Well, if yesterday we inform you that the launch will be the star of 2018 completely new and revolutionary 508, Today we go a course more and you look at the big news of 2019: the second-generation Peugeot 208.

Quite possibly we begin to meet the new utility in late 2018, but early estimates suggest it could hit the market in spring 2019, on production in March at the prestigious Geneva Motor Show. As we tell the 508, this new Peugeot 208 also promises a quantum leap from its current generation, premiering from platform to new propulsion systems. First things first.

Peugeot 208: its new platform

Aesthetically already circulating on the Internet some filtered images that illustrate how could be this new Peugeot 208 II. We show below a video where you can see it. However, there is nothing official at the moment. Their responsible if we confirm, however, that if 508 will take many traits of the Exalt concept, he 208 new saved similarities also with the Fractal prototype presented in 2015.

But while Peugeot unveils its original features, if we are already in a position to tell you with How much will approach this new utility.

Evolved from the current modular architecture EMP2, already assembled compact 308 and 3008, the new base as well Modular be known as EMP1 (Asia will adopt the name of CMP, has since taken part in its development the Chinese giant Dongfeng) and is expected to it out all new small cars French PSA: the first reports indicate at least 20 models, among the ones who will include the future 2008 and up hypothetical mini SUV known as 1008.

With this new platform, early data suggest that the new Peugeot 208 (not much should change its dimensions, It is somewhat longer than 4.0 meters) be more dynamic, more agile, and above all, much lighter. In fact, we are told that it could reach reduce to 150 kg weight, 100 kg thanks to demean the new modular architecture and another 50 kg to be cut through components and adjustments. The utility therefore promises to be much better car.

So will its range of engines

The Second big news that will bring the new Peugeot 208 It is the option of having already in its range with a variant 100% power. Early estimates tell us that, thanks to buying by Opel and PSA Group, Peugeot will build the base and mechanical components current and advanced Ampera-e to develop its own electric utility. Synergies undoubtedly help both brands to move forward.

But with a variant of which, so far, more data are unknown (although it is logical that this already then an electric range clearly above 400 kilometers), The new Peugeot 208 will continue counting logically Diesel versions and conventional gasoline. And here it no doubt: PureTech new gasoline, only two cylinders and motors 1,2 liter engine, with power already up to 130 hp, They will continue uniting Diesel engines last BlueHDi, which he highlights the new 1.5 also 130 hp.

More security and connectivity

Regarding inside, and after the revolution brought Brand new in its first generation a revolutionary concept i-Cockpit then have “copied” all-new Peugeot, 208 will continue to evolve this environment. Big screen in the center, more connectivity console, digital instrumentation box, small steering wheel, new graphics and up gestural control systems already in Infotainment They will be their primary keys.

The new safety systems and driver assistance, together with new features autonomous driving that Peugeot slowly unravels in coming months, will help make the new Peugeot 208 2019 one of the most advanced utility the world when it reaches the market.
