Design Philosophy
“With the new PEUGEOT 208, I am proud to introduce a car that projects PEUGEOT’s vision of the future. Its sleek and seductive design is reminiscent of its rich pedigree, drawing inspiration from models like the PEUGEOT 205, but with a newfound youthfulness and energy that is a testament to our brand direction. The 208 is a car that will disrupt the B segment thanks to premium materials, the latest in technology, and unrivaled quality standards.” said Rakesh Nair, Managing Director for European Brands at Stellantis ME.
Dimensions and Body Design
Longer, wider, and lower than the outgoing model, this new generation Peugeot 208 reveals a distinctive bodyline that suggests sportiness with its clean, taut lines. Key design features include:
- A touch of sensuality from the wide-shaped wings and overall body curves.
- A discreet balance between soft and sporty elements.
- Pared-back windscreen that allows space for a longer, sculpted bonnet.
