Unmissable model in the electric market, the Peugeot e-208 benefits from technical improvements, resulting in significant advancements in range.
The new model year of the electric hatchback shares the engine / battery set from the e-308 and the restyled DS 3. The maximum power increases by 20 hp to reach 156 hp, while the battery capacity now hits 51 kWh, a 1 kWh increase over the previous version.
Following these technical updates, the range of the Peugeot e-208 climbs to 400 km. A notable gain compared to the 362 km announced for the previous version, allowing the Lion’s electric city car to surpass the Renault Zoe. However, the advantage is symbolic, as the Zoe is rated with a range of 395 km. In terms of consumption, Peugeot states 12 kWh / 100 km. A very low figure, but likely rarely achieved under real-world conditions.
Before the changes made in late 2021, the Peugeot e-208 had a range of 340 km. Since its launch at the end of 2019, the vehicle has improved significantly. As a result, early e-208 models risk experiencing substantial depreciation.
An Aesthetically Unchanged Peugeot e-208
The improvements for this new model year of Peugeot e-208 are solely technical. For aesthetic changes, we’ll have to wait for the model’s facelift, which is expected to occur next year.
The new model year of Peugeot e-208 will be launched in 2023. For now, prices have not been announced. Currently, the base version of the e-208 is listed at €33,000, excluding a €6,000 bonus.
