Peugeot 208 2013 Review

Quick Review

The new 2013 Peugeot 208 promises tough competition to Volkswagen Golf and other superminis out there with improved fuel efficiency, improved handling and minimalist interior. 

The new 2013 Peugeot 208 is 110 kilos lighter than the Peugeot 207 and also has much better aerodynamics. These developments have benefits in terms of CO2 emissions and fuel economy, but the changes are perhaps most notable in the car's handling.

The ease with which the 208 corners, both around town and on longer trips, is helped by the variable assist power steering, which is exceptionally smooth and the best available on a supermini. The handling is coupled with excellent ride quality that ensures journeys are comfortable for the driver and passengers alike.

In terms of interior, there is plenty of legroom in the front and enough in the rear seats to be comfortable. The boot is quite adequate for a supermini and, if you need extra space, there is a 60:40 split folding rear seat.

As you would expect with a Peugeot, the 208 is well-equipped, with gadgets including bizone automatic air conditioning, electric windows and central locking with keyless entry. There are also a host of safety features, such as driver and passenger airbags, auto headlights and wipers, and ABS.
