To celebrate the arrival of the all-new Peugeot 208 and e-208 models, the Hawkins Peugeot dealerships at St Stephen, Penryn and Hayle, are holding four day extended launches open to both customers and the public to showcase these exciting new models.
The all-new 208 is the first vehicle to fulfil Peugeot’s new philosophy of the power of choice ‘choose your Peugeot, choose your powertrain’ featuring the choice of diesel, petrol or all-electric powertrains, the all-new 208 and e-208 are available in Active, Allure and range-topping GT Line trim levels.
Standard equipment includes the new Peugeot i-Cockpit® with a compact multifunction steering wheel, configurable head-up display, either a 7” or 10” HD colour touchscreen (according to version) and seven satin chrome ‘piano’ toggle switches. The interior environment can also be personalised with a choice of eight LED mood lighting colours. All driving information can be easily accessed through the 3D i-Cockpit® cluster which is a unique system that projects all the information on different layers giving you an outstanding 3D effect.
The game changing full electric e-208 is Peugeot’s first new generation, 100% electric vehicle, it uses a 50kWh battery and 136hp electric motor to provide a 211 mile range from a full charge under the WLTP testing. All e-208 models come with three driving modes – Sport, Normal and Eco – and support rapid charging up to 100kWh, with an 80% charge taking just 30 minutes. The e-208 also features unique styling cues to set the electric model apart, including a body coloured chequered front grille, a bespoke ‘e’ monogram on the C-pillar and a dichroic Lion, which changes colour from different angles.
Peugeot recommend using a wallbox charger, so the all-new e-208 comes with a Mode 3 Type 2 cable as standard, which will charge the vehicle in 7.5 hours with a 7kW charging point. Peugeot customers can also download the MyPeugeot app, which will allow them to manage their vehicle charge remotely, precondition the temperature of the vehicle and receive ‘e-Coaching’ on how to benefit most from their vehicle. Peugeot will provide a ‘Charging Pass’ to their customers which enables them to access certain UK public charging points through a free subscription for an introductory period.
