The Peugeot 208 is known for its stylish exterior design, which includes a bold front grille with a chrome effect, sharp three-claw LED headlights, and refined body lines. It is considered to have a high-quality and premium-feeling interior for a car in its class. The 208 is not the most practical option in its class, with rear legroom and boot space being average and a narrow boot opening. The 1.2 PureTech MHEV engines offer improved fuel economy compared to standard petrol engines, with official figures up to 54 mpg. The ride comfort of the Peugeot 208 is noted as a strong point, dealing well with bumps in the road, particularly at higher speeds.
