In a bid to remain at the forefront of automotive innovation, the eagerly anticipated 2024 Peugeot 208 and its electric counterpart, the E-208, have been officially unveiled with a striking new look and a host of updated features. These updated models are set to captivate car enthusiasts with their modern design and cutting-edge technology.
Let’s delve into the specifics of these superminis. The starting price for the base petrol-powered Peugeot 208 is a reasonable £20,400, making it an enticing option for budget-conscious drivers. Meanwhile, the all-electric E-208, which is an eco-conscious choice, begins at £32,400. If you’re already excited about these cars, you’re in luck, as they are now available for order from Peugeot retailers, with deliveries expected to commence within the coming months.
The 2024 Peugeot 208 and E-208 underwent a facelift that applies to both versions introduced in 2019. This refresh comes at the perfect time, ensuring that these vehicles remain competitive in the fiercely contested supermini segment. It’s noteworthy that they share the same CMP underpinnings as the recently updated Vauxhall Corsa, setting the stage for a compelling rivalry with other superminis like the hybrid-powered Renault Clio and the upcoming Citroen C3.
To cater to a diverse range of preferences, the 208 lineup has been organized into three primary trim levels: Active, Allure, and GT. In addition, there is a limited-run E-Style model exclusively available with the E-208. Each of these models features unique equipment levels that have been fine-tuned to enhance the driving experience. Notably, the mid-spec Allure models come at a premium of £1,650 over the base Active, while the GT variant commands an additional £2,200. Moreover, the introduction of automatic-only mild-hybrid models adds further choices, with a price point £1,800 higher than their 99bhp petrol counterparts.
Stepping inside the 208, Active variant buyers will appreciate the analogue instrument cluster complete with a 3.5-inch color display. On the other hand, Allure and GT editions boast a generous 10-inch digital screen that adds a high-tech touch to the interior. The GT goes even further by offering a 3D display as standard, allowing drivers to personalize the layout with a variety of colors and information. Across all models, a substantial upgrade comes in the form of a 10-inch central touchscreen, replacing the older seven-inch unit, elevating the driving experience to a new level of sophistication.
