Peugeot 208: Now with a range of 433 km-e-mobility has won!

The Peugeot 208, the smallest model of the lion brand, presents itself with a number of technical improvements that strengthen its place in the increasingly electrified automotive market. According to oe24.at , the 208 was first introduced in 2012 and has since passed a significant development. With the appearance of the second generation in 2019, the model was not only equipped with the modernized digital instruments of the i-cockpit, but also taken the diesel version from the market, which strengthened the focus on alternative drive types.

The new Peugeot 208 is available with an extensive drive portfolio, which includes combustion engines, mild hybrids and fully electric variants. The technical details are convincing: a 1.2 l-r3 petrol engine, mild hybrid and battery electric engines are available, with services between 100 and 156 hp. Particularly noteworthy is the new 54 kWh battery of the fully electric drive, which has increased the range up to 433 kilometers, a small progress compared to the previous 410 km.

sustainability and mobility

The automotive industry is currently facing massive change, significantly influenced by companies such as Tesla and the demand for electric vehicles. In Europe, the demand for electric cars slowed down in 2024, while sales increase significantly in China, especially in favor of local manufacturers such as BYD. Established car manufacturers such as Volkswagen and Ford are difficult to effectively make their switch to e-mobility, which leads to a loss of market shares. These trends were documented by Statista

artificial intelligence is also becoming more important in the industry, both in autonomous vehicles and in digital equipment. With the development of the "Software-Defined Vehicle", new technology fields focus on the need for investments in drive lines, advanced assistance systems and networking. This technological change means that traditional suppliers come under pressure, while the demand for the best batteries, semiconductors and software increases.
