After 50 years since the creation of this line of utility cars, Peugeot makes 100% electric mobility available to many more people with the e-208, which opens a new era for the city cars of the lion brand. The French brand launched its first modern city car, the Peugeot 104, in 1972. Since then, no less than ten generations and 25 million ‘mini lions’ have hit the road . With more than one ‘sacred’ number. A city car is not just a car for the city. It is also often the model that often gives access to the car, to mobility, to a form of freedom. With the 25 million city cars produced over the last half century, Peugeot has given several generations of motorists the opportunity to get behind the wheel for the first time. With the e-208, Peugeot also makes electric mobility accessible thanks to the five zeros of the electric vehicle: zero emissions, zero noise, zero vibrations, zero odors and zero gear changes. These five zeros, represented by the e-208, perfectly summarize the new, sustainable and environmentally friendly mobility. The absence of emissions, noise, vibrations, gear changes and odors related to combustion is synonymous with an electric vehicle. These characteristics allow you to get the most out of the 50 kWh battery it has. With a range of 340 kilometres , it covers the daily needs of most users, both in the city and on longer journeys.
Thus, between the Peugeot 104 of 1972 and the Peugeot 208 of today, there have been ten generations of urban models in the Leon range. The goals have always been the same : to offer cars that give the greatest number of people access to comfortable, safe, practical, stylish mobility, and today, that mobility is quieter and cleaner than ever. And the 104, a versatile yet compact car, set the tone for this series. In order to meet the needs of its customers as precisely as possible, Peugeot has always offered two types of small vehicles in its range: pure urban and multi-purpose urban. We remember them!
