Peugeot e-208

Model reviewed: e-208 Allure
“The Peugeot e-208 is a fantastic supermini, offering style and a fun driving experience in equal measure. With its 217-mile range and well-mannered motorway character, it’s genuinely capable of being used on longer journeys. Its size means it’s not the most practical car in the world, but if you’re looking for a car in this segment, the e-208 should be high on your shopping list.”

“Cosmetic upgrades may give the Peugeot e-208 fresh appeal, particularly with existing customers being traded into one. But the small EV market has moved faster than this car’s development. It’s sound enough to drive, it has a funky (if cramped) cabin, and the extra range will come in handy for anyone who regularly drives out of town. But it’s tough to overlook pricing that seems to start where several capable rivals top out.”

“The Peugeot e-208 comes with a strident battery, which is located evenly under the floor rather than behind the rear seats to help achieve a balanced weight distribution and ensure interior space isn’t compromised.”

“It’s all so serene. The pillow-soft ride on 16-inch wheels intensifies this feeling of wellbeing, and there’s plenty of grip in corners, but the steering feels a little too light and at times inconsistently weighted as you push through a turn.”

“With its compact package, peppy take-off from traffic lights and zero-emissions capability, the Peugeot e-208 should feel is at home in the city. But with its comfy, civilised air at motorway speeds and 200-odd miles of range, it won’t be stuck there.”

“The Peugeot e-208 looks just as fantastic inside and out as petrol and diesel 208s and is great to drive. It’s pricey in comparison, though, and still tight in the back.”

“The Peugeot e-208 looks just as stylish inside and out as its conventional powered siblings, and is good fun to drive but its niggling frustrations put it on a par with its very close cousin – the Corsa-e.”
