Peugeot 208 Allure Electric Cars
The Peugeot 208 Allure Electric is a stylish and efficient city car well-suited to Australian urban driving conditions. Powered by a 50 kWh lithium-ion battery, the 208 Electric offers an estimated real-world range of approximately 340 kilometres, ideal for daily commutes and short trips across Australian cities such as Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane. The compact dimensions and agile handling make it highly manoeuvrable in congested traffic and tight parking spaces common in Australian CBDs.
Under the bonnet, the electric motor delivers 100 kW of power and 260 Nm of torque, providing smooth acceleration from standstill—a distinct advantage when navigating stop-start traffic or merging on highways. The front-wheel-drive setup ensures predictable handling on both dry bitumen roads and damp surfaces after rain.
The interior features the Allure trim’s elevated specification with Peugeot’s distinctive i-Cockpit design. A configurable digital instrument panel provides clear visibility of speed, battery charge status, and navigation information—helpful for drivers tackling long commutes or unfamiliar routes in metropolitan areas. Practicality is enhanced by a decent 265-litre boot capacity plus foldable rear seats to accommodate larger loads from weekend getaways or grocery runs.
Australia’s increasing number of fast-charging stations supports rapid replenishment; the Peugeot 208 Electric can be charged to around 80% in approximately 30 minutes via CCS fast chargers commonly found at major service centres along highway corridors. At home, convenient overnight charging using a dedicated wallbox means waking up to a full battery every morning.
With its blend of zero emissions motoring, user-friendly technology, and compact urban-friendly size tailored to Australia’s diverse driving environments—from crowded inner-city streets to suburban neighbourhoods—the Peugeot 208 Allure Electric stands out as a compelling choice for environmentally conscious drivers seeking practicality without compromise.
