2019-2023 Peugeot 208 (2nd gen)
The second-generation 208 is the style pick of the European supermini set, with its distinctive 3D i-Cockpit dashboard, sharp creased bodywork, and the unusual choice of an all-electric e-208 alongside the petrol and diesel cars. It sells in huge numbers across France and southern Europe, so used supply is deep and prices are accessible. The PureTech 1.2 three-cylinder petrol is the volume engine and the value buy, though buyers should specifically check for documented wet-belt and oil service on earlier examples, a known weak point that has softened residuals slightly versus rivals. The e-208 is a tempting cheap EV for city use, but battery health and remaining warranty are the questions that decide whether it is a bargain. Listing averages ease over winter on AutoScout24 and mobile.de; the funky cabin is divisive, so test the driving position before committing.
