Peugeot has given its top-selling e-208 supermini a makeover with new styling, more technology and a longer electric range.
Launched in 2019, the baby Peugeot was the best-selling B-segment electric car in Europe last year. Despite that, the firm has added a number of new features to keep the car at the top of the sales charts.
The refreshed e-208 gets Peugeot's latest design cues which include the brand's new shield logo, a new grille made up of colour-coded elements, and three-claw LED day-running lights already seen on the latest e-2008 and 508 models. There's a pair of new rear LED lights, too, while new colours including 'Agueda Yellow' feature, along with new alloy wheel designs.
There are further changes under the skin, too. Peugeot has bolted in Stellantis's latest 54kWh (51kWh useable) battery and 156bhp electric motor that drives the front wheels. The 4kWh larger battery should give the e-208 a range of 248 miles (WLTP tested), while the 100kW rapid-charging capability means a 20-80% charge will take less than 25 minutes when connected to a suitable charger.
Join Nicola as she puts the new Peugeot e208 to the test for the first time. Have the changes gone far enough? Will the new version now make it onto your shortlist? Let us know in the comments below.

Finally, a reviewer who realizes that money is an issue when it comes to EVs. Don't be afraid repeating yourself about that, it's time people start talking about it. Great review, keep it up!
They need to stop saying cheapest, and say least expensive instead.
You'll save tons on fuel though. So after a few years, the EV will actually be cheaper. They say.
@@zonoskar Yeah, but you still need the upfront money to buy it
@@bigsweadewho buys cars with cash these days? The vast majority of people buy them on PCP or PCH.
@@123silentassassin You should see the vast number of ads in Sweden from people wanting someone to take over the leased car because they suddenly realised that they can't afford them....
Loving your reviews more and more Nicola, professional shoots but still has an aura that seems so casual, like a mate is chatting to you about a car they like or dislike. Tired of the stiffs reviewing cars 😂 keep up the great work. You and Nicki rule!
I am purchasing the previous gen e208 in march. With this new model, It is un acceptable that with the reduction in battery costs that the EV version is £12000 more than combustion, think about it, its all the same base parts minus combustion engine related parts switching out to battery, motor and charging parts. They could have reduced the cost by at least £4000. Peugeot seriously need to rethink their EV pricing, car companies are refusing to pass the reduction in production cost to the buyers.
Great review. Love the passion and energy behind the wheel.
I bought my daughter the GT Line version for her 21st birthday it’s a great little car with personality ❤
Loved your review. You make it interesting to watch the show.
I purchased the same spec in the old version when they first came out 4 years ago.
That cost me £28.5k so a £7.5k increase for essentially the same car in 4 years.
It is a great small EV but I think dealers will be discounting these heavily later in the year to meet ZEV targets.
You can get 10k off them if you look around now. Nice car but as a private buyer I wouldn’t touch them.
And people get annoyed Teslas are getting cheaper…
(As a Tesla owner who paid the higher prices I’m happy about it to get more people into EVs)
Bought mine in 2020 and done 53k miles in it without any issues. Very smooth and very quiet even by the latest EV standards (much quieter than the new Kona EV I tested yesterday). Only downside is the range tanks in the winter but the latest model has a better heat pump apparently so might not be such an issue now.
Thanks for the note on taller drivers to check the driving position - really handy as an initial screening check (I'm 6'4"). Good that it has a bit of fun to drive. I hope they manage to mask the price with good finance deals so these get out on the roads (or they assume salary sacrifice schemes).
Assuming the drone shots towards the end were electrifying produced then hats off to you and the team - they looked really good!
Love the humour as always & indicator sound :)
Good to see that range has improved. But this is rare instance for me, but i actually think the exterior looked better on the pre facelifted model.
In winter allmost 200km based on similar Opel model!
😂
Just did see the winter test of 2024 model winter test.
AutoTrader are advertising these with £10k discounts....
Some dealers are selling the EV for less than the petrol model!
The UK government has placed a minimum number of EV sales per year on manufacturers. They’re struggling to hit their quota, so they’re literally selling/leasing them at a loss.
great vid!
Spot on Nicola. Stellantis have their EV pricing completely wrong. The 208 is a small car with a small battery on an ICE platform, it should be cheap. For £27k you can have an MG4 with a bigger battery and a lot more space in the rear seats and boot. When the Renault 5 and Citroen EC3 come out, the 208 will look even more ridiculously expensive
The reality is they sell for £5K to £10k discount anyway. This model of huge list prices then huge discounts isn’t fooling anyone anymore.
@@ISuperTed I can see that the only way they can sell them is discounting to a sensible price, so why bother with the crazy high list prices which will put a lot of people off?
@@bill_heywooddon’t rule out BYD’s bang for buck too
@@123silentassassinAh yes, directly supporting the regime that bought the world such hits as the tiananmem square disaster, Uyghur genocide, Covid, and attempts to divide and destabilise the west by using TikTok to put people in an echo chamber where their opinions aren’t challenged.
Nah thanks, I know most cars contain some Chinese parts, but at least they’re not entirely Chinese, and the French car industry has workers rights, and unions.
In Sweden the price for the 208 EV is more than doubled compared to the base petrol model.
For those of us who live in cities in the US it would be nice if we got more cars like this (at the moment the Mini is pretty much the only small electric hatchback on the market over here). The assumption is that everyone in the US wants SUVs, crossovers, or pickup trucks, however all of those are pretty useless in an urban environment, an environment where the majority of the population now lives. Even the Tesla Model 3 feels too large to park on many city streets given how parking space is at a premium.
Wait for the Tesla Model 2 in the next 18 months. I think people will be surprised how much demand there will be in the USA for them.
Not much hope for you guys considering your best selling ‘car’ is a Ford F150 pickup! Those dwarf a Ford Ranger which over here 🇬🇧 would be described as a large pickup!
The Tesla model 3 is deceptively Enormous in the UK.
Tesla Model 3 is 10cm shorter, 2cm wider & 1cm taller than the current BMW 3 Series. I’m not convinced that many people would describe the Tesla as “deceptively enormous”, unless they’re referring to the internal cargo volume, which is about 80l more than the 3 Series
lol the Tesla Model 3 is quite big and you describe it as if it was small lol
Love the e208, but I’ll be waiting for a ground up EV version.
That central console is HUGE, so if you’re taller than 5’6” (or just have wide hips) you feel really hemmed in between the door and the console.
"That central console is HUGE, so if you’re taller than 5’6” (or just have wide hips) you feel really hemmed in between the door and the console."
little over 6" here and not even that slim, but I got no problems with it thus far. Just picked up mine yesterday.
As an owner of the first e208 the 2 things that bother me the most about the car are still the same. The stop lights won't turn on when using regen and the AC charging is limited to 7.7kw, that was ok 3 years ago but now there are so many public 22kw ac chargers out there that I can't take full advantage of because of that
That indicator noise is probably not the best for anyone that works in an intensive care unit/resuscitation room at a hospital lol.
I think at this point you'd be foolish not to wait for the Renault 5 announcement in Feb. Also you can get a great used e208 for sub-£15k, which just makes the new car look unnecessary.
This is a beautiful little car
Nicola, yet again a brilliant review. And indeed of one of the best, if not THE Best 'small' EV. This would be top of my list. Looks amazing. And does exactly what it says it will do. That said a lot of dosh for the EV. The petrol is so much better value. Things need to change. Thank you.
The biggest problem with Stellantis is batteries are NOT expensive!! They have be dropping like stones. Plus Stellantis use exactly the same batteries and motors in all of their cars. So they can't even pretend that they don't benefit from mass production. Add in the fact that all Stellantis models devalue by 50%+ in two years.
And also they are saving on the cost of the ICE drive train. They seem to all think we have forgotten about these small points.
@@jameschapman4824 They clearly think that we are stupid... Electric motor is only about £1,000 & battery £4,000. Motor & Drive train... has to be at least £2,000 to £3,000
Yet they add £12,000 over a petrol model. 🤣🤣🤣
Love all Peugeot cars! Especially the alluring 208 Pug. Although I would never consider an electric model, and would opt for the hybrid at best.
Is the hybrid version a plug-in or a so called "mild" hybrid?
@@pdebie1982 Mild Hybrids 👍
The new touchscreen looks like a nice upgrade over our 2021 e-2008. Do we reckon the older models will get that in a future software update, seeing as the screens are basically the same?
It's different hardware behind the head unit, so unlikely.
Where was this filmed? I would love to drive a Peugeot there too.
Hume is always so Humorous! I sure wish we had EVs like this here on our side of the pond. Por curiosidad, ¿te defiendes bien en castellano? ¿o catalán?
Thank you.
To Peugeot's or Stellantis' defense, having a regen that won't bring the car to a full stop and thus force you to use the actual brakes a little will prevent the brakes from rusting and becoming useless when you really need them, which is a known issue for EVs that are driven with strong regen only.
Beautiful car inside out, the range is just about good. I'd definitely consider a Peugeot EV in the future. Just look at the 3008 with 700 km of range. :)
I much prefer to have the option. Just approach the red light a little faster every so often, meaning you need to use the brake a bit.
In cold or wet weather Teslas employs brake disc wiping. It repeatedly applies an imperceptible amount of brake force to remove water from the surface of the brake discs.
I got on well with the i-cockpit straight away but Mike is 1 foot taller than me. Comparing the petrol auto GT 136 to the electric GT shows an 8k difference. considering how long Peugeot have been making the e-208 is is crazy! If the e-208 was a bit more than the petril version dealers could upsell people into them but not at £8k.
That price 🤣😂. Good looking car mind. I wonder if the guys on the indicators were listening to "popcorn" 😜at the time 😁
I have 2021 e-208 gt.Best car I have ever had.Even in cold weather have had range of 213 mlles.
I am getting average of 3.7 miles to kWh
I top it up once a week at an electric cost of £10.77
Great to drive,very quiet and well built.
People who go on about how bad electric cars are have obviously never had one or tried one
Yes a new one is expensive
Mine was just 2 years old with 6000 miles on the clock
It’s the only way to buy an electric car!
I guess they'll immediately be discounted by up to £8-10k like other recent new Stellantis cars. Have you seen the price of the new e3008? Even the smaller (73kwh) battery in top spec is over £50k!
Carwow dealers quoted £24k for the 2024 model but in horrible yellow colour. The E-Style is selling for £20k on Autotrader! Madness, because Carwow dealers were offering it for £32k back in Dec 2023 and the most discount they offered was £500! 🤣
The £12k difference is more than eaten up on the nearly new market. Plenty of examples around as well… All with a fair amount of miles per year, so they must be alright to drive!
I have one as a company car. It’s cheaper for me than a petrol version monthly due to the tax breaks and way cheaper to ‘fuel’ due to home charging. The claim of 5.1 miles per KWhr are total nonsense - I get 4.0 in summer and 3.3 in winter. Yes I know the new version is more efficient but not by that much.
However, if I was to buy one myself it would be £10,000 more. That’s nuts and I can see why private buyers are put off, especially as the GT model I have is £35k and that’s almost as much as the MG4 XPower. Saying that there are huge discounts on the e208 if you look for them.
It’s a good car but way overpriced - they need to take £10,000 off the list price and stop huge discounts, otherwise MG will continue to eat their lunch.
Thank you Nicola for mentioning the price difference and thats why a lot of people will not buy
the fiat 600e has a discount of £3000 making it cheeper and with a slightly bigger range,
This huge difference in prices between the ICE and EV versions is unacceptable. Current average cost per kWh of EV battery packs is $139 (this is the whole pack, not just the battery cells), so a 51kWh battery pack by rough calculation should be $7089. Charging £12000 extra for the electric version (and the electric motor should be cheaper than an ICE engine, as it is far less complicated and intricate to manufacture, as seen by the trend of cheaper cars having awful 3 cylinder engines to reduce costs) is just obscene and an afront to us consumers who want to buy a less polluting vehicle. All new ICE cars should have a £5000-£10000 levy applied to them if the car manufacturers are going to behave in this way.
Something we have known for a while and maybe have forgotten, When making ICE cars, manufacturers used to sell them for a pittance and then earn their profit on servicing and spares. With EVs, they are not going to be able to claw anything back after the sale. Is this how things will be then? Expensive to buy but cheap to run? Well, the Chinese, Koreans and Tesla may throw a spanner in that particular strategy. The legacy automakers have got to get much much much much more efficient at building their cars or die I think. I do like the little Peugeot though. Why can't other cars be as fun to drive?
I don't think the price would be so much of an issue if it had more range and more power. I fully appreciate that city cars can generally get away with smaller range and power is less of an issue when city driving, but people are unlikely to want to pay that amount, especially when the Citroen eC-3 is going to be starting at £21,000. The Citroen won't be as nice inside or out, but it's so much cheaper that people won't care and they are unlikely to want to pay an extra £11,000 for style and quality, when they can get something like a Volvo EX-30, which offers far more for around the same price as the Peugeot.
I very much doubt that the Citroen eC-3 will actually be £21,000 as people are saying, my guess would be £25,000; I'm happy to be proved wrong though. As we have no EV subsidies like the French, and it will have to be right-hand drive you can't just do a straight euro to pound price conversion. Also for some reason car manufacturers think that the United Kingdom is a discerning market where buyers will only buy the premium (i.e. more expensive) varients of car models. Sometimes manufacturers will not sell the base model of each model in the UK. Some cars do not even make it to the UK, like the Dacia Spring electric and I'm not sure if the rebadged Renault Twingo electric will make it here either. We are crying out for cheap good affordable cars in the UK, but the car manufacturers do not want to supply them here.
Ermm... eat words time, just looked at the Dacia website, and they say that it is coming to the UK this year.
Adaptive cruise will bring to a stop if the car in from stop - I’ve got a ‘70 e2008!
I think price is THE main focus for most of us when looking at new cars, not just one. They have to get these prices down to match ICE vehicles if they want to encourage people to switch.
Agree with you about the benefits and joy of One Pedal Driving. You guys could post more about the reasons why it is a joy, makes driving easy and improves efficiency etc. For me, if I drive an ICE car I miss it immediately and find it hard work to control the cars speed. Just saying. Scalexitric mode for me 100%
While OPD is nice, and a lot of people really like it. The efficiency benefits are really quite hard to prove. It does prevent use of the friction brakes for as much as possible of the deceleration. However, on the Stellantis e-CMP/CMP2 cars the brake blending is very effective. The challenge, of course, is driving style
I currently drive a Tesla Model 3 and yes... One Pedal Driving is really nice. It's comfortable and really easy to get used too. But! It wouldn't be a deal-breaker for me as I'm also used to driving the ICE (with manual gearbox) from my wife.
With the pricing they made for E 208, E Corsa and Astra Electric, im not quite sure Stellantis Group really wants to sell these cars???
They sell for 25% discount off list price. It’s a ridiculous sales model - high list price then high discounts. Not fooling anybody.
The basic petrol model has not 156 bhp or automatic gearbox so a mlittle bit misinformation about the actual price difference in the same spec.I agree it is expencive though. And it comes also with 11 ac charging.I think you can do better.
The outgoing model almost new is under £20k at many dealers, a much better deal
That’s a lot of money for such a small car! There are bigger cars on sale for the same price or cheaper. That’s an issue that needs sorting with EVs. £12k difference between petrol and ev models is mad.
I cant say how the 2024 version is like driving. But I guess it is pretty similar to the 208 e GT 2023 version. I tried it this weeknd and to be honest I was a little bit underwhelmed… It did not feel quick, tight and fun like a GT in my opinion should do. The brakes need to be pushed in half the way before gripping? The sport seats were soft and plush? The steering was kinda fun and alright. The sport mode did not feel different from normal to be honest and the touchscreen, where do I begin? Confusing and messy, never found what I was looking for and struggled to exit when I clicked wrong. The cruise control? Useless and not intuitive at all. Why is it so hidden and why isn’t it on the steering wheel? So old school that it is sad actually.
Since we are looking for a new ev to change our VW e-UP to get one with more range we tought it would be a nice upgrade alternative. Sat down in the 2024 version at the dealer. And the seats are the same, the brakes feels the same, the screen do not seem to be upgraded much either and the cruise control, still the old solution with a cheap lever.
It is not a bad car at all, dont get me wrong but it is just so underwhelming. Perfect for getting from A to B downtown. But it stops there unfortunately:(
I was thinking about getting a second hand one of the old version, but it's probably not a good idea.
The second hand value of the old version starts at 20K Euros (here in Germany), and there are a few people selling them for 25K and more. Which is a lot of money when at the end of next year VW will be releasing the ID.2 for 25K Euros here in Germany. So the second hand value of these e208 will drop through the floor when the ID.2 comes out.
forget 30k, discounts of 10k from dealers make this the best deal right now
Nice car 😀
It's almost as if the European car makers are trying to put you off electric for as long as they can. No matter the Chinese will take over.
They do… because they don`t want to lose money with EVs like many other company. Ford lose money with each sold EV at this moment… Good busines? Definitely not! Sellantis seems to try to keep the price so that they don`t lose money… not good for sales, but maybe good for company economy.
@@haukionkannelford isn’t a good example because they make god awful EVs, which is why here in the UK they have only just added a second EV to their lineup after the meh Mach E
Stellantis group obviously doesn't want to sell electric cars. Why would they want to price out themselves for a semi okay car. Far too many downsides and specifications below industry standard.
I have just ordered the 136 Hybrid Petrol. Over 10 grand cheaper and hopefully as much fun as you say
Yeah, the price... it's like charging extra for a vegan sandwich (and then complaining there is not enough demand).
I’m. The “claw marks” remind me if Everton mints. I like the mints, no so much those DRLs.
If car features a rear wiper the car is designed so badly that it needs one! The 'ex-demonstrator' car that I've owned for 20 years has one windscreen wiper at the front and none at the rear because that is all it needs as demonstrated by 200,000 miles driven with one screen wiper :-)
Actually one pedal driving is, surprisingly, not the most efficient way of driving. That's because you are forced to decelerate more quickly than necessary. Even with an electric car, gradual coasting is still a more efficient way to show down. But it requires anticipation
Whipability should be a standard testing metric going forward 😂
I liked the pre-facelift design more.
I do like the front of the older model more with the single "fang" instead of claw stripes for lighting, but the rear of the newer model wins it over the older model. Never liked the design of the rear lights.
Is it looks green or yellow in real life?
Nicola, mettiti dei jeans più stretti, per favore👍🙏
Isn’t that indicator noise from the “popcorn” trak…🤔
Manufacturers need telling about this pricing strategy for EV customers… it’s really silly..!
I’ve followed EV development from the 50mile range Th!nk cars and for years they wrote how much cheaper EV’s are to produce than an ICE car..! ICE have 1000’s of precision made parts that need experts to assemble, setup and test etc … I know the manufacturers are hiding behind this battery expense thing but jeez they need to get a grip..!
I hate the steering wheel position of recent Peugeot models.
I'm a big EV fan but ... 12k more than the fossil-fuel version?? There's just no way. I wonder if Pug are pricing the ICE ones to shift them while they can?
Sorry but Peugeot is taking the p with the pricing. It is not just the £12k difference between ICE and EV identical versions, it is that it is clearly overpriced compared to the MG4 and BYD Dolphin.
This car feels like the latest ID3, dead on arrival due to the price - there is no reason to buy this compared to MG4 or Dolphin. This is one for Peugeot fans only - but it does look very nice
Even the dolphin is massively overpriced compared to how much they are going for in Thailand or Malaysia. Not to mention the price in their home country
@@PsychedMedia Couple of points. There is import duty and VAT to pay which means govt. takes roughly 1/3rd of the purchase price, I suspect taxes are a lot lower in Thailand and Malaysia and of course no import duty in China for cars made in China. Also BYD will have set the UK price based on the UK market.
@@justinstephenson9360 in thai the mg4 costs roughly the same as the Dolphin,in the UK MG4 is much cheaper than the Dolphin despite coming from China as well. So there's that
@@PsychedMedia Not sure where you get your UK pricing buy I can get the MG4 SE long range for £29,495 and the BYD Dolphin with the 60 Kw battery for £29311-30,766. So pretty much same price - MG4 has a slightly better range but not as good interior (I like both) - not true that MG4 is "much cheaper" in UK. Would I prefer that they were £4-5k cheaper? Of course I would but they are still undercutting most of their competition by a lot
I bet they won't lower the price until the R5 releases. Between this 208 and the Corsa, Stellantis faces almost no competition in this segment. The Zoe is too old tech and the Dolphin grew 20cm for the european version.
Thanks for the heads-up about the e-style model. That's just a rubbish move by Peugeot. The car looks really great though.
The new Renault 5 Retro will eat this. The price says nothing about the Car more about the brand is about four years behind. This Car looks like a rushed refresh ahead of the Chinese onslaught. If the price was £24k I’d be clapping my hands but pug still needs to refine mass production.
Nice Peugeot
The cost of the Stellantis cars is crazy and it seems they are not wanting to sell electric cars. For not a huge amount extra, there are so many much larger and better range EV's.
When China and Tesla finally bring the similar size cars around £25k it will be a problem.
They don`t want to lose money by selling EVs like many other company does…
That is why they are expensive. They are not looking to get market share. Just to have EV option in their broshyres and sell few of these at no loss.
Nicola looking gorgeous as always❤
I always enjoy your reviews. 👍
I was never a fan of hatches. As soon as you said this doesn't have 1 pedal driving, its a hard pass for me.
Otherwise, great review. 🙂
I'm pretty certain an electric motor, inverter and various other gubbins (cables etc) would be no more expensive than a complicated engine and gearbox. Plus battery prices are now below $100 per kWh so the cost this one is nowhere near £12000. Stellantis are taking the mickey and should be avoided like the plague.
Im 190cm. Therefore, I hate the icockpit design. I will always choose Opel (vauxhal) or the future Citroen eC3.
£12'000 buys a lot of petrol, servicing, tyres and maintenance.
£14,000 buys a used e208 that if you can home charge will save you £1,000 a year on fuel alone if you do reasonable mileage. Home charging is the key though.
@@ISuperTed I was comparing the costs of buying new.
Brand new previous model e-208’s are available with up to £12k off RRP. Same with the Corsa. Check auto trader.
@@mikewhitehead50 I was comparing the price of exactly the same car when it's either ICE or EV. That's why I said £14'000 pounds will buy a hell of a lot of free motoring if you buy exactly the same car as an ICE rather than an EV. £14'000 would probably be 3 years petrol for nothing, all the servicing, all the insurance and enough left over for a couple of nice holidays.
@@alunjones2550I was comparing the same car. 208 Allure Premium+ ICE can be had for £19k new. The EV equivalent, £24k. So the real gap is more like £5k, not £14k.
Why are we still being given such ridiculous mileage figures from all the car companies, doing a proper on road range test would be much more helpful when considering spending up to £36K for such a small car 🤨🤨
Hi Nicola
i have a 2023 e208gt range is 150miles in the real world
Is it pea green or pee green? 🤣
I have the 2020 e208. I still think it's one of the best looking cars out there 😊
I like the look but the price……

0:19 nope wasn't thinking that at all, I was thinking when was this filmed because it's def not the weather for what you're wearing in england, it's a F siberia over here what are you on about bruv
Thanks for all the "work" 😁. Nice review. Nice car, but at least €8.000 to high in price. We will wait for what Renault brings with the R5 E-tech. More in the €25k section and V2G functionality 👍👍
Should have come with 65kWh battery and 200-240 HP. Why bother adding 18 HP and 2kWh to your platform? Oh, and the great thing is, you can get the old drivetrain in the new car as well...
I wouldn't be surprised if it was software tweaks for both the motor and battery.
Lots of alternatives at that price that are better
Blood daft that its so expensive, car designed for the younger market presumably, not many mid 25 yr olds i know can afford over 30k on a car, and in the middle of the financial woes we have at the moment.
I have the Mokka e. Great car but seriously over priced
An extra 2kwh hour battery at 3 miles per kwh means another 6 miles there no way ever outside of a lab it will get 248 miles
Take it from me as a current owner, you get 4.0 per kWhr in summer and 3.3 in winter. Even if the new car has a useable battery of 50 that gives you 200 miles ish in summer and 165 in winter. 248 will never happen!
The new motors are more efficient than the old ones, apparently.
Great car but crack pricing will ultimately see more sales go to the Far East. I don't know how you can remove a complex internal combustion engine and driveline and replace it with a simple electric motor and small battery pack and end up with something costing 12K more. Either Stellantis have a massive hole in their pension scheme and are looking at this baby to top it up, or they take the public for fools. Shame, I like it a lot but not at that price. It's a no from me.
0-100km?????
36 grand wow Tesla price
This would be a great car at £25,000 but it's not £25,000 so will pass. On the plus side this will probably be 15000 in a couple of years, so maybe get it as a second city/local country lanes run around (if my wife ever learns to drive!)
The reality is you can buy them for £25k anyway and £15k a year old. Not a buy at that point but I wouldn’t get a new one even with a big discount.
Around $A5,000 more than a RWD Model 3 !!! Stalks aren’t THAT expensive………right ?.
Made of gold… maybe…
😂
The car is for middle class and it’s totally cool
Save me time petrol, hybrid or Petrol hurry up
Some reliability issues are reported too, just in case private buyers aren't put off already by the price. In fact without the company car scam I doubt many EVs would be viable in UK
Her review is detailed and complete. But i can't focus on the car. She looks incredible in those jeans. Oh to be young again.
