ALL-NEW PEUGEOT 208 REVIEW WITH EV PEUGEOT E-208 GT

EV Channels Review

The Peugeot e-208 GT, reviewed here at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show, presents a significant step forward for Peugeot's compact offering, particularly with its fully electric variant. The reviewer highlights the striking new design, which successfully blends a fun, dynamic character with stylish, modern aesthetics, drawing inspiration from the larger 508. Interior design is equally bold, featuring a youthful and fresh approach with innovative digital displays and unique material choices, though some elements might be polarizing. Practicality is addressed, with reasonable rear-seat space and a usable boot, impressive given the battery integration. The electric powertrain, featuring a 50 kWh battery and 100 kW motor, offers competitive performance, comparable to the Nissan Leaf. While the reviewer expresses minor reservations about contrasting color accents and the piano black finish's practicality, the overall impression is highly positive, positioning the e-208 GT as a potentially mass-market, exciting, and fresh proposition for the electric vehicle segment.
