Peugeot 208 2015 review - Car Keys

Peugeot has given its 208 supermini a facelift for 2015, with some new exterior tweaks, trim line-up additions and engine options.

The highlights of the new 208 are its sporty GT Line trim, which add cool red highlights to the interior and exterior as well as sports seats, and its new three-cylinder 1.2-litre turbo petrol.

This new turbo gives the 208 added clout against the likes of the Ford Fiesta and Vauxhall Corsa, which both offer impressive three-cylinder units.

I bought a 208 in 2012 and still love it. Great comfort, very luxurious inside for a supermini and good looks. The 1.2Thp was not available at the time and although the 1.2Vti is good enough I would now go for the 1.2Thp for that little oomph especially in the lower revs.

Nice review, good looking little car, Peugeot returning to form lately.

Stop comparing everything to the Fiesta. Reviewers on car websites and Youtube are always biased towards the Ford offering, and constantly give out negative comments about every other make. If Ferrari made a small hatchback, they would still say its not as good to drive as a Fiesta. Whats with the obsession? I have driven, and owned nearly 30 cars in 30 years, including two fiestas, on a 99 year plate and 2005 plate. Both were great cars in their day, and better in many ways to the current Fiesta, but im deeply suspicious of the way that the Fiesta is made out to be better than every other small hatch, which is total rubbish. I find it insulting to other manufacturers with the negative comments. If the other brands were so bad, do you really think people would buy them?

The 208 may "only" have a 285 litre boot, but it does carry a full-sized spare tyre.

[davidtosh]

I would to see Peugeot 208 in the United States again coming soon, and like to see someone win this car on the TPiR in the near future.

[dancooper]

how come the 208 no longer gets climate control in Allure trim

[JKG]

Outdated cruise control? Look at all Audi's models, they have the similar design....

[GrahamReid]

it's a great looker, nice to see they have made the climate separate, seemed a bit of a faff going through the touchscreen to turn up the heating, glovebox is shocking and that cruise control is from the 206cc lol.

[rayhunt]

Great review, this is the 208 I am thinking of getting or a Mazda2 sport-nav

[Tara-igqb]

Random question but where is the cd player?

[anthonyrichard]
