Peugeot 208: price, running costs, warranty, safety and size by grade
Every figure below is read off Peugeot’s Australian documents for the 16 grades on this page, and each one says which grades it covers. Running costs are estimates and carry their assumptions; anything we do not hold says so.

The first-generation Peugeot 208 (A9) was a light 5-door (GTi 3-door) French hatch sold in Australia from 2012, spanning Active, Allure, GT-Line and the hot GTi. Most variants used the 1.2-litre PureTech turbo-triple (81kW/205Nm), while the GTi ran a 1.6 turbo four making 147kW pre-facelift and 153kW from 2016. As a used buy it is a stylish, well-equipped small car with the compact i-Cockpit dash; the PureTech triple can be prone to timing-belt wear so check service history.

The 2012 Peugeot 208 Allure 1.6 4-speed Automatic is a 5-door A9-generation light hatch, 1.6 litre petrol making 88kW and 160Nm through a 4-speed automatic to the front wheels. It claims 6.7 L/100km combined and 154 g/km of CO2, and gets to 100km/h in 11.9 seconds. Allure adds 16-inch alloys, dual-zone climate control, rear parking sensors, LED daytime running lights, rain-sensing wipers and automatic headlights over the Active. Peugeot quoted a tare mass of 1123 kg, and every figure on this page comes from Peugeot Australia's own September 2012 208 features and specifications sheet rather than a press release. No ANCAP star rating is stored on this record. ANCAP does hold a 208 entry, and its own scope note reads "5 door hatches with 4 cylinder engine", which describes this car, but a rating is never inherited onto a row here. No Australian price survives for this car, so none is shown.

The 2013 Peugeot 208 GTi is the three-door hot version of the A9 208, running a 1.6 litre turbo petrol with 147kW and 275Nm through a six-speed manual. Peugeot claimed 0-100km/h in 6.8 seconds and a 230km/h top speed, on 5.9 L/100km combined and 139 g/km of CO2. It runs 17-inch alloys on 205/45 R17 rubber, 302mm ventilated front discs and 249mm rears, with satellite navigation, dual-zone climate control, rear parking sensors and full grain black leather and caro cloth seats as standard. Maximum braked trailer towing weight is 1150 kg, and tare mass is quoted at 1133 kg. No ANCAP star rating is stored on this record. ANCAP holds a 208 entry, but its own scope note reads "5 door hatches with 4 cylinder engine" and this is a three-door, so that entry does not describe it. Everything here comes from Peugeot Australia's August 2013 208 GTi features and specifications sheet; no Australian price for it survives.

The second-generation Peugeot 208 (P21) reached Australia in 2024 as the all-electric e-208 GT only. It pairs a 115kW/260Nm front motor with a 51kWh battery for up to about 400km of WLTP range, and brings the sharp fang-styled LED face and the 3D i-Cockpit dash. As a used EV buy it is a well-equipped, distinctive city hatch with 100kW DC fast charging (20-80% in around 25 minutes).
