Peugeot 208

Friday, Aug 09, 2024 12:00 AM

The refreshed, French supermini turns on the style with a new look, but how much substance lies behind it? The Peugeot 208 was Europe’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 its Renault Clio arch rival beating it to fourth. But still, it’s clearly a well-liked car - and Peugeot will be hoping to build on its success with this facelifted model, launched late last year. 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 that this remains a competitive field.Range at a glanceThis mid-life refresh includes introducing 48V mild-hybrid models with 99bhp and 134bhp. A conventional turbo petrol, making 99bhp, and the electric e-208 remain too.
