It’s nearly three years since the Peugeot 208 arrived in the UK, so it’s time for a bit of a facelift for 2015 with a couple of new models, cosmetic tweaks and engine updates.

The cosmetic changes follow the usual facelift norms, with a new front bumper with fogs, more chrome and a wider grill at the front as well as two-tone headlights with a new LED signature on all but the entry-level models. At the back the LED tail lights get an update and there’s some new alloys on offer.

Inside, Peugeot has fitted more upmarket materials and the 7″ infotainment now gets Connected Apps for Smartphones. There’s also the option of stuff like reversing camera and Active Brake as well as a bigger range of customisation options.

The two new models are the GT Line and GTi by Peugeot, with the GT Line getting a red highlighted grill, gloss black highlights, 17″ alloys and contrast stitching. The GTi by Peugeot is essentially the 208 GTio 30th Anniversary model turned in to a production model. The standard GTi continues.

Engine options for the 208 are all now Euro 6, and all the diesels sport emissions below 95g/km, with stop/start as standard (apart from the 75bhp diesel) and the petrol range now includes the 3-cylinder Vti with 110bhp.

The 2015 Peugeot 208 will debut at the Geneva Motor Show next month and be in Peugeot’s UK dealers in June. Prices are expected to be announced before Geneva.
