The new PEUGEOT e-208 won the "Grand Prize for the Most Beautiful Interior" at the 35th International Automobile Festival. Gilles Vidal, PEUGEOT Styling Director, received this trophy during the ceremony held on January 28, 2020 at the Hôtel des Invalides in Paris. Perfectly in line with the PEUGEOT brand's move upmarket, this new generation of PEUGEOT 208s asserts itself through its sharp design, breathing youth and energy. Innovative in its distinctive style, the new PEUGEOT 208 also innovates with a new generation of the PEUGEOT i-Cockpit© with 3D head-up display. Inspired by the PEUGEOT FRACTAL concept car, presented in Frankfurt in September 2015, the new PEUGEOT 208 features a new and unprecedented generation of the PEUGEOT i-Cockpit®, an inseparable part of the PEUGEOT brand DNA with more than 5 million drivers conquered. Every year, the International Automobile Festival's Grand Prix awards are given to the most outstanding achievements in the automotive field. The architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte presides over a jury of experts from the world of automobiles, fashion, culture, design and media. New PEUGEOT e-208: e-motion New PEUGEOT e-208 offers a lively, stimulating driving experience with its 100% electric engine, available from launch:  100 KW (136 bhp) electric engine developing 260 Nm of torque (available from 0 km/h) for instant reactivity,  silent engine, zero vibration,  technology display on central screen (real-time drive train functional display). New PEUGEOT e-208 proposes three drive modes: 1. Eco: to optimise range, 2. Normal: optimum comfort for everyday use, 3. Sport: priority is given to performance and sensations, maximum power and torque (0 to 100 km/h in 8.1s). Two braking modes are also available via the gear lever with appropriate battery regeneration:  Moderate, providing a sensation close to that felt when braking with a combustion engine,  Augmented, for controlled deceleration by means of the accelerator pedal. New PEUGEOT e-208 offers the best thermal comfort on the market with:  a high-power heater element (5 kW) powered by the HV battery,  a heat pump and automatic temperature control in the passenger compartment, providing the same comfort standard as in a vehicle powered by a combustion engine. Vehicle range is preserved due to improved power efficiency compared to conventional climate control,  heated seats (according to version),  programmable thermal pre-conditioning, controlled from touch screen or remotely by the MyPeugeot® smartphone application. Besides comfort, this function allows vehicle range optimisation (the set temperature is reached more rapidly during start phases) and enables the optimum battery functional temperature to be attained sooner. Interior and boot-space are identical to the ICE version. The batteries, which take up a volume of 220L, are distributed under the floor pan in new PEUGEOT 208. Hallmark of the PEUGEOT brand, new PEUGEOT e-208’s running gear has been optimised and specific technical solutions have been applied (optimum mass distribution). This enables new PEUGEOT e-208 to achieve dynamic performances on a par with the combustion engine version. New PEUGEOT e-208 is fitted with a 50 kWh large-capacity battery enabling a vehicle range of up to 340 km, according to the WLTP (Worldwide harmonised Light vehicles Test Procedures) certification protocol and 450 km according to NEDC (New European Driving Cycle). Linked to the passenger compartment cooling system, fluidcooled temperature control enables fast recharging, optimised range and increased life-span. This battery is guaranteed for 8 years or 160 000 km for 70% of its charge capacity. Charging modes are flexible and adapted to everyday use. Three charge modes are possible:  using a conventional domestic socket or for a full charge in 16 hours, using a heavy-duty Legrand® Green Up™ socket, supplied complete with charging cable,  from a Wall Box, providing a full charge in 5 hours for the three-phase version (11 kW) or in 7 hours 30 minutes hours for mono-phase (7.4 kW),  using a dedicated public charging terminal: battery thermal regulation permits the use of 100 kW chargers, 80% of the charge being reached in 30 minutes. New PEUGEOT e-208 can also be remotely charged if programmed via the Connected Navigation screen or using the MyPeugeot® smartphone application. This system also enables you to start or stop charging at any time and allows you to check the charge status. #SDADan #peugeot #e208 #peugeot208 #ev #electriccar #autos #cars
