Peugeot e-208 GT 2025: Price, consumption, picture, technical data.
Redesigned from the ground up, the Peugeot e-208 GT is arguably one of the most attractive models in Europe’s crowded B-segment. It’s more than just a pretty face, as PSA’s revamped subcompact hatchback has undergone skin-deep changes and added an electric variant as well.
Peugeot e-208 GT
The Peugeot e-208 GT was the French brand’s second production electric car to be sold in Europe, shortly after the e-208. And as with the compact SUV, it soon took on an important role, accounting for almost 20% of sales and helping the hatch to market leadership in several markets.
Interior
The Peugeot e-208 GT doesn’t just look fantastic on the outside – it also stands out for its interior design and quality. OK, there are cheaper plastics on the tops of the doors and lower section, but overall the soft-touch dashboard and classy, nicely muted switches help the e-208 GT stand out above the rest.
The two-tier concave dashboard design is also striking, and there are quirky features like a fold-down smartphone bar and touch-sensitive buttons for the infotainment and heated seat controls (where fitted) that make the e-208 GT feel more expensive inside. Entry-level Active models get cloth seats and a leather steering wheel, while Allure models upgrade this to cloth and synthetic leather. GT-Line models then get a different stitch colour as well as a perforated leather steering wheel, and GT top-of-the-range cars get cloth and Alcantara seats. Full leather seats are also optional on some models if you want.
On the e-208 GT’s dashboard is a 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system as standard, which includes DAB radio and Bluetooth, but more importantly also Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. An option (or standard on GT models) is a 10.0-inch version of the same system, which also includes built-in sat nav. However, you’re better off relying on the traffic information provided by your smartphone navigation apps, and the user experience of Apple and Android is better too – the native Peugeot system has a few too many small, hard-to-use on-screen buttons.
Peugeot’s new 3D digital dials are standard on Allure trim. They’re projected onto different planes to create a three-dimensional effect and look superb, but most importantly they display key information clearly and are customisable so you can choose what you want to see. Wireless charging is standard on Allure trim, but if your smartphone can’t handle that then USB ports are plentiful – there are two up front (one standard, one USB-C) and the front Allure trim gets you another two in the back. There’s only a six-speaker sound system and no upgrade option, but it certainly offers good sound.
Specifications and battery
The new model is based on the modular CMP platform, born ready for electrification. Thus, the new 208 was born with this electric version already in the plans. In practice, this means that the new e-208 GT has typical characteristics of an electric model and not an adaptation of thermal models with some competitors. This is reflected in the maintenance of the same dimensions with 4.05 m long, 1.96 m wide, 1.43 m high and a wheelbase of 2.53 m. In terms of weight, it has 1,530 kg against the 1,178 kg of the 208 Handles.
Obviously, instead of the 1.6 naturally aspirated 118 hp, it brings an electric motor that generates 136 hp and 26.5 kgfm of torque that is sent to the front wheels. According to the WLTP test used in Europe, with its 50 kWh battery it has a range of 340 km and Peugeot indicates 8.3 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h, while the top speed is limited to 150 km/h. During the official presentation, Peugeot quoted that the autonomy “can reach 400 km” depending on use.
To recharge the battery, the e-208 GT can use the portable charger included in the vehicle on a 110V or 220V socket, which can take up to 16 hours. With a 7.4 kW Weg wallbox (sold through the brand’s dealers), a charge of up to 80% is achieved in 6 hours, while the 22 kW wallbox reduces this time to 4 hours but requires a three-phase network. The car can also use one of the 100 kW ultra-fast charging stations, where the car recovers 80% of its full charge in 30 minutes. Like any European car, it uses standard Type 2 sockets (CCS 2 for ultra-fast charging).
Price
The electric car has been present on the European market for a long time. You can buy a Peugeot e-208 in the minimum configuration for 30,000 euros, the top version (GT) costs from 36,000 euros. The electric car competitors of the new Peugeot e-208 GT are the Renault 5 Alpine , the Audi A2 E-Tron , Smart EVs and VW ID.1 .
