12-hybrid-100-gt-5dr-e-dsc6

While 98bhp doesn’t sound like all that much, this engine has more than enough power to get you up to speed quickly. What’s more, it can drive on electricity alone for short periods of time and at low speeds to increase efficiency. The only thing that lets it down is the standard-fit automatic gearbox, which can be sluggish when you pull off. 

1.2 Hybrid 100

Hatchback

Peugeot has its strongest model line-up for some years, with some of its cars now rated by our testers as being among the very best available.

Highlights focus around the firm’s newest SUVs, the 3008 and 5008. The 5008 was named Large SUV of the Year at the 2018 What Car? Awards, thanks to its appealing blend of space, interior quality and low running costs.

That bodes well for future launches, too, because many of the learnings from these cars will be passed on as new versions of existing cars are launched – something that could take many years, because the Peugeot range is so big, ranging from an entry-level supermini with the 108 to an executive saloon with the 508, up into the SUV range and also vans.

Buyers should evaluate some of the lower-rated cars in the range more carefully, though. Some are now quite old, and are subsequently left behind in terms of quality when compared with the opposition, making them below-average buys, in our estimation.

Top-spec GT trim comes with niceties such as 17in alloy wheels, full LED headlights, a wireless charging pad and ambient interior lighting. However, it’s too pricey to recommend.

1.2 Hybrid 100 GT 5dr e-DSC6

With 134bhp, this hybrid engine is the most powerful 208 engine on offer and also the fastest. In fact, if you believe the official figures, it’ll take you from 0-62mph in just 8.1sec.

This is the less powerful motor variant of the fully electric e-208. Acceleration is nippy enough (0-62mph takes 8.1 seconds) and the official range is up to 225 miles – although you won't get that far in real-world driving.
