Prices and specifications for the all-new PEUGEOT 208 and the fully-electric e-208 have been released. The all-new 208 and e-208 start from £16,250 and £25,050 (after the £3,500 Plug-In Car Gran) respectively with customer deliveries starting early 2020.
The all-new 208 is the first vehicle to fulfil PEUGEOT’s new philosophy of the power of choice i.e. ‘choose your PEUGEOT, choose your powertrain’. Featuring the choice of diesel, petrol or all-electric powertrains, the all-new 208 and e-208 will be available in Active, Allure and GT Line trim levels. The zero-emission e-208 is also available in range-topping GT trim.
Standard equipment includes the new PEUGEOT i-Cockpit with a compact multifunction steering wheel, configurable head-up display, either a 7” or 10” HD colour touchscreen (according to version) and seven satin chrome ‘piano’ toggle switches. The interior environment can also be personalised with a choice of eight LED mood lighting colours. All driving information can be easily accessed through the all-new PEUGEOT 208 3D i-Cockpit cluster which is a unique system that projects all the information on different layers giving you outstanding 3D effect.
Also available is PEUGEOT Connect SOS and Assistance, programmable Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assist and Mirror Screen with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and MirrorLink. Bringing sharp design, an instinctive driving experience, uncompromising quality and class-leading levels of technology to the supermini-segment, the all-new PEUGEOT 208 gives customers a comprehensive choice of powertrains to suit their needs.
PEUGEOT’s first new generation, 100% electric vehicle, the e-208 uses a 50kWh battery and 136hp electric motor to provide a 211 mile range from a full charge under the WLTP testing.
David Peel, Managing Director of PEUGEOT UK, said: “The all-new PEUGEOT 208 represents the first step in PEUGEOT’s vision of providing our customers with the ‘power of choice’ i.e. ‘choose your PEUGEOT, choose your powertrain.’ With class-leading levels of technology, sharp styling and a distinctive driving experience, we expect the all-new 208 and the all-new e-208 to challenge the norm in this sector of the market.”

All e-208 models come with three driving modes – Sport, Normal and Eco – and support rapid charging up to 100kWh, with an 80% charge taking just 30 minutes. The e-208 also features unique styling cues to set the electric model apart, including a body coloured chequered front grille, a bespoke ‘e’ monogram on the C-pillar and a dichroic Lion, which changes colour from different angles.
PEUGEOT recommend using a wallbox charger, so the all-new e-208 comes with a Mode 3 Type 2 cable as standard, which will charge the vehicle in 7.5 hours with a 7kW charging point. PEUGEOT customers can also download the MyPeugeot app, which will allow them to manage their vehicle charge remotely, precondition the temperature of the vehicle and receive ‘e-Coaching’ on how to benefit most from their vehicle. PEUGEOT will provide a ‘Charging Pass’ to their customers which enables them to access certain UK public charging points through a free subscription for an introductory period.
