NEW 2025 PEUGEOT E-208 | I DROVE THIS CAR THE LENGTH OF THE COUNTRY TO SEE IF IT'S GOOD

EV Channels Review

Jasper Bruce Wright of Buckle Up provides a comprehensive review of the facelifted Peugeot E-208, driving it the length of the country to assess its real-world usability. He praises the car's refreshed styling, particularly the new front-end design with its 'claw mark' lights and the vibrant 'Agra Yellow' paint. Inside, the GT trim impresses with comfortable seats, a massage function for the driver, and a well-integrated infotainment system with physical shortcut buttons. The reviewer highlights the surprisingly good material quality and the practical, albeit compact, boot space. Dynamically, the E-208 is commended for disguising its weight effectively, offering a comfortable ride and engaging handling, especially in Sport mode. The 156 PS GT model delivers brisk acceleration, and the reviewer achieved a real-world range of approximately 230 miles in mixed driving, with rapid charging capabilities (30 minutes to 80% at 100kW). Key criticisms include the limited rear-seat space for taller passengers and the clunky placement of cruise control buttons. Despite these minor drawbacks, the reviewer offers a wholehearted recommendation, deeming the E-208 a highly usable and enjoyable electric supermini.
