With a €2500 discount on the Peugeot Store and the CEE Bonus of €4200, the Peugeot e-208 becomes attractive again.
Let’s be frank: the Peugeot e-208 finds itself in a bit of a dilemma. Its technical configuration, with a 50 kWh battery and 136 horsepower (100 kW), is currently out of step with market expectations. The market desires either a small battery and small-powered city car, or more range and dynamism.
In this regard, the Renault 5 is shaking up the segment with an entry-level version of 40 kWh and 95 horsepower available from €21,890 (after deducting a €3100 CEE Bonus), offering a mixed range of 310 kilometers. And for those anxious about range, the R5 proposes a more powerful version with 150 hp and 52 kWh, ensuring up to 410 km.

Peugeot e-208, the necessity of promotion?
With 363 km of range, the Peugeot e-208 positions itself between the two battery configurations of the Renault 5. There is no other choice but to reposition itself to maintain some relevance.
On the online store Peugeot, where promotions are nearly permanent, we discover that the Peugeot e-208, in Style trim, enjoys a promotion of €1500 until September 30, 2025, along with an additional €1000 discount reserved for individuals.
The price thus drops to €26,500, which remains quite high for many customers. However, one can subtract from €3100 to €4200 from the CEE Bonus, resulting in a total bill ranging from €22,300 to €23,400.
Will this be enough to convince customers? The Peugeot is starting to feel dated, and its electric design was based on an architecture originally conceived for internal combustion. Meanwhile, the Renault 5, with its very attractive design, was primarily conceived as a true 100% electric vehicle. Prices and performances reflect this.
