Peugeot 208 Style arrives – costs from £13,445

The Peugeot 208 gets a limited edition version – the 208 Style – with added equipment, cosmetic tweaks and a choice of three engines. Costs from £13,445.

It’s nearly two years since the new Peugeot 208 started arriving in the UK, and it’s a decent little car with plenty of options and a sensible price tag.

But the newness of the 208 is starting to wear off a little, so Peugeot are aiming to put some pep in to sales and some footfall in to showrooms with a new special edition 208 – the Peugeot 208 Style.

Based on the best-selling 208 Active trim, the 208 Style comes with a panoramic glass roof, SatNav, parking sensors and chrome door mirrors, with the interior getting new seat trim.

Peugeot say the extra goodies on the Style add up to £1400 if you specced them on the Activ, but add just £750 to Activ prices in the Style.

That means prices from £13,445 (3-door) and £14,045 (5-door) with a choice of three engines – PureTech 1.2-litre VTI, 1.4-litre HDI or the 1.6-litre e-HDI.

Peugeot will be promote the 208 Style with a print advertising campaign declaring it the car ‘With Everything on your Wish List’, and if you agree you can now order the Style, with first customer cars due in June.
