Could this car be the most expensive production Peugeot ever? With a sticker price of £175,000 (AUD$300,000), this 1984 Peugeot 205 T16 presents a compelling case. One of just 200 homologation specials built in order for the French carmaker to compete in the World Rally Championship, the transverse mid-mounted 1...
One of the most deeply personal aspects of buying a new car is choosing the colour. It's a reflection of who we are, and the considerations vary greatly from person to person. Be it the desire to make a fashion statement, an attempt to preserve re-sale value or even choosing which colours are least likely to be targeted by thieves, there's a lot to consider...
The refreshed 2016 Peugeot 208 range will go on sale in Australia later this month, the carmaker has confirmed today, following its unveiling at March’s Geneva motor show.

The 2015 Peugeot 208 GTi has had a further $490 shaved from its Australian retail price this week, as the current model shifts into runout mode.

An extra $5000 for a special edition Peugeot 208 GTI is well worth the price.

Peugeot released a teaser image of the “specially enhanced” limited edition 208 GTi, which sports a Union Jack flag at the base of its grille in honour of the famous British hill climb event...
Comparing old with new might seem like an unfair comparison because, with few exceptions, new models are bigger, safer, more refined and more economical, often quicker, too. All of which might leave an earlier iteration without a hope. However, the flipside is that previous models are smaller and rawer, which are negatives if you’re talking about a Corolla, but can be desirable qualities in the rarefied realm of high-performance icons...
The Peugeot 208 is set to lose its lid, according to reports out of France. Caradisiac reports the French brand's city car will adopt a fully automated soft-top lid for the three-door by "late 2015" following a reveal at the 2015 Frankfurt motor show...
French car maker Peugeot is reportedly working on a special edition of the recently released Peugeot 208 GTi in recognition of Sebastien Loeb's record-crushing run at the 2013 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in Colorado.

A series of videos teasing the all-new Peugeot 208 GTi have been released by the French manufacturer ahead of the car's impending launch. Continuing Peugeot’s claim that the 208 GTi will resurrect the spirit of iconic 205 GTi, the three videos all feature the same ‘GTi is back’ tagline and show enthusiasts of the new hot-hatch expressing their passion through various means...
The upcoming Peugeot 208 GTi will have closer parallels to the famous 205 GTi of the 1980s, says the French car manufacturer. The 205 GTi's successors to date, the 206 GTi and 207 GTi, weren’t short on engine performance but couldn’t match the pure handling fun of the original. A new 208 city car that’s lighter than the 207, however, provides the perfect basis for a great GTi variant, says Peugeot...
Production of the all-new Peugeot 208 is being cut by PSA Peugeot Citroen in response to slowing demand for the city car across European markets only six months after its April launch.

The launch of the Peugeot 208 marks a critical evolution for the French carmaker - it won’t necessarily make or break the company, but it may well be the most important model since the launch of the Peugeot 205 way back in 1983. Prior to the early 205, Peugeot was by far the most conservative of the big three French car companies and better known for building large and mostly uninspiring sedans such as the 504 and 505...
