The 2024 Peugeot 208 is a petrol hatchback with FWD and seating for 5. It belongs to the P21 LCI generation. The 1.2 PureTech 130 GT is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured 1.2 PureTech 130 GT version develops 130 hp and 230 Nm (170 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 8.7 seconds, which is measured, with performance geared more toward normal driving than acceleration. Top speed is listed at 206 km/h (128 mph). Its power output is about 39% below the peer average. Its 0-100 km/h time is about 21% slower than the peer average. The figures establish its straight-line performance on paper, but they do not substitute for measured braking, handling or ride-quality tests.
Fuel economy and range
The listed fuel consumption is 5.8 L/100km. Fuel-tank capacity is 41.0 litres (10.8 US gallons). Recorded CO2 emissions are 132 g/km. Consumption, emissions and range can be measured under different regional procedures, so like-for-like comparisons should use the same market and test cycle.
Dimensions and practicality
Its exterior dimensions are 4,055 mm (159.6 in) in length, 1,745 mm (68.7 in) in width, and 1,430 mm (56.3 in) in height, while the wheelbase measures 2,540 mm (100.0 in). Cargo capacity is listed at 265 litres (9.4 cu ft), expanding to 1,106 litres (39.1 cu ft) with the rear seats folded. The cabin is configured for 5 occupants. Listed curb weight is 1,195 kg (2,635 lb). That cargo volume is about 28% below the peer average. The measurements are useful for comparison, although seat comfort, access and the shape of the load area still need to be judged in person.
The model range
The recorded line-up consists of 1.2 PureTech 100 Allure and 1.2 PureTech 130 GT. Across the range, the specifications span 100 hp to 130 hp and 8.7 s to 10.2 s, while listed starting prices run from $23,500-$27,500. Drivetrain, battery or engine choice, wheels and market equipment can all change the final figures, so the version table should be used when choosing between them.
In perspective
Compared with nearby petrol hatchback models from the same period, the 2024 Peugeot 208 is strongest on price, while power and cargo capacity stand out as the principal numerical compromise. That conclusion is drawn from the recorded specifications rather than a road test. A final choice should also account for local pricing, equipment, comfort and a test drive.
