was Europeâ€™s biggest seller in 2021 and 2022 - no small feat, it must be said.Admittedly, it dropped to fifth last year with the top spot taken by Tesla Model Y and itsÂ Renault Clio arch rivalÂ beating it to fourth. But still, itâ€™s clearly a well-liked car - and Peugeot will be hoping to build on its success with this facelifted model, launched late last year.Â Even with the longstanding top dog, the Ford Fiesta, departed and small cars generally becoming harder to justify in the boardroom, the 208 still has its work cut out. As well as the Clio, the Vauxhall Corsa, Volkswagen Polo and Hyundai i20 show thatÂ this remains a competitive field.Range at a glanceThis mid-life refresh includes introducingÂ 48V mild-hybrid models with 99bhpÂ and 134bhp.Â A conventional turbo petrol, making 99bhp, and theÂ electricÂ e-208 remain too.
