The Peugeot 208 has been the French car manufacturer’s bestselling model since it was first introduced back in March 2012. And, for good reason too. It’s a modern vehicle that boasts the latest technology and is brilliant for short to medium length commutes. Drivers also benefit from an economical engine and more style than most alternatives, including the Ford Fiesta. If you’re looking for a small car that offers excellent value for money, then the Peugeot 208 Active 1.2L is likely to fit the bill. Let’s take a look at exactly why.
With the Peugeot 208, you get all of the usual driver assistance features including lane assistance to stop you drift out of your land on motorways. There’s an autonomous parking system which is capable of controlling acceleration, braking and steer when parking the vehicle and leaving a parking space. There’s also a traffic sign recognition system that can work with the built-in speed limiter. This is to make sure that you never exceed the speed limit of the road you are driving on.
The Peugeot 208 is aimed at city drivers, so the light steering is perfect for short commutes. Even better, it is brilliant for three-point turns and difficult parking manoeuvres. Suspension wise, the Peugeot 208 can handle speed bumps with no problem at all.
The Peugeot 208 is a compact and convenient supermini, which certainly helps when it comes to making inner-city and suburban journeys. At almost 4,000mm long, it’s almost exactly the same length as a Ford Fiesta. The interior boasts plenty of useful storage options, including a number of cup-holders, decent door bins and a deep cubby area. The only downside is that the central armrest can sometimes get in the way of your elbow. But, it ultimately depends what your driving style is, as to whether this will be a problem or not.
The designers at Peugeot have attempted to give the 208 a contemporary and stylish look. And, it is fair to say that have succeeded. The Peugeot 208 comes in 13 different colours, so there’s plenty of choice amongst drivers that are considering the vehicle. The body shape is neat and curvy, and the creases in the doors and bonnet give an even more modern look. The brake lights have three lines of LEDs in each cluster which makes them look like a lion’s claw. Equipped with a convenient daytime running function, the intensity of the lights also adjust automatically to light conditions, enhancing the visibility of the vehicle no matter what time of day it is.
Overall, the Peugeot 208 Active remains an appealing choice for drivers in a crowded and competitive supermini market. Peugeot continues to find success with the 208 1.2L PureTech 82 5 Door because it boosts appeal amongst younger drivers that are considering a stylish car. When going head to head with the likes of the Ford Fiesta, the Peugeot 208 comes out on top. The stylish and contemporary design makes the car stand out compared to the somewhat dull-looking Ford Fiesta. And, there are plenty of practicalities on offer that makes this car the ideal companion for everyday use.
