Peugeot 208 2015 facelift (ENG) - Test Drive and Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 фев 2016
- Peugeot 208 debuted in 2012, and it was recently given a facelift. Peugeot 208 was the model to showcase Peugeot’s new cockpit design with a small steering wheel, and instrument cluster mounted high at the top of the dashboard. And a Polish bloke called Adam Bazydło is responsible for that. Designing the 208 engineers also tried to make the car lighter. The supermini is 7 cm shorter than the 207 it replaces, and on average over a 100 kg lighter. But despite smaller exterior dimensions there is 5 cm more for passengers inside, and the boot is 15 litres bigger - at 285 litres it’s comparable to Toyota Yaris.
This test example is powered by a 1.2 PureTech 110 hp engine.

Your french and engine impressions are spot on. Thanks for the laughs. Great review!
hahaha the french accent was brilliant 👍👍
its the same joke made in car wow. isnt that weird
I would have never thought I'd watch a Polish car review but now I watch all of your reviews. Nice work. Informative fun comprehensive review... You're among the best :)
I test drove the 1.2 turbo and it was very nice, much more luxurious than I expected. Definitely a good choice.
Awesome video mate, thanks for helping us to decide for new car! (also your funny french speech killed us :D)
I like your review and very informative. The 208 is actually very good car. Love the 1.2 puretech engine.
Great review! Now I want the car.
Awesome review, Marek! Loved the French impression. Haha
My favourite (in reasonable price level) is still Fiesta. Or Mazda 2.
The "forgotten mirrors" sketch was nice :)
I drove the original 208 and thought it was the best supermini of them all. Granted, considering the competition in this segment preferences are highly subjective.
i love when you tell the tru abut down site off the car, like the Mazda 3 review you make. I like you video.
keep up the god work :)
good review!
Mon Dieu ! Great review ! as usual :)
LMFAO I smashed that like button when you started your french impression
First I watched this review in Polish but wanted to see your french accent in english haha it was fun
Great review Mark thank you. I own a beautiful 208 Gti and I really can't understand what all the fuss about not being able to see the dash is about. I see mine fine. Keep up the great work. Have you done a review on a gti yet?
Great review, like always. And just before that I watched the Top Gear s22 Peugeot special, so I laughed my ass off listening to your french accent... You would have been OK at that meeting enactment.
Nice review, good English, respect
like your review...
Great! I was looking for a small car like this. I tested the new Jazz and think by Honda you getting more car for the money... But now I will test the Peugeot also.... think it is more fun to drive :)
if you get honda please no jazz every other car they make is great not jazz , its pathetic
lmao i loed thi review, im hoping to get this once i get started with my lesson
Thanks for mentioning the annoying led lights in the roof when driving at night. That would drive me nuts! Won’t get that version
The stop-start in my 208 1.6 e-HDi from late 2012 is actually rather pleasant in comparison, either that or I have lower standards.
Thank you Marek for this review again. The motor seems to be very good. It is strong, you don' t need high revs and can save fuel. 6,2 liters per 100 km are quite good, because you said you had driven the car a little sportier. Special thanks for your clarifying
comment about the position of seat, steering wheel and dials. German testers are not willing to accept that Peugeot does it just different. I am fed up with this criticizing of the steering wheel position ( auto motor und sport, Autobild and other German car magazines). 5 speed manual transmission is also just fine in my opinion. I don' t want to shift more, I want to shift less! I am still very satisfied with my prefacelift Peugeot 208 ehdi 92. The car is just perfect for me and my wife. Diesel consumption 4 to 4,5 liters per 100 km, smooth start stop system that stops the engine below 20 km per hour ( unfortunately Peugeot changed the system in the facelift :-(), good comfort, nice shifting, pleasing design in interior and exterior, small gocart steering wheel, perfect position of the dials (like a head up display), etc. I could go on and tell more positive aspects, but nobody should fall asleep reading too long comments ;-)
Thank you for a fair test!
I'm currently driving the new C3 1.2 110hp with a 5 speed manual. The shifts are very long, but that means you can drive in 3rd or 4th most of the time, unlike most cars these days, where the computer tells you to shift in 6th at 55 km/h. 208 is a decent car. Based on what Peugeot has done with the new 3008, I have high hopes for the next generation 208.
Marek Drives The 3008 is a great car, I have already seen it at my Peugeot/Citroën dealer. Is far as I am informed Peugeot is going to make the next generation 208 more premium than the current model. But I can also imagine to buy the new C3, also with the 110 hp petrol engine, because my leasing contract on my 208 runs out in March 2018. At that time the new generation 208 probably won' t be on the market yet.
How do you like the new C3 besides the engine and the shifting? Is it more comfortable than the 208?
Without spoiling the review, it has a lot of quirks.
Marek Drives Ok, so I am looking forward to watching the review.
Wonderful, thanks. Also very cultured British accent, I like it. I'm about to buy one of these, and it seems I won't be commiting a serious mistake. It's probably going to be my favourite supermini soon. I currently still drive a 207SW with an old 1.4L petrol engine, and it's just "meh". Nothing really wrong with, but nothing exciting, either.
My all-time favourite, though, is still my first car, a Peugeot 205 GRD, built in 1985. Consumed just below 5 L/100 km if driven sensibly, and surprisingly agile and quiet for an 80's diesel; at a time when a Golf diesel still sounded like a tractor.
I think what appeals to most French car buyers is the reasonable prices and good looks
Peugeot screwed me once with the 108. They told me the connectivity to my smartphone will work within a few weeks and it still doesn't work. So I have a big electronic clock in the middle of my dashboard.
The Bluetooth system sucks too.
No more Peugeot pour moi
I like your reviews and thanks for the good work.
Greetings from a Pole in the Holy Land...
Oh yes, 108/Aygo/C1 are supposed to support MirrorLink, but it works only on a couple of Samsung phones.
Do you have any comparison on this model 208 and the new 208GT Line model (Auto) that I am thinking of buying in Melbourne Australia. I only watch your reviews as they talk my language so to speak.. Also keep up your usual wit. Sacre bleu...
Hi, we don't have GT Line for 208 in Poland. AFAIK it's just a trim level. We have three basic trims, and then go straight to GTi.
Also, I don't recall ever driving a small Peugeot with automatic transmission. Not very popular in Europe, so press fleets don't order them.
Great review and a great little car! But you can actually change the intensity of the LED ambient light on the roof with the button located on the dashboard,between your speedo and your RPM meter. :)
+Juraj KG (candyman3108) Are you sure? I tried it, and I think it worked only for the dials and AC panel.
+Marek Drives On my 2014 Pug 2008, I can dim the panoramic roof lights by switching the mentioned button on the dashboard,but as You said, the brightness of the instrument cluster as well as the AC panel would be darker. Maybe in the FL 208 the situation is different due to the fact that the 208,unlike the crossover, doesn't have the blue LED dials ( I reckon you remember them from the 2008 you drove earlier on). However, I have a dedicated menu in the Configuration of the car where I can change the direct intesity of the blue LED lights on the roof as well as the floor lights in the front of the car. Although I should point out that I have the older version of the screen software without the TPMS and the newer looking interface which you had here in this particular example. Maybe that's the issue?
Juraj KG I tried discussing different type of displays and onboard computers with Peugeot, and they seem to be somewhat confused. Too many variants depending on model and trim. Which is strange, because I'd expect them to try unifying certain components.
+Marek Drives Exactly. Remember the useless digital speedo on the 308? Actually that car has two display variants, depending on the trim level... If you ordered the car with the Active Cruise Control, you had the better looking display with Trip 1 ,Trip 2, Instant fuel consumption and media input respectively, and if you didn't order all that,you had the stupid looking digital speedo. The same thing is in the new 2008. They are still searching for themselves in the big world of infotaintment systems. I don't know what's your opinion on the so called Mirror Link thingy in the new 208 , since you didn';t mention in the review. Is it intuitive or you didn't bother with it at all?
+Juraj KG (candyman3108) I forgot to film it. I had it in the screen, I've done all the other stuff, and this was the last shot. And I forgot.
cool small car :D
Marek, you are wrong about steering wheel height. It's position is mistakenly regulated. Hold the wheel at a clock position "15 past eleven", then lift your fists as high as your shoulders are. That's the correct position of your steering wheel, recommended by professional drivers.
+Vytautas Gečas I know what you mean, but in 208 there is no way to have the wheel this high. It is smaller, and in its highest setting it obstructs the dials.
+Vytautas Gečas what? That's way too high in any car!
Definitely not how I was taught.
I have it for a year it is a good car but the parts are very expensive.
i was waiting for this, thanks. How about the insulation compared to its rivals?
+hsyetkin Average. Better than Fabia, similar to Mazda2.
Im between 207 and 208 for my first car.. 207 is much cheaper, but is it worth it?? 🤔
2015 and Peugeot manages to make an ok 5 speed manual XD, I really do not like the infotainment system, it doesn't blend with the cockpit. it's like if the cockpit was designed for another screen but this was cheaper so they glued this onto it. After-all it's a good little car with a bad badge. waiting for next week mx-5! PS: I should have fixed the privacy settings.
+Ottavianus Augustus If I can post this reply, then it's fixed ;)
A "Little Red Cars" from France and Italy are still popular among flashy and not very experienced ladies, messing with pedals and right and left directions from time to time ;-)
Meanwhile a good old boring VW is still more in demand here in Saint Petersburg.
+DoriKei The last time I visited Saint Petersburg I've seen more Rolls and Bentleys on one street, than in Dubai ;)
DoriKei I laughed so hard because it's true ahaha
what is the part on the dashboard where it says 0, 1/2 then 1. i have a flashing orange cirlce beside the 0 on my dashboard. can you tell me what it means.
If I were you I'd check the 710 container under the bonnet just in case.
Hey, it's my car O:
Mr. Marek, this or the Mazda 2?
I have no favourite supermini. I'd probably go for 208, because it's cheaper.
love it but .....
can't have it....😣
Now you can xd
What is your opinion of the 82 horse power 1.2l engine
Underpowered.
As for the rest, you have to look at maintenance history. Timing belt should be replaced much earlier, than manufacturer suggests, so a 2015 model with a 100k km on the clock should have this changed NOW. The car will probably be going through its second drive belt, and second set of spark plugs by now, so check when these were replaced. Early examples had crankshafts replaced under warranty. Maintenance is cheap, but necessary.
Thanks Marek, I have just bought mine, is a 2018 model with 15,500 miles, annual services all done by the local Peugeot dealership. I have 30 days to decide if i want to keep the car i bought, or change it for another car of equal or higher value of what i paid for my car within that dealership.
Keep up the good work, your in depth reviews and insight are so informative,keep up the good work.
@@markdigitalmarketer Peugeot has a very liberal service schedule for this engine. Spark plugs and drive belt are not officially due for at least another 15-20k miles, but should probably be replaced soonish. I assume it had its annual oil/filter change?
Yes, it had a major service b4 i bought it. I had a 1.4 HDi 207 b4 for 11 years, good car, never let me down until the fuel pump stopped working in the fuel tank, was told it was an uneconomical repair, so was forced into buying another car.
I had intended buying another diesel, but with new taxes and legislation coming in the UK soon about diesels, i decided to buy a petrol model.
Hi Marek, just thought i”d let you know i got rid of my Allure 82 bhp back to the dealer, as in your words, it is underpowered as i discovered on a few occasion. I got a full refund ,and paid the difference in buying a 1 year old new shape 208 Allure 100hp, with quite a few extras on it i might add, incl the 3D i cockpit instrument panel, and the 10 inch infotainment screen with Satnav, as it was an ex demonstrator. Much nicer car to driver, with a lot more power. I think the 5 speed gearbox on my 82HP Allure was a nicer gearbox to use, but I’m getting on with the 6 speed box on my new car ver well.
That's what I like about French cars! They are like the French people: not perfect, but endearing. ;-) A Japanese engineer would probably commit Harakiri if he had forgotten the mirrors. xD
thank you for the Car My fother hol That car
Every car needs 6 speed manual gearbox revving 2000rpm at 120km/h for motorway trips.
+Sener Songur mine 5 speed gets to 3800 and it has 100 HP :S
Where is the cd player?
+TL CB probably there is no cd player. Maybe as an option.
Marek Drives oh no! I want a cd player in my car
So 90s ;)
In my pre facelift 208 the cd player was an option and it's in the glove box
@@MarekDrives CD players are better than smartphone music :-)
Shouldn't it be the Peugeot 209?
+Christian Manuel Peugeot ran out of numbers. A couple of years ago they announced all small cars will be called 108, superminis 208, compacts 308, family cars 508, and so on. The 308 is now in its second generation.
BMW i3
lol - french accent
why you do the exact same joke like carwow?
Link please.
SORRY my big mistake. He is talking about the wheel and you about the plastic and the mirror. ruclips.net/video/umdmfWcWR6Y/видео.html. It starts at 4:15.
