Peugeot 208

"From the cobbled streets of Lyon to the fast lanes of the M25, the Peugeot 208 has long been a darling of the discerning urban motorist. But this one? This is the Special Edition - the Allure Premium trim - and it wears its badge with quiet confidence and a knowing wink. Powered by Peugeot's much-praised 1.2-litre PureTech petrol engine, this 208 offers 82bhp of punchy, three-cylinder charm. It's the sweet spot between urban efficiency and open-road usability, and with start/stop technology in the mix, it's kind to both the environment and your wallet. Light steering, crisp throttle response, and a suspension set-up that's firm but forgiving make it an absolute breeze to drive. Step inside and you'll find a cabin that punches well above its weight in the small car class. The Allure Premium trim brings ambient flourishes aplenty: a 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, climate control, reversing camera, and automatic headlights. The dinky steering wheel and raised instrument binnacle - Peugeot's now-signature i-Cockpit - deliver a driving position that's more hot hatch than hatchback. Outside, the 208's sculpted lines are set off beautifully by diamond-cut alloy wheels and LED running lights. It's compact without being cramped, with a boot that'll take a weekly shop or a weekend getaway in its stride. In a world where small cars too often feel stripped back, the Peugeot 208 Allure Premium Special Edition offers a masterclass in compact luxury. Stylish, cleverly equipped, and a genuine pleasure to drive - it's a supermini that doesn't try too hard, because it doesn't have to. Call us today to arrange a test drive."
