Why the Peugeot 208 is a great all-rounder
Driving Experience
The 208 is agile and responsive around town, yet stable and relaxed on longer journeys. It offers light steering, smooth gear changes and good visibility, making it perfect for new drivers or anyone looking for hassle-free motoring. Peugeot’s suspension setup is tuned for comfort, soaking up potholes and bumps with ease.
The range includes punchy petrol engines, frugal diesels and the all-electric e-208, giving you plenty of options to suit your driving needs and lifestyle. Whichever you choose, the 208 remains confident, composed and surprisingly refined for its size.
Interior Comfort and Design
Step inside and you’ll find one of the most futuristic interiors in the supermini class. Peugeot’s i-Cockpit design places a compact steering wheel below the digital driver display, creating a sporty and immersive feel. Materials are high quality, and the cabin is built with attention to detail typically found in larger, more expensive cars.
There’s enough space for four adults, and the boot is practical too, offering around 311 litres – perfect for shopping, luggage or a pushchair. Rear seats split and fold to extend capacity for bulkier items.
Technology
Even older 208 models are packed with features. Expect a central touchscreen, DAB radio, Bluetooth, cruise control and air con as standard. Mid and higher trims add Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, digital instruments, parking sensors, reversing cameras and sat nav. The e-208 comes with fast-charging capability and clever range-saving tools built in.
Body Style and Trim Levels
The Peugeot 208 is available as a stylish five-door hatchback with a sharp, contemporary exterior that stands out from the crowd. Its bold front grille, LED lighting and sculpted lines give it a premium look well above its price point.
Popular trim levels include:
- Active – Entry-level with touchscreen infotainment, Bluetooth, cruise control and LED daytime running lights.
- Allure – Adds larger alloys, a rear camera, upgraded upholstery, and keyless entry.
- GT Line – Sportier look and feel, with black styling accents, ambient lighting and part-leather trim.
- GT – Range-topper with full digital instrument cluster, upgraded infotainment, premium interior details and advanced driver assist features.
- e-208 – Fully electric model available across trim levels, offering zero-emissions driving with up to 225 miles of range (WLTP) and rapid-charging support.

FAQs
No. Carsa does not sell Category write-off vehicles. Every car we sell goes through an official Auto Trader Provenance Check, which confirms there's no outstanding finance, theft or write-off history, and verifies the mileage is accurate.
The V5C logbook is sent to you directly by the DVLA after we register the car in your name. You'll usually receive it within 4 weeks.
You don't need the V5C to drive or tax your car in the meantime. If it's been more than 4 weeks and you haven't received it, contact the DVLA directly.
If you can't make your appointment, please let us know as soon as possible so we can reschedule or cancel it for you.
If you don't turn up, your reservation fee won't be refunded. The fee is only refunded when you attend your appointment.
To change or cancel your appointment, please get in touch via our contact page.
When a car shows as 'in preparation', it means it's still going through our checks and reconditioning process. During this time, the car can't be reserved or booked for a test drive.
We would recommend leaving an enquiry on the car's page. This will ensure you are notified when the vehicle is ready.
Cars come with a manufacturer warranty when new, usually lasting a set number of years or miles. How much cover is left will depend on the car’s age, mileage and the manufacturer’s terms, so we can’t guarantee this for every vehicle. The best way to confirm the exact cover is to check directly with the manufacturer.
If you’d like extra cover, we have warranty products available at the time of purchase.
A lot of our vehicles do come with two keys, but we can only guarantee that each car has at least one. If the car has two keys, we’ll provide both.Because keys can occasionally be misplaced or damaged during transport or preparation, we can only confirm the exact number at the point of test drive. To secure your car for a test drive, simply find it on our website and book with a refundable deposit.
All electric cars use manufacturer-made batteries that are designed to last many years. Modern electric car batteries are carefully managed with cooling systems and safety margins, so they usually last for the lifetime of the car. We don’t provide battery health reports ourselves, so for the most up-to-date details on battery health or warranty cover, please check directly with the manufacturer.
You’ll need to bring your driving licence. If you’re part exchanging, please also bring your V5, service documents, and spare key. If you’re part exchanging and have a private plate, please refer to this FAQ about part exchanging with a private plate
