Maybe, but my e2008 was in for its 8000 mile service last week & I drove a semi-auto petrol 208, it was awful going back to a semi auto gearbox, it was changing gears whilst driving onto roundabouts which I really hate & it stank of exhaust fumes, things you’d never notice until you’ve been driving an EV for a while, a bit of an eye-opener. As the controls between the e2008 & 208 are almost identical it was a great opportunity to compare. Rumour has it that the next model update of the 208 will be all electric & it makes sense. As for the BMW iX3, there are better EVs out there at the £58k asking price, such as a Tesla and it’s all about where you can charge an EV at the moment.
The 208 is the best selling car in Europe currently. Hopefully Peugeot will number crunch the sales figures & keep an ICE version when face-lifted. Stunning looking car if you choose it in the right colour & trim! I’m not surprised it was the European Car of the Year 2020. Peugeot’s designers should be praised for their designs lately. Have you seen the all-new 308 in that metallic green yet?
“Unboring The Future” indeed…
