Peugeot 208 Facelift

All the engines are now Euro 6 compliant, with the 75hp 1.6-litre BlueHDi being the "cleanest" model in its class, achieving 94.2mpg UK and just 79g/km of CO2. The same engine is offered in 100hp and 120hp versions. Most of the petrol engines are now three-cylinders, starting from the 68hp 1.0-litre, then going up to the 82hp 1.2-litre and the turbocharged 110hp 1.2-litre which returns 103g/km when mated to a five-speed manual.

The Peugeot 208 GTI is offered only as a three-door in three trims: GTI, GTI Prestige and GTI by Peugeot Sport. The latter carries the same treatment as the limited edition 208 GTI 30th Anniversary, after the universal appraisal of press and audience.

A set of new 16 and 17 inch wheel options as well as a refreshed range of 13 different paint finishes, which includes the so-called textured paint, are among the other changes while for the first time Peugeot is offering two interior and two exterior personalization packs, available in Menthol White or Lime Yellow.
