Peugeot has revealed that prices for the E-208 GTi start from £34,995
The new E-208 GTi remains incredibly close to the original 2025 concept and builds on the continued commercial success of the Peugeot 208 range.
Christophe Auriault, E 208 GTi project manager at Peugeot Sport, said: “One of our main priorities was performance durability. We did not want to reduce this exceptional power to protect the battery from derating, something seen on some electric performance cars.
“For example, if a customer is driving up a mountain pass, they should be able to stay in ‘Sport mode’ for the duration. It is the GTi spirit, performance should be constant.
“Drawing inspiration from motorsport, we designed battery cooling management that avoids power limitation in demanding conditions.”
The vehicle is equipped with a M4+ electric motor, developing 281 hp and delivering 345 Nm of torque. It can go from 0 to 62 mph in just 5.5 seconds.
This is backed up by a 1000 m standing start in 25.8 s and 3.2 s from 50 to 80 mph. Top speed is limited to 112 mph.
The Peugeot E 208 GTi uses the same 54 kWh gross battery (51kWh useable) as the E 208, but its management has been adapted to meet the demands of the GTi motor.
It will charge in 4h40 on a 7.4 kW Wallbox or 20–80% in under 30 minutes on a 100 kW DC charger
Depending on the free choice of high performance tyres, the vehicle offers combined WLTP range of up to 233 miles with Hankook Ventus S1 Evo3 tyres (No Cost Option) or 219 miles with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S performance tyres (As Standard).
Seven body colours are available – Okénite White, Elixir Red, Miramar Blue (New colour), Nera Black, Cumulus Grey, Selenium Grey, and Agueda Yellow.
All 100% electric Peugeot models benefit from up to 8 year / 100,000miles vehicle warranty via Peugeot Care and up to 8 year / 100,000miles battery warranty.
