Peugeot Adds ENVY Trim to the 208 From £23,115 and the 2008 From £26,165

• Peugeot has added an ENVY trim above Allure on the 208 and 2008, priced from £23,115 and £26,165 on the road.
• The step up costs £500 on the 208 and £400 on the 2008, and Peugeot says ENVY enhances the equipment with keyless entry and start and a 180 degree reversing camera, alongside front seats normally fitted from GT trim upwards.
• Both electric versions drop by £1,500 after the Electric Car Grant, to £24,065 for the e-208 and £28,465 for the e-2008.

ENVY Brings Keyless Entry, a Reversing Camera and Front Seats From GT Trim

Peugeot has placed a new ENVY trim above Allure on the 208 and the 2008, and sells it with electric, hybrid and petrol power on both. The cheapest version of each is the Turbo 100 with a 6-speed manual gearbox: £23,115 for the 208 and £26,165 for the 2008, both recommended on-the-road prices.

Peugeot puts the price walk from Allure at £500 on the 208 and £400 on the 2008. Subtract those sums and the Allure prices they imply work out at £22,615 on the 208 and £25,765 on the 2008. That makes the ENVY premium 2.2 percent on the 208 and 1.6 percent on the 2008. Those Allure figures come from subtraction, so confirm the current Allure price with a dealer before comparing.

Seven Prices From £23,115 to £29,965

The 208 ENVY comes in three versions. The Turbo 100 manual costs £23,115, the Hybrid 110 e-DSC6 costs £24,915 and the Electric 50kWh 136 costs £25,565. The hybrid sits £1,800 above the petrol car (£24,915 minus £23,115), and the electric car sits £2,450 above it before any grant (£25,565 minus £23,115).

The 2008 ENVY offers four. The Turbo 100 manual costs £26,165, the 1.2 PureTech 130 EAT8 costs £28,465, the Hybrid 145 e-DSC6 costs £29,215 and the Electric 54kWh 156 costs £29,965. Peugeot does not sell the PureTech 130 in Northern Ireland. Against the petrol manual, the PureTech 130 adds £2,300, the hybrid adds £3,050 and the electric adds £3,800 before the grant (£28,465, £29,215 and £29,965 each minus £26,165). Every price in the range sits below £30,000.

Paint is one extra to settle early. Alvao Green on the 208 and Nazare Blue on the 2008 are the standard ENVY colours, and Peugeot offers other paints as options without giving their prices.

What ENVY Adds on Top of Allure

Outside, the two cars share aluminium door sills lettered Peugeot and gloss black trim around the daytime running lights. The 208 then adds 16-inch NOMA alloys with a diamond-cut finish and Black Mist varnish, a roof in Black Diamond and gloss black accents on both bumpers. The 2008 steps up to 17-inch KARAKOY alloys, diamond-cut and finished in the same Black Mist varnish.

Inside, ENVY brings the front seats that Peugeot normally keeps for GT trim and above. They are covered in turquoise TREMEZZO embossed fabric, sewn with Opalite thread, with the Peugeot shield outline printed on each front headrest. Door panels repeat the Opalite stitching alongside matching inserts, and the roof lining is Mistral Black on both cars.

The equipment changes are the ones a driver uses daily. Peugeot says ENVY enhances equipment and driver convenience with Open & Go keyless entry and start plus a 180 degree HD colour reversing camera, and offers the 2008 ENVY with a two-position boot floor. The Allure specification Peugeot cites alongside them includes parking sensors at the front and rear, tinted rear glass and the 10-inch configurable head-up Digital Instrument Panel.

Keyless entry deserves one question at the dealer. DVLA figures show more than 54,000 vehicles were reported stolen in 2025, and relay attacks on keyless systems drive a large share of the most expensive thefts, as the keyless entry theft figures show. Peugeot gives no security detail for Open & Go, so ask what protection the system carries before ordering.

What the Electric Car Grant Does to the Price

The after-grant column in Peugeot’s table takes exactly £1,500 off each electric car: £25,565 falls to £24,065 on the e-208 and £29,965 falls to £28,465 on the e-2008. Buyers do not apply for the discount. GOV.UK says the seller includes the grant as a discount in the purchase price, and only vehicles the government has approved qualify.

The £1,500 matches the second of the grant’s two bands. The grant pays the full £3,750 Electric Car Grant in Band 1 and £1,500 in Band 2, and the e-208 and e-2008 sit in Band 2 on the list published in June. The Kia EV4 moved from Band 2 to Band 1 after Kia supplied extra evidence, so a model’s band can change. GOV.UK says manufacturers apply for eligibility by supplying evidence about the sustainability of vehicle manufacturing. Check the band on the day of ordering.

Citroën shows the same gap on a larger car. Its price table for the 210hp ë-C5 Aircross takes £1,500 off in every trim, as the Citroën C5 Aircross Emerald price list shows.

After the grant, the electric 208 undercuts the hybrid 208 by £850 (£24,915 minus £24,065) and costs £950 more than the petrol manual (£24,065 minus £23,115). On the 2008 the electric car at £28,465 costs exactly the same as the PureTech 130, £750 less than the Hybrid 145 (£29,215 minus £28,465) and £2,300 above the petrol manual.

Choosing Between the 208 and the 2008

The 2008 costs £3,050 more than the 208 in Turbo 100 manual form (£26,165 minus £23,115). On the electric versions the gap is £4,400, both before the grant (£29,965 minus £25,565) and after it (£28,465 minus £24,065). Peugeot badges the e-208 as 50kWh 136 and the e-2008 as 54kWh 156, so the electric 2008 carries the larger battery.

The trim premium is the smaller on the larger car: £400 on the 2008 against £500 on the 208. The 2008 also gets bigger wheels, 17 inches against 16, and the boot floor with two positions. A buyer who wants ENVY at the lowest cost enters at £23,115 on the 208. A buyer who wants the EV at the lowest cost pays £24,065 for the e-208 after the grant.

What Peugeot Has Not Yet Said

Peugeot has not stated an on-sale date, the Allure prices, fuel economy for any version or a WLTP range for the electric cars, so the running-cost case for each powertrain cannot be built yet. The maker says it offers 8-year/100,000-mile Peugeot CARE cover on the battery and the vehicle across its core electric passenger cars. That is Peugeot’s own claim, so ask the dealer to confirm in writing that it applies to the e-208 and e-2008 you are ordering.
