Overview

This trim offers a brilliant blend of efficiency and fun, making it a seriously tempting EV package for those wanting a compact yet premium electric experience.
What's New for 2025?
For 2025, the e-208 51 kWh primarily carries forward its major 2023/2024 model year refresh. This was a game-changer, bringing a more potent 115 kW electric motor and the larger 51 kWh battery (48.1 kWh usable), significantly boosting both performance and that all-important range. The exterior got a nip-and-tuck with Peugeot's latest "claw" light signature and new grille, plus refreshed alloy designs. Inside, the i-Cockpit often features an upgraded 10-inch touchscreen, enhancing the tech vibe. It’s the e-208, but better where it counts!
Design & Exterior
The e-208 51 kWh is a proper head-turner, rocking Peugeot's aggressive and modern design language. Think sharp lines, a distinctive front grille featuring the new brand emblem, and those signature 'three-claw' LED daytime running lights that look ace, matched by full LED taillights. This specific trim often boasts stylish alloy wheels. It’s compact but has presence, measuring 4055 mm in length, 1765 mm in width (excluding mirrors), and 1430 mm in height. Body-coloured door handles and gloss black mirror caps often add to its sophisticated city slicker look.
Interior, Tech & Cargo
Step inside the e-208 51 kWh and you're greeted by Peugeot's fantastic i-Cockpit®. Expect quality materials for its class, a sporty small steering wheel, and often a configurable 3D digital instrument cluster. A central touchscreen (typically 10-inch on this spec) handles infotainment, usually with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Passenger space is decent for a supermini, seating five. Boot space is 265 litres, expanding to a useful 1106 litres with seats down. Sadly, there’s no frunk for your charge cables, but the cabin feels pretty posh.
Performance & Driving Experience
This e-208 is no slouch! With its front-wheel drive (FWD) setup and a single Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) churning out 115 kW and 260 Nm of instant torque, it zips from 0-100 km/h in a nippy 8.2 seconds. Top speed is capped at 150 km/h. It's a hoot to drive in town, with responsive steering and a generally comfortable ride. Selectable driving modes tweak responsiveness, and the 'B' mode for stronger regenerative braking helps claw back some energy efficiently, making one-pedal driving almost possible in city traffic.
Range, Battery & Charging
The e-208 51 kWh features a 48.1 kWh usable battery (51 kWh nominal), delivering a Green Cars Compare estimated real-world range of 340 km – pretty handy for daily duties and beyond. Energy consumption is a respectable 7.07 km/kWh. For AC charging via its CCS Type 2 port, it comes with a standard 7.4 kW on-board charger (full in ~6.5 hours), with an 11 kW option cutting that to ~4.5 hours. DC fast charging hits a peak of 100 kW, meaning a 10-80% top-up can be done in around 25-30 minutes.
Safety & Driver-Assistance Features
While the latest e-208 51 kWh iteration awaits a specific Euro NCAP re-evaluation, the Peugeot 208 platform previously scored 4 stars (2019). This trim typically includes a solid suite of safety tech such as Active Safety Brake, lane keeping assist, speed limit recognition, and multiple airbags. Depending on the specific grade or optional packs chosen in the EU market, buyers can often add adaptive cruise control with stop & go functionality, blind-spot monitoring, and advanced parking assistance systems for extra peace of mind on the road.
Warranty & Maintenance Coverage
Peugeot generally provides a 2-year/unlimited kilometre vehicle warranty in Europe, though this can vary by country with some offering longer terms or mileage caps. The crucial high-voltage battery is covered for 8 years or 160,000 km, guaranteeing at least 70% of its original charge capacity. Powertrain warranty typically mirrors the vehicle's basic cover. EVs like the e-208 benefit from reduced maintenance needs. For precise local warranty and any complimentary maintenance offers, it's best to consult your European Peugeot dealer.
