The new generation of 2008 perfectly integrates sculptural aesthetics and bionics elements. This latest Peugeot family-style design language has been perfectly presented on the new Peugeot 208 unveiled at this year’s Geneva Motor Show. Its shape is full of sculptural sense, its style is tough and unique, and it has great visual tension. Even in a static state, it has the dynamic momentum of leaping up like a lion. Its avant-garde 18-inch two-color aluminum alloy wheels seldom appear on SUVs of the same level, perfectly echoing the high waistline design, making the body posture full of flowing power. The brand-new lion-claw-shaped headlights and lion-claw taillights are in harmony with each other. Its inspiration comes from the imprints left by lion claws on rocks. It emits dazzling light no matter day or night, as if proclaiming: “The lion king haunts, Please pay attention!” The black diamond style through the tail and the double tail row design form a layered and awe-inspiring tail shape, which is highly recognizable.

The GT and GT Line versions have a more sporty and visually impactful unique shape.
