Peugeot e-208 gets extra power and range
Peugeot is boosting the electric range and power on its e-208 supermini from next year with a new powertrain.
The e-208’s official range will rise 10.5%, reaching up to 248 miles
The major update from next year will see the e-208 gain the electric motor and more efficient 51kWh battery from the recently revealed e-308 and e-308 SW hatchback/estate.
As a result, maximum power will increase by 15%, from 136hp to 156hp, while official range will rise 10.5%, to reach up to 248 miles from the current 225 miles.
It’s the latest update to efficiency for the e-208 and comes only 10 months after tech changes and a switch to more eco-friendly tyres upped the range from 211 miles.
Since the e-208 first launched in 2019, almost 110,000 have been produced since its launch in 2019, and the brand says it’s been leading sales in the electric B-segment in Europe since the beginning of 2022.
The longer-range e-208 will be available in the UK from 2023 to purchase in store from dealers or via the brand’s Buy Online platform.
