Lease deals for the new Peugeot 208 and electric e-208. The all-new 208 and e-208 start from £16,250 and £25,050 respectively, with customer deliveries starting early 2020.

Petrol- and diesel-powered 208s will be available in Active, Allure and GT Line trim levels, while the all-electric e-208 will be available exclusively in GT trim.

The new 208 shares its basic platform with the DS 3 Crossback and Vauxhall Corsa – both of which will also be offered in electric guise. It’s set to come with a 134bhp electric motor and a 50kW battery, allowing a range of up to 211 miles.

From a dedicated charging point which takes approximately 8 hours for a full charge. 80% of the vehicle charge can be obtained in 30 minutes from a 100kW fast-charging station.

But aside from this electrifying news, what else is new?

On the outside, the 208 makes a complete breakaway from its predecessor, and features a much more aggressive look. The rakish front end and rear lights are clearly borrowed from the 508.

The interior is also a massive leap ahead compared to the outgoing model. There’s a new i-Cockpit set-up that dominates the dashboard, with an all-new 3D i-Cockpit digital driver display offered as an option. This is capable of creating the appearance of 3D objects such as buildings on the satnav.

The system is Android Auto- and Apple CarPlay-friendly, and all cars come with a 7in touchscreen, although 10in units feature on the higher trims. As well as the aforementioned electric option, the 208 will be available with petrol and diesel engines from launch, too.

The smart chrome ‘piano’ toggle switches we’ve seen on larger Peugeots feature too, and the quality and trim should be much improved as well. A smartphone app can also be used to pre-programme the car’s heating, air conditioning and windscreen defrosting (on the electric e-208 only).

A large number of safety features are also on offer, including Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind Spot Monitoring, Speed Limit Recognition, Lane Positioning Assist, Full Park Assist, Active Lane Keeping Assist and Peugeot’s ‘Smartbeam’ automatic headlight dipping.

Active trim features 16-inch alloy wheels (steel wheels for the e-208), Active Safety Brake with pedestrian detection, electric and heated door mirrors and LED daytime running lights.
