Peugeot 208 2020 - Car of the Year (ENG) - Test Drive and Review

Peugeot 208 is the Car of the Year 2020. It beat among others the new Renault Clio. The new Peugeot 208 and Renault Clio have similar dimensions, but as far as design is concerned, the Peugeot designers went to town. The new 208 looks modern, and aggressive, whereas the new Clio looks more like a facelift.

Starting price: 15 500 euro
As tested: 22 500 euro

Could not disagree more with this review. Just got my 208 GT Line and it's just wonderful!

[JaasonAnthonie]

Always sharp reviews with a good dose of humour! That's why I keep watching.

Living in a small italian city, the fact that the 208 is narrower than the Clio is a plus to me. My current car is about 170 cm wide and I already find some difficulties to pass through the streets of a typical italian town.

I have driven Bmw x1, Audi a5, and Peugeot 508 and I found out that Peuegot gave me the best feeling when driving it. I didn’t expect this. The inside of car, seat, dashboard, gear, everything were made so well with such a consideration and efforts. It surpassed Bmw and of course Audi(i dont understand how come Audi can be top brand with Bmw and Mercedes.)

your videos are still so much more informative than from the other journalists, that's amazing

Found you awhile ago, but love your reviews! Your english is very good and making a channel in English not being a native needs some balls. Kudos to you, Marek. Pozdrowienia z Litwy

Marek as always the most informative review! Thank you, most other reviewers are only influencers... For an honest opinion you are the best!

I rented the 208 out of curiosity some time ago, and I was positively surprised. For a small car it's very good on the highway, reasonably quiet and very stable. My fuel consumption with the 100hp engine was about 5-5.5L/100km, with mostly highway driving. The best part is that it has a real automatic transmission made by the Japanese company Aisin, not a semi-automatic or automated manual, or a DSG box.

Automatic gearbox and michelin tires will makes this car great for young drivers for example.
And like always... Great review!

Besides outside look, everything is much better in Clio V. Renault wiped out whole competition with new Clio, there is no doubt.

[aidangahan]

I love the new Peugeot 208 don’t agree with your opinion

[MrAndrei]

I like number 100 but I couldn't resist and gave a LIKE!

[hsvcommodore]

This is the best car in it's set, met by far

All my life i adore Peugeots 20X but i end up buying something more rational like Honda :) When i was a kid, my uncle owned 205 and i fell in love with it immediately, when i was student 206 was the best design of them all and the most sucessfull Peugeot ever. 207 and 208 Mark I were disappointments for me, but this new 208 i was set to buy as my second car. I said, for once i will go for my heart choice and for my childhood hero car, but...hmmm
Nevermind the dropdead georgeous looks (especially from behind) i aint sure i am gonna go for it. Rear is so cramped even for kids and we do transfer kids around in city car, doors are narrow amd ok boot is small, but i dont care about it, it wil be used for groceries... still it does sound like compromise, think i am gonna wait for brand new Mazda 2.

You are making me doubt my choice of a car....about to pick up GT Line ...i just love the looks and compared to my 11 year old Fiesta it drives just as smoothly
Informative and unbiased review, great work!

[sarperodev]

Quick fact: Nearly all Peugeots come with Michelin Primacy 3 or on newer models, like the 208, Primacy 4.

[MichelCavro]

Thank you Marek for the video! It's enjoyable and light. Personnally, I ordered a e-208 GT. I drove the car and it felt safe and sporty. I love the look and most of his features. Today I drive a ZOE wich I cannot compare at any level. I take the oportunity to mention that I just replaced the electric motor of the ZOE after 45 000 km. This happened to some of my friends as well. I will not buy another Renault.

great test and commentary as always by Marek. I happened to having driven test the Clio, 208 (this one lately and after having bought my Polo), Fiesta and glad to have purchased the new Polo. Its thumps down the better one in its class and if it had better looks, although getting to like it in time especially in the energetic orange color I have, it would surely have been best seller, great quality, great materials even the hard plastics, great anaLog instrument cluster(I dont particularly like the digital ones) great indash 8 inch multimedia screen and not standing out - aLone as in the other models, best interior and boot space, totally flat when folding the rear seats, something the others dont, great comfy and supporting front and rear seats, although I got the sport comfort option, great 115 hp engine, quiet and torquy, and super quiet cruising, all in all a great little car. My second choice would have been the Fiesta which apart from lacking in every other aspect compared to Polo, it was the best one in driving feel, it just gives you the feeling of control and handling like no other in this class.

1:43 literally my first reaction when I saw the lower spec one. the only thing improved was the fit and finish of the glove compartment. Clio is cheaper with the essentials hence the high sell numbers and that's the all positives about it :)

I would love to see the new Opel Corsa in contrast as it's built on the same platform
