Peugeot's latest E-208 GTi video accompanies a useful specification update. Its October 2026 release quotes 281 PS and 345 Nm, with a 5.5-second 0-100 km/h sprint. That trims two tenths from Peugeot's April announcement, giving buyers a clearer benchmark than the 'new legend' slogan.

Peugeot E-208 GTi Video
What changed since April?
The electric GTi keeps its 180 km/h maximum speed. Peugeot's revised figures also describe a less aggressive suspension drop. These changes make checking the specification date worthwhile when comparing reviews or dealer listings.
| Peugeot specification | April 2026 | October 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Motor output | 280 PS | 281 PS |
| 0-100 km/h | 5.7 seconds | 5.5 seconds |
| Lowering versus standard E-208 | 30 mm / 1.18 in | 25 mm / 0.98 in |
Hardware behind the acceleration
A mechanical limited-slip differential helps manage traction as the front wheels transmit torque. Peugeot pairs 355 mm (13.98-inch) front discs with four-piston calipers. Its battery holds 54 kWh gross and 51 kWh usable; revised coolant control targets sustained power during hard driving. Peugeot claims the cooling strategy prevents power restriction, a claim independent testing still needs to assess.
| October tyre specification | Fitment | Combined WLTP range |
|---|---|---|
| Michelin Pilot Sport 4S | Standard | 352 km |
| Hankook Ventus S1 Evo3 | No-cost option | Up to 375 km |
Which tyres should you choose?
- Choose the Hankooks if the higher official range best suits your driving.
- Compare independent wet-braking and handling tests before choosing for performance.
Pro-Tip: Confirm the tyre specification on your order. The 23 km WLTP difference compares laboratory results; weather, speed and driving style will change your road range.
