The 208 is the latest in a line of small Peugeots that runs back through the 207, 206 and the beloved 205, cars that kept the company solvent and gave France a supply of genuinely fun hatchbacks. The current, second-generation 208 arrived in 2019 and won European Car of the Year for 2020, helped by sharp styling, fang-like daytime running lights and a cabin that felt a class above. It has since ranked among Europe's best-selling cars, and is built in Spain, Slovakia and Morocco, among other places.
From the start the 208 was offered with petrol, diesel and fully electric power on a shared platform, so buyers could choose an E-208 without settling for a different-looking car. The interior uses Peugeot's i-Cockpit, with a small steering wheel and raised digital instruments. A 2023 update brought a three-claw lighting signature and more electric range. Reviewers praise its looks, comfort and grown-up feel, while noting a tight rear seat and that the i-Cockpit does not suit every driver.
The 208 competes with the Renault Clio, Volkswagen Polo, Toyota Yaris, Skoda Fabia, Hyundai i20 and its own cousins, the Opel Corsa and Citroen C3. The headline addition is the E-208 GTi, an electric hot hatch that revives the badge made famous by the 205, alongside a revised petrol engine family after criticism of the old PureTech three-cylinder. Coverage follows those launches, recalls, pricing, sales rankings and the eventual third-generation car.
