DC charging the 51kWh (usable) pack from 20 to 80 per cent takes less than 30 minutes; the peak rate is 100kW. Using a 7.4kW home wallbox, that time stretches to four hours 40 minutes. The battery (and the GTi itself) is covered by an eight-year, 62,000-mile warranty.
Sporty styling and design
Peugeot showed the GTi as a concept at the 2025 Le Mans 24 Hours race; this year’s production version is just as sporty.
Eight colours are offered, including this Okénite white, which emphasises the red GTi accents in the grille and headlamps, and on details such as the badges. Flared wheelarches cover the stretched tracks, while a larger rear spoiler is paired with a gloss black rear diffuser featuring a racecar-style foglight. A black splitter completes the look up front.
What does the Peugeot 208 GTi look like inside?
The red and retro theme continues inside, where the E-208 GTi gets two-tone upholstery inspired by the 205 GTi 1.9’s. Patches of Alcantara are dotted throughout the cabin for a more premium and sporty appearance, red stitching adorns the compact steering wheel and the seatbelts and carpets are also coloured to make a bull charge.
Standard equipment is plentiful. All UK GTis get sport seats and a central touchscreen with TomTom navigation, plus wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. The seven-shade ambient lighting naturally defaults to – you’ve guessed it – red.
The E-208 is the first Peugeot to get the GTi badge since 2016, when the last petrol-powered 208 GTi arrived. In the interim, Peugeot launched one performance model – pumping up the 508 hatchback – under the ‘Peugeot Sport Engineered’ banner.
