With Minor Updates, Peugeot 108 Extends Its Sales In The United Kingdom
by AutoExpert | 20 July, 2021
Peugeot has confirmed that, as it nears the end of its lifetime, it will continue to sell the 108 city auto in the United Kingdom with a series of minor upgrades for 2021, sold exclusively in a five-door body style.
Peugeot 108 debuted in 2014 as an improved version of the 2005 Peugeot 107, as well as a sister vehicle to the Citroen C1 and Toyota Aygo. PSA Group is expected to stop producing ICE-powered A-segment vehicles in 2020, with a potential pure electric substitute in the form of a crossover based on the Fiat 500 chassis in 2021. Toyota, on the other hand, took a detour with their ICE-powered next-generation Aygo, which was anticipated by the X Prologue Concept.
Returning to the classic 108, the model is now available in two new paint colors: Ural White and Galaxite Gray, which replace the earlier Bianca White and Carbon Grey. Active, Allure, and Collection are the three trim levels offered, with the latter highlighted by 15-inch Thorren alloy wheels with orange center caps and body-colored door handles.
Inside, the top-of-the-line collection features new Orange Maya Line Jusa trimmings with yellow stitching, as well as a unique interior atmosphere based on the trim chosen.
The 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine produces 67 hp (50 kW / 68 PS) regardless of the version, as the more powered naturally aspirated 1.2-liter unit has been withdrawn. There is no automatic transmission available, thus power is supplied to the front wheels only through a five-speed manual transmission. Peugeot 108 2022 is already on sale in the United Kingdom, with pricing starting at £13,320.
