2012 Peugeot 208 3-Door
In the Spring of 2012, Peugeot will launch its new model in the 'B' (Supermini) segment. The new car will be available in two distinct body styles; 3- and 5-door. Today, when creating a vehicle capable of appealing to and uniting a wide variety of customers with ever changing expectations, simple renewal is no longer enough. Therefore, from the outset, the 'A9' Project adopted the most ambitious specification overhaul ever undertaken by Peugeot to create a vehicle that represents a true generation leap. (continued below)

Peugeot 208: Re-Generation
|
Source: Peugeot | Published: Wed Nov 02, 2011 |
(continued from above)
Peugeot has not hesitated to rewrite the rulebook, with the desire to
reinvent the principles on which the success of icons like the 205, 206 and 207
were built and to 're-generate' them, to create the Peugeot 208.
"With the 208, Peugeot has given itself the means to recreate an icon" said
Laurent Blanchet, Product Range Director, Automobiles Peugeot.
208 Refines Peugeot's Aesthetic Codes
The 208 gives form to and refines the new aesthetic codes of the Marque.
'Floating' grille, light signature, 'boomerang' rear lamps - each detail is
designed in complete harmony with the balance of the car, structured by a
'spine' the impression of which is even visible on the roof. Sculpted, athletic,
pure and sophisticated, its style projects the Marque towards a renewed and
attractive modernity, suggesting sensuousness and energy, smoothness and
mischief. The two body styles have been given entirely different treatments,
with the style of the quarter panel of the three-door version recalling one of
its illustrious older siblings.
Interior Design
The interior continues the promise of innovation just like the exterior style. A
true break from what has gone before, beyond the recognized technical
constraints and cultural references, the instruments and controls have been
completely re-thought to become entirely intuitive and clear. They are
positioned around a small steering wheel, combined with an elevated instrument
panel giving information at a glance and a large touch screen. This 'ensemble'
connects with its occupants and contributes to the practicality, the safety, the
quality and purity of the interior design, as well as to the driving sensations.
