Overview

Peugeot 208 at a glance

Quick model context before comparing photos and trim-level specifications.

Debuting at the March 2019 Geneva Motor Show, the second-generation Peugeot 208 transitions to the Common Modular Platform (CMP). This change reduces vehicle weight by approximately 30 kg compared to its predecessor. While the wheelbase remains nearly identical at 2540 mm, the hatchback grew 82 mm longer and 6 mm wider, while sitting 30 mm lower to give it a more planted stance. These adjusted proportions slightly reconfigure cabin space, though boot capacity varies between 265 and 311 liters depending on the specification. The model targets urban drivers looking for a stylish, modern supermini with updated tech and efficient engine options.

  • Power: 75-130 hp
  • Engine displacement: 1199-1499 cc
  • Transmissions: 8-speed automatic, 5-speed manual, 6-speed manual
  • Seating: 5 seats

Model guide

Peugeot 208 overview

Editorial context for design, cabin, performance, practicality, and buyer notes.

Design

The exterior of the 2019 Peugeot 208 adopts a sharp, expressive design language. Its low silhouette is complemented by a longer bonnet, a large radiator grille, and prominent claw-effect daytime running lights that extend down the front bumper. At the rear, a horizontal gloss-black band connects the tail lamps, which feature the brand's signature three-claw LED signature. Higher trims can be equipped with 17-inch alloy wheels, adding to the hatchback's sporty road presence.

Interior

Inside, the Peugeot 208 features the brand's 3D i-Cockpit layout, which positions a configurable digital instrument cluster above a compact, flat-top-and-bottom steering wheel. The dashboard centers around an available 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system supporting Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Below the screen, a row of physical, aviation-style toggle switches provides quick access to core functions. Materials range up to optional Nappa leather, and high-spec trims include ambient lighting and sports seats.

Performance

The 208 offers a range of front-wheel-drive powertrains, starting with a naturally aspirated 1.2-liter PureTech three-cylinder engine making 75 hp paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox. Turbocharged versions of the 1.2-liter engine produce either 101 hp (mated to a 6-speed manual or an 8-speed automatic) or 130 hp (exclusively paired with an 8-speed automatic). For diesel buyers, a 1.5-liter BlueHDi four-cylinder engine generates 102 hp and is matched to a 6-speed manual transmission, delivering high fuel efficiency.

Practicality

As a subcompact hatchback, the Peugeot 208 is tailored for urban driving and tight parking spaces. The cabin seats five passengers, with ISOFIX/LATCH points on the outer rear seats for child safety. The rear bench folds in a 60/40 split to expand cargo room when needed. In-cabin storage includes a center armrest on select trims and door pockets. Its compact footprint, combined with a 10.4-meter turning diameter, ensures nimble handling in city traffic.

Safety and tech

The vehicle includes modern driver-assistance features such as adaptive cruise control, a speed limiter, and an emergency braking system equipped with pedestrian detection. LED headlights, a light sensor, and rear parking sensors are available, with higher packages adding a rearview camera and rain sensors. Electronic stability control (ESP), traction control, ABS, emergency brake assist, and a full suite of airbags are standard across the range.

Buyer notes

When shopping for a 2019 Peugeot 208, buyers will encounter trims like the Active Pack and Allure Pack, alongside base specification models. The Active Pack features manual air conditioning, 16-inch alloy wheels, and standard infotainment, while the Allure Pack upgrades to climate control, keyless entry and start, a rearview camera, and a rain sensor. Exact equipment lists and naming conventions may vary depending on the market, so it is recommended to verify the spec sheet of individual vehicles.
