Performance & Drive:
All the engines of Peugeot 208 give a remarkable driving experience, but the 1.2 L Pure Tech 75 is one of the best because it is much cheaper than other engines and gives you a smooth drive. The diesel engine is also smooth and frugal. You can cruise at speeds without the engine noise disturbing your comfort, and the only noise is the wind noise in the cabin. Both the manual and automatic transmissions run the car smoothly with precise gear changes so you can enjoy a comfortable ride. The ride is smooth, especially on smoother roads, because of its torsion beam suspension at rear axles and passive suspensions. The steering wheel is light-weighted, and it’s good in handling the car by freely moving the steering wheel. The acceleration of Peugeot 208 is also remarkable; with a manual transmission, the car can accelerate 0 to 62 miles per hour in 14.9 seconds and can reach a maximum speed of 106 miles per hour while the diesel engine accelerates 0 to sixty-two miles per hour in 10.2 seconds and 1.2 L Pure Tech 130 petrol engine takes a minimum time of 8.7 seconds to reach 0 to sixty-two miles per hour. The fuel consumption of Peugeot 208 is economical as the base trim consumes 6.3 liters to 6.7 liters to travel a distance of 100 kilometers, and the diesel engine is considered to be the most economical of all as it consumes only 4.4 liters to 5 liters of diesel to travel a distance of 100 kilometers.
