New Peugeot 208 and 2008 GT Premium trim adds Alcantara, more tech and boosted EV range
A new Peugeot 208 is set to arrive next year, but the French firm is still looking to keep the current model competitive - adding a new GT Premium version and increasing the range of the all-electric E-208 to a maximum of 268 miles. The new GT Premium trim is also offered in the 208's crossover sibling, the 2008, representing the most lavish and best-equipped edition in the line-up. Available to order now, the 208 GT Premium is priced from £28,295 with a 1.2-litre PureTech petrol engine, from £30,100 as a Hybrid, and from £34,000 for the E-208. The 2008 GT Premium is priced at £35,095 with the 128bhp PureTech petrol, £35,870 in Hybrid guise, and £39,310 for the electric E-2008.

Peugeot's driver assist pack plus also comes as standard, adding adaptive cruise control with stop and go functionality and active lane-keep assist. On the outside, the 208 GT Premium gets 17-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels (the 2008 gets 18-inch wheels), three-claw daytime running lights and aluminium door sills with Peugeot lettering. Both the E-208 and E-2008 GT Premium get a heat pump as standard, which not only reduces energy consumption in colder months, but also has improved the range in the E-208 by 14 miles to 268 miles - improving on the new Vauxhall Corsa Electric Long Range and its 266-mile maximum. The 7kW and optional 11kW onboard chargers now come with bi-directional Vehicle-to-load capability on both the E-208 and E-2008 GT Premium models. The 208 Hybrid is offered in two states: there's a new 109bhp version replacing the old 99bhp model, and a 144bhp Hybrid 145 edition replacing the Hybrid 134. The latter has only just arrived on Stellantis products this year and in the 208 it's good for a 0-62mph time of 8.1 seconds while delivering claimed efficiency of up to 65mpg. The 2008 Hybrid is only offered with the more powerful of the two powertrains. Buy a car with Auto Express.

Details of the incident outside RCDE Stadium A white Peugeot 208 reportedly driven by a woman spun out of control and drove into the fans outside the entrance of the stadium. The taxi was said to have driven in fits and starts, forwards and backwards, before it stopped. Thirteen were injured, nine slightly, four less seriously. Around a dozen are believed to have been injured, but none seriously, after a driver lost control of their vehicle and ploughed into fans prior to the game. The event has understandably spooked all those associated with the fans at the RCDE stadium, with increased security reported around the ground. The club and local officials have since revealed that they would review and add more elements to crowd safety protocols to ensure such an incident does not repeat itself.

Car Deal Alert! New Peugeot 208 Style shaves £5,000 off supermini's starting price
The current-generation Peugeot 208 has been one of our favourite superminis since it arrived in 2019, though it's been positioned towards the top of the segment in terms of pricing and overall premium appeal. Now, bringing the 208 down to more affordable levels is the new 'Style' trim - which has just gone on sale from £19,995. Advertisement - Article continues below Sitting beneath the £20,000 mark, the Peugeot 208 Style is significantly cheaper than the previous entry-level 208 Allure model, which costs £24,645. The 208 Style also costs less than the cheapest Skoda Fabia (£20,515) and the £20,015 SEAT Ibiza, though its Stellantis sibling, the Vauxhall Corsa still comes in cheaper at £18,690. There's just one powertrain offered on the 208 Style - a 1.2-litre turbocharged 'Puretech' three-cylinder petrol with 99bhp and 205Nm of torque. It's only available elsewhere in the 208 range if you choose the Allure trim and it's mated to a six-speed manual transmission with stop/start functionality to deliver a combined efficiency figure of 58.2mpg. The Peugeot 208 Style might be the base-level version, but it's not a case of plastic bumpers and wind-up windows with this budget model. Yes, there are 16-inch steel wheels, but they have diamond-cut effect trims and there's a load of bespoke 'Style' badges with orange accents in the cabin. Four metallic paint shades are offered including Cumulus Grey, Nera Black and a new Okenite White along with the no-cost option of Agueda Yellow. Peugeot's distinctive 'claw' LED lights also feature at the front. Skip advert Advertisement - Article continues below Inside there's a leather steering wheel, cloth seats, automatic air-conditioning, rear parking sensors and one-touch front and rear electric windows. Peugeot's i-Cockpit dash layout remains with a small, sporty steering wheel, though you only get a 3.5-inch driver's display instead of the 10-inch unit in other 208 trim levels. You do at least get the same 10-inch central touchscreen as the rest of the range. Along with the launch of the 208 Style, Peugeot has tweaked hybrid and pure-electric versions of the 208. The 208 Hybrid, which is available on Allure, GT and GT Premium, comes with two power outputs - though both variants have been boosted. The lesser-powered offering increases its output from 99bhp to 109bhp and the other goes from 134bhp to 144bhp. Both 208 Hybrid models still come with a six-speed automatic transmission. The all-electric E-208's equipment list has been amended as well. The electric supermini now gets bi-directional functionality for its 7kW and optional 11kW onboard chargers so it can be used to send power to your home. Though this is exclusively offered on the 51kWh battery model. See our Peugeot 208 deals Take a look at the Peugeot 208 deal or click above to see all our latest electric Audi Q4 e-tron deals...
