PEUGEOT E-208
It’s time to head to some challenging B-roads and prove the road testers wrong

WHY WE’RE RUNNING IT
To get under the skin of a promising hatch and assess its tech in daily use
As an owner, you like to get reassurance that your purchase was a good choice. So as the honorary owner of a Peugeot e-208, I crave the same thing, which means I’m regularly discussing my electric hatch to get people’s opinions and hope they affirm the car truly is good – well, apart from a few small things that Iknow aren’t. As expected, the feedback has been a mixed bag. Some people are ultimately turned off by the difficult seating position afforded by the i-Cockpit (which I’ve covered in previous reports) but there is also agreement that it does indeed drive rather well. As part of my search for affirmation, I’ve also been pondering our review of the e-208, in the same spec as mine, written by road tester Illya Verpraet.
