New version of the Peugeot 208 with Stop & Start and ETG changes

Peugeot has started marketing its new 1.2 e-VTI 82 CV ETG5 version, which substantially reduces CO2 emissions, reaching 95 g/km, equivalent to a consumption of 4.1 l/100 km. This 208 is equipped with the new ETG5 gearbox. In addition, it is the first petrol engine from the brand to incorporate the Stop & Start system.

Stop & Start is the technology for automatic engine shut-off and restart when the vehicle stops momentarily. As with other models, the system offers a number of advantages, such as a reduction of up to 15% in consumption in urban driving thanks to automatic engine shut-off and almost instantaneous restart.

The key features of the engine fitted to the 208 include the Volt Control system, which manages the alternator to recover energy during deceleration phases. A hybrid battery stores this energy and uses it for restarting (e-booster). Stop & Start operates over a temperature range from -5 to 35 degrees, a wider spectrum than that of the solutions used by other models.

Continuing with the novelties, this version of the Peugeot 208 is fitted with the brand’s new gearbox, a five-speed ETG. ETG replaces the current CMP and provides greater comfort, dynamism and efficiency. It also includes the Rampage function, a driving-assistance system whereby the vehicle moves off in first gear and reverses at low speed without the need to press the accelerator.

As for pricing, the new 208 1.2 e-VTi 82 CV ETG5 variant will be available at a price of 11,160 euros, which already includes the PIVE 3 Plan.
