The New Peugeot 208 Leaps A Generation

The New Peugeot 208 Leaps A Generation

Date: 2012-12-19
The new Peugeot 208 hatchback is the most ambitious new model programme in the marque?s long and illustrious history, the launch of the new Peugeot 208 represents a true generation leap that sets entirely new benchmarks for this extremely competitive segment.

?With the new 208, Peugeot enters a new era, says Francis Harnie, managing director of Peugeot SA.

?It offers the most advanced design, the most sophisticated technology and the most efficient packaging yet seen in the subcompact category. The new 208 combines modernity with the spirit of the 206 and the practicality of the 207.

The front-end styling of the 208 unveils a new, particularly charismatic ?face?. Its typically feline expression is contemporary, arresting and refined. The shape of the headlights is emphasised by the LED elements and the light guides (depending on model), while complimenting the floating design of the grille.

The interior of the Peugeot 208 once again breaks established codes to offer superior levels of driving ergonomics, intuitive use and tactile appeal. In the process, it creates a more intimate relationship between car and driver.

The retail price includes a five-year/60 000 km Premium Plan, and a three-year/100 000 km warranty.

McCarty Peugeot Umhlanga have a range-topping 208 model, powered by a 1,6-litre four-cylinder engine that produces 88 kW at 6 000 r/min and 160 Nm at 4 250 r/min. Take this car for a test drive and you will surely be impressed. Call them on 031 575 9000 or pop into their showroom at 192 Ridge Road, Umhlanga Rocks and get an eyeful of this beauty.
