Lease the Peugeot e-208 Active

2020 presents a real opportunity for many manufacturers to showcase their latest electric innovation and make a real statement of intent for the future of their product. One of the real opportunities is in producing genuinely affordable and practical small cars which are equally popular amongst personal and business leasing customers. The new e-208 is one small car which could make a big difference. Having already won the CarWow “little legend” award for 2019, the brand-new 208 from Peugeot looks to bring a new form of style and substance to the city-car market in the UK.

Peugeot is a key component in the Groupe PSA, a multinational manufacturer producing DS, Vauxhall, Citroen and, after a recent merger with FCA, Fiat. One of the key barriers to electric cars is the time and investment it takes to produce functional and cost-effect automotive solutions. This new global superpower could use economies of scale to bring exciting new EVs to customers worldwide.

The e-208 will start its UK journey in early 2020 across the dealer network, with actual vehicles to be delivered shortly afterwards. A true competitor to the Ford Fiesta (the UK’s best-selling car), the Seat Ibiza and VW Polo, the latest generation of 208 offers distinctive style, design and substance. Even the petrol and diesel alternatives are set to be key cheap leasing options.

The entry mode, the Active, will be the most cost-effective specification with the e208 offering. With 16″ alloys, a 7″ touchscreen, Mirror screen (Apply CarPlay/Android Auto), air conditioning, rear parking sensors and LED daytime running lights, this near £30,000 option offers many of the basic necessitates you would need. Powered by a 50kWh lithium-ion battery, drivers can expect 136ps, 0-62 times of just over 8 seconds and top speeds of 93mph. An electric Peugeot has service intervals of every 12 months or 16,000 miles (whichever lands sooner). With a WLTP range of just over 210 miles, this small electric car can be a practical daily solution and remove any “range-anxiety”. Charging via the Type 2 connector will take 7-8 hours on a 7kW AC unit or, if you upgrade the on-board charger, you can achieve full capacity in just 5 hours via an 11kW charging unit. A domestic 3-pin socket would take around 24 hours for full capacity! A CCS connector on the Pug allows for rapid charging (up to 100kW DC). 0-80% takes just 30 minutes on a 100kW rapid charge unit.

Will the e-208 help Peugeot produce the UK’s best-selling and family-favourite small car?
