At a glance the Peugeot e-208 looks much like any other Peugeot 208. That’s not such a bad thing these days as the 208 is a good looking car, but what the 208 lacks in differentiation from petrol and diesel versions, it gains in being just as easy to hop into and drive without being bombarded by technology.
It doesn’t have a class-leading range but nor is it the worst in this respect, and not by a long shot, making it among the more usable small EVs on the market. Recent increases in depreciation for EVs, meanwhile, mean it’s also little more expensive to buy than the equivalent combustion 208.
The e-208 has a cousin in the form of the Vauxhall e-Corsa, and styling and interior aside the two offer broadly the same things. The Renault Zoe is a potentially longer-range option in the small EV market, while the MINI Electric, Honda E and BMW i3 stand out more but don’t travel as far on a charge.
The Peugeot e-208 is one of those electric cars that makes sense as a transitional vehicle - in other words, if you’re wanting to make that first step into something electric, then this mostly conventional supermini with a reasonable range for its size makes a pretty good starting point.
That range figure is 217 miles officially, which doesn’t sound like much but should more than suit buyers who tend to do mostly local trips. It also results in a real-world range 50-odd miles better than flashier electric superminis like the Honda E and MINI Electric.
Performance meanwhile is brisk - it’s quicker off the mark than any current petrol or diesel 208. It doesn’t quite handle as nimbly as they do, thanks to its extra weight, but aside from a slightly firmer ride (also to keep that weight in check) it still handles well, and naturally makes a lot of sense for city driving too.
Not everyone gets on with Peugeot’s current interior layout (which has a small, low-set steering wheel below high-set dials) so try before you buy, but the cabin is imaginatively designed and Peugeot continues to make strides for interior quality too. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto also come standard, so you can hop right in, plug in your phone, and quickly figure out how everything works.
If you’re not yet sold on the e-208 then you do have a few alternatives, not least the mechanically similar Vauxhall e-Corsa, whose styling is more under-the-radar than the Peugeot. At the other end of the scale there are options like the MINI Electric, Honda E and even the BMW i3, but none of these will go as far on a charge as the e-208, with the MINI and Honda only just scraping 100 miles in the real world.
A Peugeot e-208 not for you? We've got 1000s of used cars for sale to suit all budgets and needs.
Until the very latest models you just got one battery and motor option in the e-208, so for the time being at least, you’ll instead be choosing between trim levels rather than power outputs or range figures. This keeps things simple at least, and you’d be forgiven for sticking with the basic Active Premium trim too, which is already better equipped than combustion 208s - though we’d suggest seeking for Allure Premium versions instead, which add a useful reversing camera, and get a fancier 3D-effect floating instrument panel.
A range update in late 2023 shuffled up the e-208’s trim level lineup but the majority of the used models you’ll find for sale will be one of the four trim levels below. Unusually for an EV at the more affordable end of the market, you could actually opt for electric power with any trim level in the range, rather than the EV sitting separately from the petrol and diesel versions or getting a trim level or two to itself. All e-208s got features like an electric handbrake and automatic air conditioning though, which were only available a trim level or two higher on other variants.

The Peugeot e-208’s boot size is:
Being fully electric, the e-208 has an advantage over petrol and diesel 208s, as VED, or ‘road tax’, won’t cost you a penny. This is set to change in April 2025, though when a fee is finally introduced, it’s still likely to be cheaper than taxing a combustion vehicle.
The e-208 spans only a handful of insurance groups, though with Active Premium models starting in group 26 and GT Premium topping out at group 28, insurance is higher than the combustion-powered 208 range, which goes from group 12-25. Insuring a 208 should be similar to most other electric cars of the same size however.
