Peugeot 208 Intuitive Special Edition launched

A special edition of the new Peugeot 208 – the Peugeot 208 Intuitive – has been launched with extra equipment. Price from £14,245.

It’s over a year since the new Peugeot 208 was rolled out in the hope that it could revive Peugeot’s sales and bring back to the ailing French car maker some of the sales gloss they enjoyed with the 205.

But sales have not been as strong as Peugeot had hoped – production of the 208 was actually cut in October – with sales falling around 35,000 units below Peugeot’s expectations.

Still, the new 208 seems a decent enough offering and Peugeot are hardly going to give up before they’ve even started, so out come the traditional marketing guns with the arrival of the Peugeot 208 Intuitive, a special edition 208 with more kit for little more money.

Available in 3 or 5 door body styles with a choice of the 1.2 VTi 82, 1.4 HDi 70 or 1.6 e-HDi 92 engines – and costing from £14,245 for the 3 door 208 Intuitive 1.2 VTi 82 rising to £16,595.00 for the 5 door 208 Intuitive 1.6 e-HDi 92 – the 208 Intuitive gets Peugeot’s Park Assist System, 16″ alloys, SatNav, Cielo Roof with ambient lighting, Climate and LED surround on the instrument dials plus all the stuff that normally comes on the 208 Allure.

The Peugeot 208 Intuitive is now on sale in the UK.
