Compactness and lightness
The reduced front overhang (- 6 cm compared with the 207) and the shorter rear overhang (- 1 cm) , alongwith the reduced weight of the vehicle, directly benefit improved proportions, agility and everyday practicality (parking, manoeuvres, etc.).
To obtain a maximum reduction in the weight of the vehicle, a true "hunt to
eliminate excess weight" took place at the same time to create, overall, a
"virtuous spiral", favouring fuel consumption, passive safety and the dynamic
performance of the vehicle. Each component designed, each technique used, each
part of the vehicle, etc. has been considered with this in mind, by every member
of the project team working on the vehicle: aluminium front beam-absorber, size
of the front subframe, laser welding of the roof, extensive use of VHSS and UHSS
(Very High Strength Steel and Ultra High Strength Steel) panels, soundproofing
of the engine at source, etc. Finally, the Peugeot 208 weighs 110 kg less than
the 207 with the same 1.4l HDi engine, up to 173 kg less with the entry level
petrol engine of comparable power; in short, a feat which allows the Peugeot 208
to start from a weight of 975 kg!

Peugeot gets it mojo back
On the outside, we think this is a quite appealing piece of design. A kinking
shape theme is evident - where the lamps push into the hood, across the top of
the windscreen, in the rear lamp - and ...
