New Peugeot 208 GT Line 2020 Review Interior Exterior.

In a B segment tending ever more towards standardisation, to the detriment of notions such as pleasure or youthfulness, the PEUGEOT brand sets itself apart in introducing the alluring new PEUGEOT 208.

Because car usage is shifting, because energy transition is a true opportunity, new PEUGEOT 208 offers, right from launch, three different energy source options – electric, petrol or diesel. Body line no longer dictates vehicle usage!

This new PEUGEOT 208 generation, which fits perfectly into the brand’s upmarket move strategy, is distinguished by its keen design that brings with it a breath of youth and energy.

In addition to original, distinctive styling, new PEUGEOT 208 is also breaking ground with a new generation PEUGEOT i-Cockpit© including a 3D head-up display and myriad driving aids normally reserved for higher market segments.

New PEUGEOT 208 sits on the PSA Group’s latest generation vehicle platform, CMP (Common Modular Platform). Dedicated to segments B and C, this new vehicle base complements the EMP2 (Efficient Modular Platform).

As its name implies, the CMP platform is adaptable in terms of dimensions and engine variants. Accommodating all power sources, it will enable customers to select their preferred type of power train, a traditional combustion engine (petrol or diesel) or an electric motor.

Economy was the watchword throughout the development phase. This new platform helps to limit new PEUGEOT 208’s CO2 emissions, due to:

reduction in weight (30 kg lighter vs. the F1 platform),
improved aerodynamics (levelled floor-pan, electronically controlled air inlets),
reduced roll resistance (Class A tyres, reduced suspension friction),
power train optimisation (improved combustion output, down-sizing, reduced mechanical friction, transmission extension and generalisation of Stop & Start).
The CMP platform also provides for increased comfort and safety levels:

greater acoustic and thermal comfort on board, lower vibration levels,
driving aids normally reserved for higher market segments and unprecedented in the B segment.

New PEUGEOT 208’s exterior is so distinctive and tasteful that it is able to dispense with chrome fittings, revealing the strength of an expressive design with pleasing proportions. It is well and truly at the centre of PEUGEOT’s up-market move.

Longer, wider and lower than the current PEUGEOT 208, this new generation reveals a distinctive bodyline, suggesting sportiness with its clean, taut lines. There is also a clear touch of sensuality conferred by the wide shaped wings and overall body curves - a discreet balance between soft and firm.

From the side, new PEUGEOT 208 reveals its pared-back windscreen that allows space for a longer, sculpted bonnet. To underscore the sporty look, the extreme-angled quarter light is perfectly aligned with the rear wheel arch. The GT Line or GT versions feature glossy black wheel arch flaring: this streamlines the body, making the wheel diameter appear larger. On these premium versions, the 17-inch wheel rims are adorned with screw-in, customisable inserts which improve the aerodynamic effect and reduce the un-sprung mass (-3.6 kg per vehicle).

Immediately recognisable, the front end is a clever blend echoing the visual signature of the lower section of new PEUGEOT and the Full LED 3-claw headlight signature (according to version). The front bumper is designed as a single contour containing a perfectly-integrated, single outlet radiator grill in the centre, bearing the iconic PEUGEOT Lion. The tip of the bonnet shows off the 208 badge.

As a follow-on from PEUGEOT 3008/5008/508, the rear end of new PEUGEOT 208 stands out with its black band running over the width of the boot lid, linking the 3-claw lights (which are also day-running). The design is exact, shapes are taut. The rear diffuser is available in a gloss black finish and, depending on the engine variant, may be enhanced by a chrome exhaust tail pipe.

Inspired by the PEUGEOT FRACTAL concept car, new PEUGEOT 208 benefits from a new unparalleled generation of the PEUGEOT i-Cockpit®, an inseparable part of the PEUGEOT DNA, with a firm following of over 5 million drivers.

The PEUGEOT i-Cockpit® on new PEUGEOT 208 features the same seamless 3-tier ergonomic structure as on the other models in the range.

Eye: all information is easy to see, carefully placed in the drivers field of view. Depending on the spec. level, the PEUGEOT i-Cockpit® 3D instrument panel display information that can be read at two levels. On the upper digital pad, information is projected in hologram form. The data is dynamic, being displayed closer or further to the driver’s eye as a function of importance or urgency, thus increasing reactivity by around half a second. Above the toggle switches in the central section, the touch screen is available in 5, 7 or 10-inch versions, depending on the spec. level and options selected.
