More aggressive face
From a style point of view, the city car adopts a more attractive look. At the front, in addition to the model name which benefits from a new typography, the 208 is entitled to a new light signature in the form of ” Three claws » integrated into the glossy black inserts of the shield. For its part, the grille sports a scalable frame in body color and houses the brand’s new logo.
While at the rear, the changes concern the light signature which becomes horizontal, the monogram ” PEUGEOT » modernized and the disappearance of the logo of the “ Lion » from the tailgate.
More technology
In the cabin, the main improvements have benefited the PEUGEOT i-Cockpit. The compact steering wheel thus features the brand’s new logo, while the digital and customizable instrumentation of 10 inches is entitled to a new design.
Added to this is the size of the touchscreen, which now measures 10 inches on all trims, compared to 7 inches previously. The latter is wirelessly compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay and revolves around the latest generation of the infotainment system PEUGEOT i-Connect which is responsive and fluid like a Smartphone.
It should also be noted that the 208 has renewed the Toggles Switches located under the screen and which act as shortcuts. A good point for ergonomics! The city car has also retained its numerous storage spaces and has at the same time increased the number of USB-A and USB-C ports which are now 4 in total. As for the finish, it progresses significantly on this version thanks to the more quality fabrics.
In terms of equipment, the vehicle offers:
- Keyless access and starting
- Front/rear parking assistance
- The HD reversing camera
- The car air conditioning.
- The 15W wireless charger
- The electric parking brake
- 8-color mood lighting
- The panoramic roof
Since the PEUGEOT 208 has kept the same dimensions of its predecessor, the habitability has remained identical. Passengers in the rear thus have a correct knee space and a good headroom. For its part, the volume of the trunk is 309 litres and thus places itself in the low average of the segment.
Always a pleasure behind the wheel
On the road, this 208 has retained the dynamic behavior which characterizes PEUGEOT models. In addition to being comfortable, the vehicle has good grip on the road while being very maneuverable, especially on its favorite playground, namely the city. In addition, the vehicle offers several driving modes (“ Eco », « Normal » et « Sport » ).
And in terms of driving aids, the newcomer offers, among other things:
- Lane keeping assistance
