Peugeot 208 (2019-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Sharp and stylish looks	Not as much fun as a Ford Fiesta
Comfortable and quiet	Only scored four out of five in Euro NCAP tests
Impressive battery-electric version	Quite pricey as a new car

Quick Summary

The second-generation Peugeot 208, launched in 2019, is a stylish and modern five-door supermini that stands out in a competitive segment. Built on a new CMP platform, it offers a choice of powertrains including an all-electric e-208. While not the largest in its class, it provides good front-row space and adequate room for children in the rear, with a 311-litre boot that expands to 1,106 litres with the rear seats folded. Its distinctive design and overhauled interior, featuring Peugeot's i-Cockpit, give it a premium feel.

On the road, the 208 is comfortable and refined, providing a smooth ride, though it's not as agile as some rivals like the Ford Fiesta. Engine options include a 1.2-litre PureTech petrol with various outputs and a 1.5-litre BlueHDi diesel, with the e-208 offering a lively 134bhp electric drivetrain. Running costs are generally low across the range, with competitive fuel economy for petrol and diesel models, and reduced servicing needs for the e-208. It offers a well-equipped interior, though the infotainment system can be slow.

Best for: Buyers prioritising distinctive style, a comfortable and refined ride, and those seeking an impressive all-electric option in the supermini segment.

Not ideal for: Drivers who prioritise ultimate agility and driving engagement (like a Ford Fiesta), or those on a very strict budget for a new car.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the 208 if: You are drawn to its distinctive looks, appreciate a comfortable and refined driving experience, or are looking for a competitive all-electric supermini option.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise the most engaging driving dynamics (like a Ford Fiesta), or if budget and warranty are your primary concerns (consider Kia Rio or Hyundai i20).

Competitive Position: The Peugeot 208 (2019-present) stands out in the supermini segment with its sharp styling and premium feel. While it may not offer the ultimate driving thrills of a Ford Fiesta, its comfortable ride, modern interior, and the availability of an impressive all-electric e-208 variant make it a strong contender. It offers good value for its upmarket presentation, though it can be pricier as a new car compared to some rivals.
