Is the Peugeot E-208 finally up to par?
This page is translated from the original post "La Peugeot E-208 est-elle enfin au niveau ?" in French.

The 2025 model year of the Peugeot E-208 receives a generous dose of improvements that position it at the top end of the market segment.
We sometimes tend to forget that the Peugeot E-208 is no longer a young model. Introduced in October 2019, it received a facelift in July 2023. This update allowed this model to strongly position itself in a still relatively uncompetitive market of small electric city cars. But that was then, and the small French car now faces formidable competitors, including, of course, the new Renault 5 Electric. While its energy efficiency should be praised, more is needed to continue existing. With a technological update, the E-208 now offers increased range, reaching up to 433 km according to the WLTP mixed cycle for the version equipped with the 156 hp (115 kW) motor. A notable improvement of 23 km compared to the previous version.
But much more interesting, to facilitate its users’ trips, the Peugeot e-208 is now equipped with an integrated trip planner. Coupled with the optional connected navigation system, this tool optimizes routes by considering various parameters such as distance, battery charge level at departure and arrival, as well as available charging stations along the route. This feature aims to maximize range and simplify recharge management for drivers.
An Electric Car of Its Time
Another notable novelty is the Vehicle to Load (V2L) function, which allows powering external electrical devices via the vehicle’s high-voltage battery. This system can provide up to 3.5 kW and 16A, enabling the recharging of equipment such as electric bikes or powering mobile lighting. The necessary adapter is available as an accessory from Peugeot dealers. Unfortunately, this highly appreciated feature is only available on the 156 hp electric motor version.
In 2024, the Peugeot e-208 established itself as the best-selling model in the 100% electric B segment in France and Europe. To sustain this momentum, Peugeot is also introducing several optimizations, including a new multifunctional video camera that improves cyclist and pedestrian detection for more effective automatic emergency braking. Additionally, a new exterior color, Okenite White, replaces Arctic White and is now available across the entire range.
