Car changing is a big deal
This small hatchback is really easy on the eye, inside and out. Here’s why you should add it to your shopping list.
Although SUVs dominate the car market, there’s still an appetite for a nimble little car that also looks good. That’s what’s great about the Peugeot 208 – its sense of style, lovely interior and chuckable chassis make it a pleasure to drive.
Indeed, the 208’s style is what makes it shine. It’s small, with a squat stance and intricate detailing that makes it look really glitzy even as a low-spec model. The front is dominated by Peugeot’s distinctive ‘three-claw’ LED daytime running lights, the line of which continues up into the headlights – you get a similar effect at the rear.
Peugeot 208 deals: save over £5,500*
The Peugeot 208 usually starts from £24,155, but through Carwow you can get it for £19,292. This makes it £2,000 cheaper than a Toyota Yaris Hybrid.
The biggest savings can be found on the GT model, with £5,529 off at the time of writing. This model comes with 17-inch alloy wheels, a 10-inch touchscreen with connected satellite navigation and TomTom traffic updates, and blind-spot monitoring.
Its entry-level car comes with a 1.2-litre petrol engine with a six-speed manual gearbox, or you can have a 1.2-litre hybrid automatic with two power outputs. Whichever you choose, you can expect good efficiency and a really nice refined drive. The 208 is comfortable on the motorway, feels nimble around town and can even be quite fun on a twisting back road.
Peugeot 208 alternatives
Here are some other options for you to consider:
Renault Clio: Has a stylish design but not as comfy as alternatives.
Toyota Yaris: Rear seat and boot space aren’t great but it has an efficient hybrid engine.
Volkswagen Polo: Entry-level petrol engine lacks punch but slick cabin feels posh.
