***The weight comparisons shown are for gross vehicle weight (in kg).
[Kerb weight for Renault Zoe ZE50 is 1502kg and for the Peugeot e-208 is 1483 kg.]***
Peugeot's slogans say Motion & e-Motion, because this all-new 208 is being launched in all types of engines simultaneously; that's petrol, diesel, and pure EV. Of course, this means the car has been designed from scratch to accommodate every iteration on the shared production line. As part of the PSA Group the e-208 shares it's chassis and main components with the range-topping DS Crossback e-tense and also the forthcoming Vauxhall Corsa-e.
Jonny drives the slick looking 5-door only e-208 in Portugal in top spec GT trim. All electric models come with a 211-mile WLTP range, 50kWh watercooled battery, 100kW (136hp) motor and 0-62mph (100km) time of 8.1 seconds. The e-208 can rapid charge up to 100kW DC, meaning 0-80% in less than 30 minutes. It also is available with an optional 11kW onboard charger. Prices will start in the UK from £25,050 OTR making it arch-rival to Renault's Zoe, the forthcoming Mini-e and well established Nissan Leaf.

So there is a video of a Porsche Speedster, a Mustang Bullitt and a Focus ST in my subscription inbox. Which one do I click first? None, I click on the one with Jonny and a little EV Peugeot. I feel something is changing...

Same here, I could care less about the latest AMG or Hellcat Redeye. Only 2 years ago, I wouldn't say the same thing.

@JRRossi101 4 года назад

To be fair how much of that is down to the review style vs the type of car. Fully charged is mwah & seems down to a tee at the moment. I click on their videos more too see something great from Jonny or Robert rather than the car featured these days.

@ronb4633 4 года назад

Sigh, you guys make me feel so bad. I watched the Porsche 919 Hybrid Nurburgring 5:20 then the Cayman GT4 and Spyder before coming to the here for Jonny. This does look sweet and the full blown one sounds good. I have the Chevy Bolt aka Ampera E and love it too. But now having Taycan dreams. ☺️

@earlpottinger671 4 года назад

I think you raise a good point that the people in love with loud, fast, ICE cars don't get. The general public glances at those other cars but never plan to buy them unless they win the lottery (note: people who love the ICE cars scrap together the money even when they are not well off), but the average person always ask how much is this going to cost me. BEV can win because of the long term savings, but the drive to look at the expensive ICE cars is not there.

@TheOilBurner 4 года назад

Now this is how EV reviews should be done. I feel like I really understand what this car has to offer and what it would be like to own and drive. Excellent stuff. Nice car too. Hadn't considered the e208 before, but now, it might be the one to replace my Leaf..

@DG-uv3zw 4 года назад

Nice presentation, not enough info(like efficiency, infotainment system etc...) Regarding the car - it has astronomical price for a B segment car!(considerably smaller then Golf) Seriously 35k pounds without incentives !!! My God! Sorry, but these kind of vehicles will hurt EV development in the world. How on earth could I recommend someone a budget B segment car for 35k!? Range is solid, performance is solid but not enough gadgets like auto pilot, sunroof etc... MG ZS EV is a miles better alternative. And if someone says that MG is bad quality- this is a French car!? They have the worse electronic of all the EU manufactures(even worse then recent Italian cars!)

@Veyron_fan 4 года назад

@@DG-uv3zw Firstly it's a TEST DRIVE video not a review, as the title states. If you really need to know more about it's efficiency figures other than the range which is what EVERYONE wants to know, i suggest watching a full in depth review or just looking them up. 2nd it's by no means a "budget B segment car" it's widely regarded as a very "classy upmarket car" that looks great outside and in and has very good electric performance for it's price. I get the feeling you dont have a very good view on Peugeots in general. I would strongly suggest visiting a dealer and having a look in some of the newer cars. The 508 for example in the higher specs is nicer than my friends new Jag. I had the last 208 gti and it was nicer and MORE RELIABLE than the Diesel GOLF GT I traded in for it. I'd like to know what other EV's are available to order at the moment, for the same money as this, that you would consider much better cars for someone wanting a classy small electric car?

@MrTaliz 4 года назад

The BIG thing, really the killer feature, with this is the liquid cooled battery and 100kw charging. That makes it possible to do proper road trips and use it as a primary car. No one in this price range is close to that. The Zoe, Leaf etc only offer slow charging around 50kw which makes them a PITA on road trips and only useful as second/city cars.

@WonkoTheSaneUK 4 года назад

Don't forget this is 100kW charging as STANDARD. Zoe is 50kW charging as an expensive (£750 in UK) option!

@soundslave 4 года назад

That is a very important point. I'd certainly call it a make-or-break difference

@nordic5490 4 года назад

tali sson the small 50kwhr battery means shorter battery life. Owners will jave some range anxiety and will tend to charge wherever possible. Li-ion batteries wear faster (oxidise faster) when at higher states of charge. This is why Tesla batteries last so long, Teslas may only be typically charged twice per week.

@marw8383 4 года назад

my ten pence worth..... I've got an eGolf - traded in a bigger car and city car to go down to one car. We don't do long journeys, so I get it that it doesn't work for everyone. But longer journey's (e.g. south coast to London), we get the train. or longer still, train or maybe even a hire car. I guess what I'm trying to say is, we make it work, but the world - and climate- is changing. I'm not preaching, we love the car, and I get it it doesn't work for everyone. I think to directly compare - and expect - an EV to do everything an ICE does in exactly the same manner. Maybe it's comparing apples and bananas...both fruit, but different. And I guess that we maybe should realise to change things, we've got to do things a bit different anyway (sorry, I've maybe stepped over into 'preaching mode'...) but you get what I'm saying. Best wishes.

@TheLifejunky 4 года назад

This is my two cents about this car: Whenever a designer is a car enthusiast it shows. The lines that look as it s miving even sitting still, the stance and the non rediculasation of the vehicle as when a vehicle is designed as an object as a white good or something than there is no soul no emotion is stirred when one looks at the car. This car is a work of art! The details such as the peugeot engraved in the black bezel of the tail lights woow small things that make every part on the car like the aluminium switches and the stitching and carbon on the dash to the beautiful design of the gear lever!! Can t wait to drive one at night with the ambient lighting on I m a petrol head and a car guy but this gets me excited to drive an ev!! Lool only one thing would have made it sweeter 200bhp maybe rear wheel driven actually cut the maybe and make it definitley hehe peugeot pls it s december be like santa take note of this request

Currently driving a diesel 308 and have been looking at going electric as I am not doing nearly as much milage as I was previously. I'd love something like this. Looks like a great little car, much closer to real world prices and performance etc. than the Tesla. Love the fact that the electric, petrol and diesel all look the same.

@RichieRouge206 4 года назад

I’m really liking Peugeots design language - saw a 508 and it looked fabulous. Think they are getting their mojo back when it comes to styling. Love the way too it’s a normal car too, as is the Corsa. I hate VAG’s design language and this is quite the antodite. Superb car. Great video and review - no typical roadtest crap.

@CabrilloTV 4 года назад

this is a good way to offer an EV side by side no visible difference, you can make a choice on the model that fits your needs, and the car is not standing from the crowd saying look at me I am an EV driver.

@seanstampley9739 4 года назад

Your shows is getting better and better every episode I watch. EV-related tech reviews, fully on-demand, high-quality camera work and editing, superb hosts and nice “tone”... Please consider including some more details on things like audio/entertainment quality, efficiency/consumption and charging capabilities (when does it start tapering, can it handle repeated fast charging without rapidgating), how does tech like lane assist and adaptive cruise work and perform, etc etc. But having that said: I’m such a big fan, absolutely keep up the good work!

Saw this video, test drove one, ordered a yellow one yesterday. It’ll be my first EV, I’ve been interested since the i3 first came out but I wanted something fairly conventional that had reasonable range. I tested a Tesla Model 3 Performance which was stunning but for that money I can run an e208 as an everyday commuter and have a fun weekend toy as well.

@samj4348 4 года назад

My napkin math shows that this will cost around $58k here for the top line. HOWEVER Peugeot Aus has no plans to release this here... They seem content with a do nothing approach which explains their decline in sales. They really could corner the market as the only competition is the leaf here at this stage, which has a smaller range and uncooled battery pack for the same price! We do certainly need EV rebates here. Tax new ICE car sales 1% pollution tax and put that into an EV sink fund of say $5k per EV sold. I still wish makers would be more bold in releasing them here though , we are getting left behind.

@Secretlyanothername 4 года назад

Converting the price means that it should reach us at about $48k for the base model. But we'll get rorted, that's absolutely certain.

@alexscarbro796 4 года назад

I can’t help but feel when I buy my first electric car, that it needs to only be designed for an EV powertrain. In other words, it has been designed without the inevitable compromises that would have to be made to also support a traditional ICE power plant. Let’s face it, Peugeot are probably doing this so that they can more gradually (cautiously?) wind down their Petrol/diesel stocks before fully committing to EV. A platform supporting petrol/diesel/EV doesn’t really help the consumer, but it does help the manufacturer during this transition period.
