Less than a year ago Peugeot improved the e-208 by giving it a longer range, now it goes further by equipping it with a larger battery giving it a maximum range of 248 miles. Peugeot says the updated e-208 will arrive in 2023.
Although the new e-208 will use the same battery as its all-electric hatchback sibling, Peugeot claims the electric supermini will be capable of up to 248 miles on a single charge (up from 225 miles), while the larger e-308 has a longer range. big. “over 248 miles” according to the French brand.
The new battery measures 54kWh (51kWh usable) and comes with a power increase from 136bhp to 156bhp. The torque remains the same, namely 260Nm. Peugeot hasn't said what performance figures we can expect, but the 0-100km/h time is slightly quicker than the previous model's 8.1 seconds. Peugeot claims that recharging the new e-208 from 20 to 80 per cent using a 100kW public charging point will take less than 25 minutes.
Visually, the new e-208 will be no different from the previous model. Inside we'll see Peugeot's i-Cockpit screen, consisting of a 10-inch center screen, a driver's screen and a small, flat-bottomed steering wheel.
Peugeot hasn't revealed pricing for the updated e-208, but we expect it to rise from the current car's starting price of £30,195.
