Information on repair and maintenance of Peugeot 208 cars electronically
The Peugeot 208 is a B-segment passenger car produced by the French manufacturer Peugeot. It went on sale in March 2012 in Europe and in 2013 in America to replace the Peugeot 207. This model is smaller than its predecessor, similar in size to the Citroën DS3 and was introduced at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show.
The base model is made from 25% recycled or natural materials, and its light weight allows it to use less fuel and emit less carbon dioxide.
The first generation Peugeot 208 was produced from 2012 to 2019 (2020 in Brazil). In June 2015, all models underwent a facelift. In March 2019, the successor to the second generation Peugeot 208 model was presented at the Geneva Motor Show.
The 208 range is made up of a variety of finishes named as Active, Signature, Tech Edition, GT-Line, GTi, and special editions.
The front-wheel drive compact car Peugeot 208 is offered in two body styles: three-door and five-door. This hatchback has little in common with its predecessor, not only externally, but also constructively. The car is built on the PSA PF1 platform.
It is shorter than the Peugeot 207 by 60 mm at the front and 10 mm at the rear, the width has decreased by 10 mm, but inside the car is even bulkier than its predecessor. Due to the successful internal layout, the manufacturer increased the cabin area by 50 mm in the rear seat area, and also added about 15 liters of trunk (285 l).
The weight of the car has also decreased compared to its predecessor by 110-173 kilograms, depending on the configuration. Peugeot 208 has high aerodynamic performance (Cx - from 0.29, SCx - from 0.61).
The appearance of the car, regardless of whether it is a three-door or a five-door version, fits perfectly into the architecture of the capital. As conceived by French designers, the Peugeot 208 should emphasize youth and individuality.
The most memorable design elements were headlights of a very original shape, a wide radiator grille, an elegantly executed hood and embossed stamping along the body. The interior is more spacious than the Peugeot 207.
Legroom for rear passengers has increased by 5 cm at knee level. The interior design echoes the fast-paced body design: cat-eye ventilation grilles, graceful door handles, and a stylish gear lever. Designers pay special attention to lighting. Soft white instrument lighting and bluish - for the panoramic roof, which is offered in rich trim levels.
The driver's workplace provides absolute visibility and intuitiveness of control. It is built around a small steering wheel, a wide touchscreen display and a dashboard at driver's eye level, which allows you to look at the indicators not above the steering wheel rim, but on top of it.
The Peugeot 208 can be powered by one of eight engines. Three diesels from 68 to 115 horsepower and five petrols from 68 to 156 horsepower. Two three-cylinder petrol engines with variable valve timing - 1.0 VTi and 1.2 VTi, 1.6-liter VTi, two turbocharged 1.6-liter THP, two diesel semi-hybrid 1.4 and 1.6-liter and conventional diesel 1.4 liter engines.
