Peugeot’s slogans say Motion & e-Motion, because this all-new 208 is being launched in all types of engines simultaneously; that’s petrol, diesel, and pure EV. Of course, this means the car has been designed from scratch to accommodate every iteration on the shared production line. As part of the PSA Group the e-208 shares it’s chassis and main components with the range-topping DS Crossback e-tense and also the forthcoming Vauxhall Corsa-e.
Jonny drives the slick looking 5-door only e-208 in Portugal in top spec GT trim. All electric models come with a 211-mile WLTP range, 50kWh watercooled battery, 100kW (136hp) motor and 0-62mph (100km) time of 8.1 seconds. The e-208 can rapid charge up to 100kW DC, meaning 0-80% in less than 30 minutes. It also is available with an optional 11kW onboard charger. Prices will start in the UK from £25,050 OTR making it arch-rival to Renault’s Zoe, the forthcoming Mini-e and well established Nissan Leaf.
