With 206,816 units delivered, the Peugeot 208 was the best-selling car in Europe last year. The B-segment hatch managed to dethrone the VW Golf and therefore end its 14-year reign. It put the company with the lion badge in the number one spot for the first time after 2007 when the car's predecessor, the 207, topped the rankings. To maintain the strong sales momentum, the French are preparing a mid-cycle update for this hugely popular supermini.
Even though the 208 was unveiled in March 2019 or a few months before the 2008, Peugeot decided to prioritize the crossover's facelift, which we saw in early May. Logic tells us the subcompact hatchback can't be far behind and should inherit just about the same updates implemented in the equivalent crossover. Seen here in these first spy shots is the e-208, complete with aerodynamic wheels curiously covered in camouflage.
