There are three trims to choose from with the Peugeot E-208: Allure, GT and GT Premium. Each comes with the choice of either a 134bhp electric motor and a 50kWh battery or a 154bhp electric motor and a 51kWh battery. Prices vary depending on your chosen combination, with the line-up starting from around £28,000 for an Allure with the 50kWh pack, while the GT Premium with the 51kWh battery commands close to £32,500.! Even before the introduction of the more powerful 51kWh version, the E-208 was a well-sorted supermini. There’s decent compliance from the suspension around town, and plenty of instant punch to nip into gaps in the traffic.
In a bid to improve efficiency further, the amount of power the electric motor puts out depends upon which drive mode you’re using. The 51kWh version has enough shove in Normal mode for most situations, although stamping on the throttle will activate a ‘kickdown’ that overrides the settings and brings in the full 154bhp and 260Nm of torque. You pay a high price for choosing Eco mode, mind you; it detunes the motor down to 80bhp, and even with 180Nm of torque, you can feel this shortfall.
