The 2019 Peugeot 208 was unveiled before the Geneva motor show. The baby hatch has a new muscle profile, a premium feel in the cabin, and an electric variant to look forward. Let's take a closer look at what this latest 208 offers and the future availability of Australia. The new Peugeot supermini has a similar aesthetic charm to the latest 508 models. Peugeot is working hard to design their designs to build a natural and similar attraction throughout the scope. The headlights have a three-band claw, the outer claw extends to the bumper, and a 208 jewel badge on the hood. The lights are severely affected by the latest models of 508 and 3008, which are connected to black stripes. The rear is pert and perky compared to the output model, with a wider and lower profile. The rear window looks more rounded, and in some ways it is reminiscent of the classic Peugeot 205 GTi of the time. The new Peugeot 208 is based on the latest Peugeot Citroen universal modular platform or CMP. This case is 100 kg lighter than the upcoming model, but more interestingly, it is the ideal platform for all-electric 208. In this configuration, the power supply will be provided by the 100 KW motor provided by the 50 degree lithium ion battery pack. In a typical WLTP test cycle, all electrical ranges are estimated to be 340 km. When using the correct charging station, charging this 208 electric vehicle will allow charging to 80% in half an hour, and the battery pack will guarantee eight or 161,000 km years (whichever comes first ). Of course, there will be gasoline or diesel engines if you don't want a 208 electric car. Gasoline power plants will be provided in three forms; 56 KW (75hp), 75 KW (100hp) and 97 KW (130hp), respectively ). The entry-level engine will be paired manually with five-speed, and the mid specification will have six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic, in addition, the range topping engine will provide only eight-speed automatic shift transmission. The variant of diesel is 1. 5L four-cylinder engine with power of 75 KW (100hp) paired with a six-speed manual transmission. The new 208 of Peugeot 208 security technology has gained a lot of positive security technology, such as complete parking assist, adaptive cruise control with parking/driving function, AEB, Lane hold assist, blind spot monitoring of traffic signs, driver attention monitoring, lane centering, electric parking brake. The new 208 will be released in Europe at the end of 2019, and it is too early to guess Australia's release date.
