2020 PEUGEOT 208 VS PEUGEOT E-208 - IS THE NEW EV BETTER THAN PETROL AND DIESEL?

EV Channels Review

The 2020 Peugeot 208 and its electric counterpart, the e-208, are reviewed, highlighting significant design advancements over the predecessor. The reviewer praises the striking, modern styling and improved driving position, though notes the infotainment system may require some adjustment. While the petrol and diesel variants offer competent performance, particularly the 100hp petrol as a compromise, they are described as evolutionary rather than revolutionary. The electric e-208, however, is presented as the "full realization" of the platform, with its added weight enhancing the driving dynamics and making the car feel more cohesive. Real-world range for the e-208 is estimated to exceed 200 miles even under hard driving. Despite the higher cost, the e-208 is the reviewer's definitive pick for its modern, forward-thinking approach and superior driving experience, though all variants are recommended for a test drive.
