Overall Rating
Peugeot 108:
The Peugeot 108 is a city car launched by French manufacturer Peugeot in March 2014 at the Geneva Motor Show. The 108 is related to the Citroën C1 and Toyota Aygo, and shares their floorpan, engines, transmission and electrics. Sales commenced in June 2014 in Mainland Europe and in July 2014 in the United Kingdom.
The model, along with the Citroën C1, was phased out on January 1, 2022, when Toyota took full ownership of the plant in the Czech Republic, and announced the model would not be renewed. Production ended without any direct successor. The cars were all built in the TPCA factory in the Czech Republic for nearly seven years....(Read more on Wikipedia)
Hatch Overview:
Peugeot 108 (Hatch). With 95 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. It boasts low fuel consumption (~5 l/100km). Weighing only 980 kg, it’s quite light. Front‑wheel drive delivers efficiency and easy handling. Acceleration is relatively slow (0–100 km/h in 14.3 s). The top speed reaches 160 km/h. A compact car with a rear door that swings upward to provide access to the cargo area. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.
Achieved a respectable 4-star Euro NCAP rating, demonstrating good protection for adult and child occupants, though safety assist systems were basic.
1.0 VTi (68 Hp) Automatic Verdict:
