It was way back in 1983 that Peugeot launched 205 and since then the company has noticed that their hatchbacks are among the top five best selling cars in France. Since 205 was launched in 1998 followed by 206 which did equally well and is seen today as 206+. In 2006, Peugeot launched 207 and is now in the process of bringing out 208 model which was recently revealed.
208 will be both five door and three door versions and will be ready for the auto markets in 2012. Peugeot said that 208 will be a totally new car both where its interiors and exteriors were concerned. It will be totally independent from the 207 model. 208 will not only be shorter than 207 but will weigh considerably less.
Statistics say that 208 would be at least three inches shorter and 242 pounds lighter than 207. However, it does offer more room in passenger sections as well as luggage space in the boot. 208 will be on display at Geneva Motor Show 2012 when pricing and information of its engines would be available.
