The 208 Access 1.0 VTi showcases the French marque\u2019s latest design language, but its three-door configuration adds a further element of youthful flair and sportiness to the already popular range.\u00a0The striking grille, with its black honeycomb grille and dark aluminium surround, is flanked on either side by boldly proportioned headlights, with close attention to fine detail as true of this entry-level model as it is across the 208 range.The boomerang-shaped tail lights are another visually distinctive feature, while the overall silhouette is sleek and wind-cheating, but also compact and athletic. A smooth roofline and sculpted sides add to the dynamic aesthetics.The interior echoes the smart functionality of the entire 208 range. The front bucket seats and rear bench are upholstered in attractive, yet durable cloth upholstery, while the overall fit and finish is exemplary.Standard equipment includes electric front windows, central locking, Isofix child seat mounts, and an on-board trip computer. ABS brakes with EBD and dual front airbags for the driver and front passenger ensure a high degree of active and passive safety. A full-size spare wheel is standard.\u00a0The three-door Access 1.0 is powered by an efficient, in-line three-cylinder engine. The 999 cc unit has a maximum raptured output of 50 kW at 6 000 r\/min, combined with a torque peak of 95 Nm at 3 000 r\/min. That urge is delivered to the front wheels via a five-speed manual gearbox.The 208 Access 1.0 VTi is a brisk performer, with a 0 to 100 km\/h sprint time of 14 sec, and a 163 km\/h top speed. Of even greater interest is the Peugeot 208\u2019s fuel efficiency, which comes to an impressive average of 4,3 litres\/100 km. Open-road consumption drops to an exceptional 3,8 litres\/100 km.The three-door Peugeot 208 Access 1.0 VTi is covered by a three-year warranty, as well as Peugeot\u2019s Premium Plan – a five-year\/60 000 km maintenance plan – included as standard. \u00a0At just R147 500, the pricing represents strong value and affordability, making the newcomer an ideal purchase for first-time buyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
