Peugeot 208 II (P21)

Subcompact Hatchback

Product Gallery

Product Overview

Peugeot 208 II (chassis code P21) is an entry-level subcompact hatchback in production from 2019. It is powered by either small ICE engines that displaced 1.2 to 1.6 liters or a smaller electric motor aided by a battery capacity of 50kWh.

Compared to the original 208, the Mk2 has a more modern exterior, though Peugeot forego meaningful updates on the chassis and drivetrain. Instead, it threw in an "EV" driveline and called it a day.

Reviewer score 65% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from autocar have found:

The Peugeot 208 has a 134bhp motor and a 50kWh battery giving a WLTP range of 211 miles. The e-208 gets the same lovely interior, apart from some different functionality so you can monitor the electrical systems. The ride is reasonably well controlled (the manual thuds less than the heavier auto) and the steering is direct, so there’s a relatively agile feel to it.

Pros

Fun to drive
Decent handling

Cons

Not as agile as ICE cars
Lack of infotainment tech

Reviewers from autoexpress have found:

The Peugeot 208 sits on PSA Group’s new CMP small car platform. The platform has been designed from the outset to offer different powertrain configurations. The 208 can come with a petrol engine, a diesel engine or as a pure-electric vehicle. All are available with petrol, diesel or all-electric powertrains, with the exception of the GT Premium.

Pros

Frugal diesel engine
Comfortable to drive
Decent infotainment system

Cons

No Android Auto

Reviewer score 77% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from carmagazine have found:

The e-208 offers two levels of regenerative braking: imperceptible and barely perceptible. Lift off the accelerator, and the Peugeot gently slows, as if coasting in a combustion car. There’s plenty of grip in corners, but the steering feels a little too light and at times inconsistently weighted as you push through a turn.

Pros

Superb range
Sleek interior
Superb infotainment system

Cons

Bulky brake pedal
Pricier than rivals
