Start with what the Peugeot 108 is: a 3-door hatchback / 5-door hatchback with 1.0 , built from 2014 to 2022, as electrification stopped being an experiment and the crossover took every market. What it meant takes a little longer. The shape is credited to Sébastien Criquet.
How it came about
The Peugeot 108 is a city car launched by French manufacturer Peugeot in March 2014 at the Geneva Motor Show. The 108 is related to the Citroën C1 and Toyota Aygo, and shares their floorpan, engines, transmission and electrics. Sales commenced in June 2014 in Mainland Europe and in July 2014 in the United Kingdom.
The model, along with the Citroën C1, was phased out on January 1, 2022, when Toyota took full ownership of the plant in the Czech Republic, and announced the model would not be renewed. Production ended without any direct successor. The cars were all built in the TPCA factory in the Czech Republic for nearly seven years.
The hardware
The engine is 1.0 other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. On the scales it comes to 840-956 kg. The layout matters: the engine drives the front wheels, the packaging choice that gives a small car a big cabin. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Family and rivals
In the Peugeot line-up the Peugeot 108 has a clear place: it replaced the Peugeot 107; the factory was Kolín (TPCA), Czech Republic. The cars a buyer would have weighed it against include the Ferrari 488, the Infiniti Q50, the Chevrolet Camaro. Its Peugeot stablemates include the Peugeot Onyx and the Peugeot Pars.
