Peugeot 208: Modern Supermini, Petrol or Electric

The 208 is Peugeot's current supermini, sold with conventional engines or as the fully electric e-208.

The current-generation Peugeot 208 modernized the brand's small-car formula with sharper styling, claw-like LED lighting signatures, and the brand's small-diameter i-Cockpit steering wheel that sits below the digital instrument display.

Buyers can choose between efficient petrol engines or the e-208, a fully electric variant that shares its body and interior with the combustion model, letting Peugeot offer both options from the same production line.

Inside, the 208 punches above its class with upscale material choices and a driving position that feels distinctly different from mainstream rivals, part of why it has become one of Peugeot's most important global sellers.
