Peugeot 208 To Debut This Week: Video

PEUGEOT 208

Peugeot has released a new teaser video for its upcoming 208 light car, which is scheduled for a global debut later this week.

Entering as the latest offering in Peugeot's long-running '20X' line, the 208 will likely continue the theme of previous generations, including the range-topping GTI variant.

Details for the 208 are not available, although a short teaser video released today describes a "sophisticated, relevant and radically new" car with sleek styling and top-shelf materials in the cabin. The usual marketing buzz words, but likely also a hint for a more up-market take on the brand's volume seller.

As reported last year, we can expect the 208 to draw on the styling of Peugeot's latest models, including the 508 sedan and wagon, and the recently-revealed 4008 SUV.

Key styling features should include sharp headlights, squared off where they meet the brand's new family grille design.
