NEW E-208 REVEALED
Added: 07 July 2023
The 208 was the best-selling car in Europe in 2022 and is an iconic model in the PEUGEOT range.
Now it is taking on a whole new dimension. The 208 is being refreshed, becoming even more
irresistible thanks to its a 100% electric version with a range of 400 km, its reinvented design,
cutting-edge technologies and driving pleasure along with new powertrains.
The new PEUGEOT 208 delivers:
• More Allure with an irresistible sporty look, a feline stance and the new, more modern,
PEUGEOT light signature.
• More Emotion, with a more digital and technological PEUGEOT i-Cockpit® that boosts driving
pleasure.
• More Excellence with electrification in its genes and a new E-208, offering a range of 400
km (under approval),new HYBRID 100 and HYBRID 136 engines and the latest generation of
PEUGEOT infotainment systems.
As the heir to nine generations of PEUGEOT city cars, the 208 has enjoyed uninterrupted success
since its launch at the end of 2019. In just over three years, nearly 1,000 000 units of the 208 have
been produced worldwide. In 2021 and 2022, the PEUGEOT 208 was the best-selling car in Europe
(and in France), all segments combined.
This success is due in no small part to the success of the E-208. In 2022, the E-208 became Europe's
best-selling electric car in the B segment. In France last year, it was even the best-selling electric
car across all segments.
The new PEUGEOT E-208 will go on sale in November 2023.
The range will be based on three versions - ALLURE, ACTIVE, GT - and six powertrains, including the
new 115 kW/156 bhp all-electric motor, offering a range of 400 km (WLTP combined cycle under
approval) and the new HYBRID 100 and HYBRID 136.
Updating an icon is never easy. The challenge facing PEUGEOT's designers was clear how to
deliver a new level of modernity and a new edge to the 208 while protecting the distinctive,
irresistible allure that has made it such a success...
MATTHIAS HOSSANN, PEUGEOT DESIGN DIRECTOR: "The PEUGEOT design team enthusiastically
tackled the challenge presented by the new 208. We wanted to further assert its already strong
personality, without losing the overall spirit of its design. The new front end with the new PEUGEOT light
signature and, at the rear, the reinvented three-claw lights have given the design a fresh look and a more
feline stance, while keeping the sculpted and athletic silhouette that customers love. “
The new E-208 broadens its playing field by taking a major step forward in terms of electrification
and connectivity. Its new 100% electric powertrain, with a range of 400km (under approval), and
its new hybrid powertrains provide new opportunities
• The new E-208 offers even more: a range of 400 km
The new E-208 offers a 115kW/156bhp all-electric engine, combined with a 51kWh battery, providing
a range of 400km (WLTP combined cycle under approval).
Two types of on-board chargers are available to suit all uses and charging solutions: as standard, a
7.4kW single-phase charger and, as an option, an 11kW three-phase charger.
Estimated recharge times from 20% to 80% are less than 25 minutes from a fast charger (100kW), 4
hours 40 minutes from a Wallbox (7.4 kW) and 11 hours 10 minutes from a reinforced socket (3.2kW).

For customers looking for their first taste of electrification, the new 208 offers two new 48V HYBRID
powertrains from PEUGEOT, comprising a latest-generation PureTech 100bhp and 136bhp petrol

motor.
Thanks to a battery that recharges while driving, this technology offers extra torque at low revs and
up to 15% lower fuel consumption. In urban driving, the new 208 HYBRID 100 and HYBRID 136 can
operate more than 50% of the time in 100% zero-emission electric mode.

particularly economical and efficient engines:
