How the specs compare

This comparison sets the 2024 Peugeot 208 1.2 PureTech 100 Allure against the 2026 Nissan Leaf 52 kWh FWD. Both belong to the hatchback class, so their dimensions, performance and utility figures address a broadly similar type of car. One uses a petrol powertrain and the other a battery-electric system, so range and consumption figures need to be read in that context.
