Been watching every video on the e-208 I could find. Very pleasently surprised by this video and the audio review, because the speakers never got mentioned in other reviews. Thanks a bunch! :)

The e208 just got some significant upgrades: 156bhp engine and another 52kwh battery....plus the shifter is no longer that big lever...

Having test driven a GT Premium today I'd completely disagree with your assessment of the interior. I personally love it and the performance and handling was agile and sporty. While not perfect as based on a modified ICE chassis, it's still very good.

Peugeot just increased the range of the e-208 to 225 miles. In Denmark where I live you can get the e-208 for £26400 while the ID-3 for £38800. The difference of £12400 for me is quite a lot. At the moment I'm leaning towards buying a e-208 or the Opel corsa-e.

It is hands down the most acceptable looking eletric vehicle on its price range (around 30k euro). Also, I have driven a GT e-208, and it is a great drive.

And does a VW Polo equivalent-sized EV exist right now? No. They're not different categories either - hatchback EV at around £30k.

@kevinison5539 2 жыл бұрын

If electric cars are to flourish then the range needs to be greater and the price lower. The Zoe is making more progress but doesn't feel as premium inside to my eyes. I'd like to see models with fewer toys and put the money into better range.

Do not understand why the carmakers are making SUVs or CSUVs insead of smaller lighter vehicles. Peugeot has listen to what the customers want or rather do not want. They do not want bizzare looking cars with elevated body like they were pumped up with the air pump that are heavy and unefficient. 208e is what it should be, they need to work on the price and not rely on federal grants to sell it. The value for this car is around 15k dollars. There are much less parts compared to an ICE and the higher prices cannot be justified unless they are looking to make up for the losses in the past years. Customer would not bare the costs even indirectly by federal grants.

I can not understand why you repeatedly compare this car to the VW ID 3, which costs £8000 more. Who goes out to buy a car with that kind of price range in mind?

As per our written review, at the time of filming: "The e-208 starts from £27,225" [...] "the well-rounded VW ID.3 from £30,935" Thus, at the time, £3,710; hope that clears things up.
