Reservations are now being taken for the all-new Peugeot 208 range, which will be available with fully-electric, petrol and diesel powertrains.

Customers can visit the manufacturer’s website to reserve a car with a £500 deposit.

Actual orders for the range can be placed from late summer, with the car going on UK sale in early 2020.

Prior to the actual opening of orders, those customers who placed a reservation will be contacted by Peugeot to confirm their order choice and ascertain if they would like to transact online or through their local Peugeot dealer.

After test driving the vehicle, customers will have up to seven days to cancel their order if they change their mind and have their deposit fully refunded.

David Peel, managing director of Peugeot UK, said: “We’re delighted that our all-new Peugeot 208 reservation site has now opened.

“This is a hugely exciting model for us. The 208 features our first new generation fully electric vehicle.”

As part of Peugeot’s ambitions to provide an electrified version of its entire range by 2023, the e-208 is able to deliver a range of up to 211 miles from a full charge of its 50kW battery.
