New 208 will have electric version

Peugeot has released pictures of the new generation 208 ahead of its public debut next week at the Geneva Motor Show, writes Brian Byrne.

The car is built on a new platform, with more aggressive styling than the outgoing car.

In addition to traditional internal combustion engines, the car will also have a fully-electric version with a claimed 340km range. This will directly target the Renault Zoe.

The current 208 was introduced in Europe in 2012.
