Superminis

Peugeot’s designers started with three words to define the new 208: ”agile, sensuous and athletic”. Architectural regeneration and efficiency was a key target for the 208 and the Active HDi 70 has a diesel engine which utilises micro-hybrid technology, aerodynamics and lightweight materials to reduce CO2 emissions to just 87g/km. Petrol versions are only slightly higher: 99 – 135g/km). The brand new model has already won the coveted Auto Express Award for Best Supermini.

The fully-electric Mia is short and nimble on the outside but incredibly spacious inside for three or four people depending on the model. Like a McLaren F1 supercar, the driver sits centrally giving the passengers an enormous space to stretch their legs. The Mia’s sliding doors and an almost 'T-top' style roof facilitate getting in and out safely, especially in tight parking spots. The seat configuration allows for more boot space too.

Joining a car club means having means saving money and emissions,. A typical Zipcar member saves £3,162 per year vs. owning their own vehicle.
