Julie David, Managing Director of PEUGEOT UK, said: Marking 20,000 sales of the PEUGEOT 208 is a great cause of celebration. It was the first vehicle from PEUGEOT to be available with efficient diesel and petrol engines, or as a full electric variant, all under a single design with no compromise in capability. With the full electric variant accounting for more than 20% of registrations, it shows how popular and successful our strategy has been so far, and we look forward to seeing more customers behind the wheel of our growing electric line-up.

The record was set at the end of April, on the PEUGEOT test circuit in France under the strict standards, that come with the Union Technique de l’Automobile. In fact, the 208 model, that made the test was specified as a “Very Low Fuel Consumption” version. It comes with aerodynamic rear spoiler and ultra-low rolling resistance Michelin Energy Saver+ tires. All this, combined with the compact and light 208 model is the secret mixture behind the successfully done challenge. The Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR), the BlueHDi technology one more time demonstrates high performance and low consumption.

The latest PEUGEOT 208 is on sale from June in UK and offers incredible energy efficiency. In fact, it is a PEUGEOT tendency to reduce the emissions not only to the 208 models, but in general for all of the brand’s vehicles.

You know that Peugeot‘s designs have no similar. And now again the brand is pushing it’s own limits to bring us the unique “textured paint” finish. With the arrival of the Peugeot 208, the crew launches the first of it’s kind project for texture paint technology like no other. The paint itself comes in two colors: Ice Grey and Ice Silver. For even further personalization, Peugeot included the Lime Yellow and Menthol White packs. They are avaiable for interior and/or exterior.

The paint adds dynamic looks, that bring us several efforts: modern lines push even further the wonderful design of the Peugeot 208. In addition, the granular texture is easier for maintaining and adds some resistance of scratching. Next, the paint is applied by production robots in the advanced Poissy manufacturing plant, which means only high quality of the cars at any price.

The Peugeot textured paint is the first in the world that is applied on a production car and  was developed for nearly 4 years. The innovation is in the composition and application: it contains particles of silica and micro-baloons of polyamide, that combined together bring matt apperance, granual properties and a really special texture.

The color gamma contains 13 different shades, that include the Ice Grey and Ice SiIver, the solid Bianca White and Hurricane Grey and seven metallic colors. The pearlescent Satin White is also included.  The debut of the 208 also comes with two personalisation packs, that bring extras for both interior and exterior of the vehicle. The packs include some 3D-effect markings, Gloss black grille surroundings, Nera black door mirrors and other.

The Peugeot 208 will be on sale in Europe from June. There are some new addons, that include Active City Brake and added rear camera. The vehicle will be avaiable with four different engine types, that are both economical and powerful. Stay tuned for further information!
