Peugeot unveils the new electric hot hatchback, the Peugeot 208 E-GTi, as a comeback to their high-performance GTi nameplate.
This electric hot hatchback embodies the classic GTi spirit in a contemporary, all-electric form, promising a new level of GTi experience.
Peugeot made history forty years ago with the iconic 205 GTi, shaping the GTi legacy with models like the 306, 206, and 207 in the UK.
The Peugeot E-208 GTi boasts a strong road presence, distinctive red body color, and sporty interior design paying homage to the iconic 205 GTi.
Equipped with the M4+ electric motor delivering 206 kW (280 hp) and 345 Nm (255 lb-ft) of torque, the Peugeot E-208 GTi accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.7 seconds with a top speed of 180 km/h.
The 54 kWh electric battery provides a range of 350 km (217 miles) in Europe's WLTP cycle, with a charging time of 4 hours and 40 minutes using a 7.4 kW Level 2 charger.
The Peugeot E-208 GTi offers the best power-to-weight ratio in its segment, features a widened chassis, lowered body, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, and special hydraulic stops for sporty efficiency.
The ESP system includes a Sport mode that enhances driving experience by optimizing steering sensitivity and turning off driver assistance systems for a racetrack-like feel.
The launch date and price of the E-208 GTi have not been disclosed, but it is expected to be available for sale before the end of 2025.
