Peugeot Continues Its Electric Offensive With e-208 Hatchback

Peugeot has unveiled its all-electric e-208 ahead of the 2019 Geneva Motor Show, with orders open to the public ahead of release in late Summer 2019

The French automaker will unveil its electric hatchback as part of its new 208 line up next week, with a choice of petrol, diesel and electric powertrains set to be available from launch. The zero-emission e-208 is the first in a series of 100% electric models, as Peugeot prepares to electrify its entire range by 2023.

With a 100kW electric motor and a 50kWh battery producing a range of up to 211 miles, the all-new e-208 comes with three driving modes: Eco, to optimise range, Normal, optimising comfort, and Sport, allowing the driver to prioritise performance. The battery is covered by an 8 year, 100,000-mile manufacturer warranty.

Distributed under the floor plan of the e-208, the 220L battery is positioned to allow maximum interior space and boot space to be maintained, matching the capacities of the petrol and diesel versions.
