Quick model context before comparing photos and trim-level specifications.
Introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in spring 2019, the Peugeot e-208 represents the French automaker's push into the mainstream electric vehicle market. Utilizing the e-CMP platform, this B-segment hatchback positions its battery pack beneath the floor to preserve the standard model's interior layout and 265-liter boot capacity. Visually, the e-208 distinguishes itself from standard versions through body-colored grille accents, a color-shifting brand lion emblem, and subtle 'e' badging. It targets urban buyers who want the benefits of electric mobility—such as silent operation and instant torque—packaged in a familiar, aggressively styled subcompact body. The vehicle competes directly in the growing electric supermini segment, offering a balance of range and usability.

Peugeot e-208 overview
Editorial context for design, cabin, performance, practicality, and buyer notes.
Design
The exterior design of the Peugeot e-208 mirrors the sharp, aggressive look of the second-generation 208. Key styling elements include the signature front daytime running lights shaped like fangs, three-segment LED headlights, and a black horizontal band across the rear that integrates claws-style tail lights. Unique electric identifiers include a body-colored checkered front grille, a bi-colored lion badge that changes shade depending on the angle, and 'e' monograms on the rear pillars. The vehicle measures 4,055 mm in length and 1,765 mm in width (without mirrors), presenting a wide, planted stance on the road.
Interior
Inside, the e-208 features the Peugeot 3D i-Cockpit, which places a digital instrument cluster high in the driver's line of sight. The cabin layout includes a compact, flat-topped and flat-bottomed steering wheel and physical aircraft-style toggle switches for key controls. Infotainment is managed via a 10-inch touchscreen display that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. Depending on the specification, premium features such as Nappa leather upholstery, ambient lighting, and a head-up display are available, creating a modern and relatively upscale environment for a B-segment hatchback.
Performance
Powering the e-208 is a front-mounted electric motor producing 136 horsepower (100 kW) and 260 Nm of torque. Energy is supplied by a 50 kWh lithium-ion battery pack. This setup allows the hatchback to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.1 seconds, reaching a limited top speed of 150 km/h. According to the WLTP cycle, the e-208 offers a range of up to 340 km on a full charge. The single-speed transmission drives the front wheels, providing smooth and immediate acceleration suited for city traffic.
Practicality
As a five-door, five-seat hatchback, the e-208 offers decent everyday utility for its size. The battery placement under the floor means the trunk volume remains identical to the standard combustion models at 265 liters. With a wheelbase of 2,540 mm and a turning circle of 10.4 meters, it is highly maneuverable in tight city streets and parking spaces. While rear legroom is typical for a subcompact hatchback, it serves well for daily commuting and small families.
Safety and tech
The e-208 comes equipped with a suite of modern safety systems and driver assistance technologies. These features include adaptive cruise control, a rear-view camera, and an automatic emergency braking system capable of detecting pedestrians. For night driving, three-segment LED headlights provide clear visibility. Inside, the digital instrument panel and 10-inch touchscreen form the technological hub, supported by Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration to keep drivers connected on the move.
Buyer notes
When shopping for a Peugeot e-208, buyers should consider charging options. The vehicle supports 11 kW AC charging, which fully replenishes the battery in approximately 5.5 hours, as well as 100 kW DC fast charging that can charge the battery from 0 to 80 percent in 30 minutes. Prospective buyers should check the specific trim level and optional packages, as premium materials like Nappa leather and advanced driver aids may vary by market and original configuration.
