This snazzy little hatchback is small and neat from the outside but houses a roomy cabin for driver and passengers, as well as offering a smooth ride for just about any drive. It’s also packed full of technical innovation under the bonnet and in the driver’s seat. It replaces the 20 Series and does so with style and agility, delivering a car that’s perfect for the urban and motorway driver alike.
Agile. This is the one word that perfectly sums up the Peugeot 208 hatchback, and you’ll notice this particularly as you navigate narrow streets or tight corners, but it’s weighty enough to feel robust on the motorways, too. This is a car begging to be driven and we’d like to invite you to take it for a test drive out of our Motherwell dealership. When it comes to performance the 208 is excellent, with the top-of-the-range 1.6-litre VTi Ice Velvet Special Edition three-door delivering a top speed of 118mph and acceleration which delivers 0-60mph in less than 10.9 seconds. Alloys also come as standard in this model. For a slightly tamer ride, have a look at the 1.4-litre VTi Allure which will give you 50.4 MPG and emit just 129g/km of CO2.
It has been built to be stylish and it has succeeded – we think it’s one of the best-looking hatchbacks on the market. Inside the regenerated 20 Series has a multi-function touch-screen that looks good and is intuitive, while outside it’s unmistakably Peugeot with smooth lines, fall-away back and a short bonnet - all of which give it a sporty, contemporary look.
There are plenty of engine options to choose from, each one built for a slightly different purpose. Choose the 1.2-litre engine for city driving, as it gives you enough power to zip around the streets without compromising on impressive fuel efficiency and low CO2 emissions. Equally, if you want power and speed, the 1.6-litre engines give you that in abundance and handles well on all road types and in all weather conditions.
