Three years after its launch, the Peugeot 208 – the brand’s best-selling model – has a new look.
At the front, the new bumper presents a sharper, more precise and muscular line. The wider grille and its thicker chrome finisher are now fully integrated into the bumper, as if they were carved from solid. They suggest the quality and robustness, characteristic of a Peugeot. On higher trim levels, the stamped chrome finisher on the new “Equalizer“ grille gives it an original 3D effect. Combined with separate front foglamps, this new identity transforms the vehicle, making it wider, more dynamic and more “planted” on the road, immediately inviting the driver to take the wheel.
Finally, this style is underlined at the front by new two-tone headlamps, with black and chrome masks structuring the lamp for a sharper look, and an LED light signature, a mark of felinity and technology. These new headlamps are fitted as standard from the second trim level.
Seen from the side, the energetic and contemporary proportions of the model (reduced overhangs, contained height) and the carefully worked styling (sculpted sides, chrome window surrounds, etc.) are retained. However, the profile of the new Peugeot 208 can be distinguished by its new equipment, shown to advantage. Accordingly, new wheels are available across the range, from the 15’’ NIOBIUM wheel trims to the 17’’ Carbone wheels and the “Storm Mat “ look on the Peugeot 208 GTi, including also the 16’’ Titane alloy wheels. Different types of 16’’ and 17‘’ alloy wheels are now available as options, reinforcing their exclusiveness: painted, diamante or with innovative sequential diamante or laser engraved finishes. In addition, chrome door mirror shells are now standard from trim level 3, strengthening both the chic and sporty nature of the model.
At the rear, the lamps with their new 3D LED claws, captivate and surprise. Their very uniform look, opaline red-hot colour and very deep 3D effect make them real technological jewels. These lamps, with their three claws, symbols of Peugeot styling, are fitted across the range.
The range is expanded with the GT Line and GTi by Peugeot Sport, underlining the brand’s move up-market. More equipment is available to ease driving in urban conditions (Active City Brake, MirrorScreen, Reversing camera, Park Assist). The PureTech and BlueHDi meet the latest Euro 6 emissions standard with notably the most economical internal combustion engine in the world consuming only 3 litres per 100 km and producing just 79g of CO2 per km! The new Peugeot 208 will be on sale in Europe from June 2015.
