new PEUGEOT E-208
London, 06 July, 2023, (Oilandgaspress) 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.
All new 208 models feature the all-new front end, pushing the 208 into the new era of PEUGEOT design, with the brand’s new logo at its centre.
The grille features an evolving body-coloured pattern which blends into the bumper. This design reflects the electrification of the range and gives the new E-208 greater poise. The grille and body are no longer compartmentalised, but form a whole, increasing visual robustness, efficiency and modernity.
The new 208s equipped with the six-speed manual transmission have a new gearshift knob for improved ergonomics. The new 208s with automatic transmission have kept the elegant, practical and discrete selector introduced in Spring 2022.
EXCELLENCE: electrification in our genes and connectivity taken to a new level
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).
New hybrid powertrains

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.
