Is the Peugeot E-208 worth 160 euros per month?

Less painful for the wallet than a cash purchase, long-term rentals are on the rise. A look at the Peugeot E-208 offer.

One could take a glance borrowed from the racing Hypercar, the Peugeot 9X8. With its daytime running lights echoing the famous three vertical claws, the Peugeot 208 benefits from a very modern and aggressive redesign that suits it well. The same goes for the rear with horizontally striped taillights that give a sense of greater width to the vehicle.

To simplify customer choice, the range of the new 208 is streamlined, with three versions: Active, Allure, and GT, and six 100% electric, hybrid, and gasoline powertrains. Let’s focus on the 100% electric offer.

So on paper, or rather on the Peugeot website, the new Peugeot E-208 is worth 160 euros. Finally, once the government subsidies are deducted and a first deposit of 4,090 euros is paid. First scratch on the famous trust contract. Regarding the government subsidies, Peugeot mentions 7,000 euros! Worse, the price includes a 1,500-euro conversion bonus. So we are talking about a household with very modest income that ticks all the boxes for the maximum Ecological Bonus and also has an old vehicle to exchange. A small piece of advice for these families, do not rush into this offer and wait for the return of Social Leasing. You will pay much less for the same car. For others, a monthly fee of 250 euros is more reasonable.

Sorry for Peugeot, but this interesting offer is actually not interesting at all. We will therefore pass and wait for something better, and please with fewer conditions in asterisks…
