The Peugeot 208 Allure Premium+ is a supermini that feels like it’s grown up without losing its sense of fun. From the first glance, it’s clear this is one of the sharpest-looking cars in its class, with crisp lines, a confident stance and just enough French flair to stand out in a crowded car park. Under the bonnet sits Peugeot’s lively 1.2-litre PureTech petrol engine, producing 100ps. It’s a cracking little unit: smooth, eager and well suited to both town driving and longer motorway runs. The manual gearbox is light and precise, making the 208 genuinely enjoyable to drive, while the Euro 6 stop/start setup helps keep running costs reassuringly sensible. Inside, the Allure Premium+ trim really earns its name. Peugeot’s i-Cockpit layout feels modern and driver-focused, with a compact steering wheel, smart digital displays and quality materials that punch above the car’s size. There’s a generous level of equipment too, giving the cabin a polished, upmarket feel that belies its supermini badge. As a five-door hatchback, the 208 is practical as well as stylish. It’s easy to live with day to day, comfortable on longer journeys and nimble enough for tight urban streets. In short, this Peugeot 208 strikes a fine balance between style, efficiency and genuine driving enjoyment — a small car that feels anything but ordinary.
