Review of the 2020 Peugeot 208 1.2 PureTech 130 Allure 5dr EAT8, The 2020 Peugeot 208 1.2 PureTech 130 Allure 5dr EAT8 is a striking hatchback that brings a blend of style, performance, and practicality to the supermini segment. Positioned as one of Peugeot's best offerings in recent years, it competes with cars like the Ford Fiesta and Volkswagen Polo but stands out with its distinctive design and premium feel., Exterior Design and Styling, Peugeot has put a strong emphasis on design, and it shows with the 208. The sharp, feline-inspired front end with claw-like LED daytime running lights, large grille, and sculpted bodywork make it one of the most attractive hatchbacks on the market. The Allure trim sits just below the GT Line, offering a good balance of style without the higher price tag. The car's compact dimensions, sporty stance, and eye-catching alloy wheels give it a premium look that rivals many more expensive models., Interior and Comfort, Step inside, and the Peugeot 208 impresses with its modern, high-tech cabin. The Allure trim comes equipped with Peugeot's innovative i-Cockpit, which includes a small, low-set steering wheel, a 10-inch digital instrument cluster, and a large central touchscreen. This design may take some getting used to, especially the small steering wheel, but it gives the interior a futuristic feel. The materials used are high quality, with soft-touch surfaces and a smart, well-organized layout. It feels more upmarket compared to most superminis in this class., Performance and Handling, Under the hood, the 1.2-litre PureTech 130 petrol engine is a real highlight. This three-cylinder turbocharged unit produces 130 PS, giving the 208 plenty of zip. It's responsive and eager, providing enough power for both city driving and motorway cruising. The engine is smooth and refined, with very little of the typical three-cylinder thrum that can sometimes intrude in smaller engines. , Black Half Leather interior, Black, £13,300
