The Peugeot 208 has established itself over time as a benchmark in its market segment. An essential car, the city car of the Lion brand has been seen everywhere in Europe for years. And why not let yourself be tempted by this urban icon? We suggest you take a look back at the different areas in which the Peugeot 208 makes real differences on the one hand, but also at what could well be the best deal for you on this model on the other hand: the second-hand.
The Peugeot 208: the city car par excellence
The attractiveness of the 208 is no longer in doubt and there are many reasons for this. This compact and agile city car offers a range of features combining performance and driving comfort. Indeed, because it is available in multiple versions, it can satisfy those who live the urban experience daily.
In terms of habitability first, since it comes in 3 or 5 doors, offering increased possibilities for shared mobility. In terms of the engine, it is not left behind, since it is possible to find it in the following versions:
- petrol in 75, 100, and 130 horsepower;
- 100 horsepower diesel;
- electric in 136 horsepower.
Note that the 100 and 130-horsepower engines are mated to an eight-speed automatic gearbox: a guarantee of performance and reliability in terms of engine speed and fuel consumption.
In terms of finishes and interior design, no fewer than 7 specific series have been produced since 2012: enough to reasonably find what you are looking for in terms of equipment, whether it be driving assistance, safety, or entertainment.
The Peugeot 208 opportunity: everything to gain for future buyers
If the economic interest of the used car is no longer to be demonstrated, it is reinforced in the case of a Peugeot 208 second-hand and for two main reasons. The first is perfectly historical and natural for the Lion brand and is due to the recognized reliability of its engines. The Peugeot 208 benefits from PureTech and BlueHDi versions for its non-electric versions which allow to chain hundreds of thousands of kilometers without any particular problem, within the framework of normal and effective maintenance.
The second point is what the reconditioning of such a vehicle can offer you. Practiced within the major automobile group to which Peugeot now belongs, reconditioning offers strong guarantees to buyers who would like to be tempted. Indeed, there are dozens of control points checked by experienced specialists of the brand: from tires to brake pads and discs, including oil changes and other key components of a proper overhaul, it is the assurance of a car in perfect working order that is given to buyers.
So, the opportunity offers the best of both worlds: a competitive price and the pleasure of a fully reconditioned vehicle. The 208 is, therefore, a safe bet for your everyday urban journeys, and for a long time.
