While the petrol versions of the 208 have been on sale since this model came out in 2012, Peugeot has decided to now offer it in Australia exclusively with fully-electric powertrain.

The line-up currently starts at $12,320 for the 208 Active and ranges through to $23,650 for the range-topping 208 GTi.

Peugeot 208 Interior

The Peugeot 208's interior is… unique. As our review images show, the small diameter steering wheel is distant from the dash cluster. The dials are perched way atop the dashboard in a layout Peugeot refers to as the ‘iCockpit’. Cool, aesthetic and very French if you’re around 183cm (six foot) tall, but if you’re particularly short or particularly tall, the wheel begins to obscure vital information. Cloth seats are standard on the Active, Allure, and GT-Line grades with 'leather-appointed' trim standard on the sporty GTi flagship.

Shown above are interior details for the Peugeot 208 2019.
