Peugeot e-208 history

Although there have been two generations of regular 208 (and many predecessors), the e-208 is still a fairly new addition.

> Peugeot e-208 (2019) - Based on the second-generation 208, electric power was added in 2019

> Facelifted Peugeot e-208 (2023) - Better standard equipment, redesigned front end and new EV option (bigger battery and more powerful motor)

What features does the Peugeot e-208 have?

Even entry-level models come with a seven-inch touchscreen (10 inches from 2023 onwards) with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support.

Rear parking sensors are also standard across the range, but you can get front parking sensors and a reversing camera on higher trim levels.

Sporty GT models offer cosmetic upgrades such as more aggressive styling, a bigger touchscreen and a 3D-effect instrument cluster.

Is the Peugeot e-208 reliable?

The Peugeot e-208 shares parts with other Vauxhall, Citroen and DS cars, plus its electric motor uses fewer moving parts than a conventional engine, so there’s less to go wrong.

There’s a three-year vehicle warranty, and the Peugeot e-208’s battery also gets a separate eight-year/100,000-mile warranty.

How much does the Peugeot e-208 cost to run?

How much you pay for electricity varies by provider and whether you’re at home or using a public charging point. Electric cars do still tend to be a lot cheaper to run than petrol and diesel models.

Depending on the configuration, a used Peugeot e-208 for sale will be around insurance groups 26-31.

Who is the Peugeot e-208 suitable for?

A used Peugeot e-208 for sale carries a lot of appeal, making it a great choice for solo drivers, growing families with younger children and even retirees.

Even in its most basic configuration, it stacks up well against rivals like the Vauxhall Corsa-e (which later became the Vauxhall Corsa Electric), Renault Zoe and the newer BYD Dolphin.
