Just three years after its launch, the Peugeot 208 was refreshed in 2015 featuring new engines and a new interior infotainment system. On top of that, new LED taillights have been added. The urban hatchback has enough personality to not be mistaken with some other vehicle.
A new sharper bumper was installed, with a wider grille and a thicker chrome finisher fully integrated into the bumper. On higher trim levels, the stamped chrome finisher on the grille gives it a 3D effect. The headlights are two-tone, with black and chrome masks, and are standard from the second trim level.
Inside the refreshed 208 there is the Peugeot i-Cockpit, an innovative arrangement of the instruments and controls. A new, 7” touch screen is installed for the infotainment unit and it is standard from the second trim level. It can be connected via Bluetooth and USB, and it can be paired even better via Peugeot Connect Apps. It also has MirrorScreen for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Under the hood, Peugeot installed only Euro 6 engines. There is a wide choice of gasoline engines from 1.0-liter ones to 1.6-liters. The units with outputs under 110 hp are offered with a 5-speed manual transmission, while the 1.6-liter with 165 hp and 208 hp, respectively, are offered with a 6-speed manual. The 1.2-liter with 110 hp can be mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. The diesel version is a 1.6-liter that comes with three power levels: 68 hp, 100 hp, and 120 hp, respectively.
