Peugeot 108 VTi

The Peugeot 108 is a city car launched by French manufacturer Peugeot in March 2014 at the Geneva Motor Show.[1] For the United Kingdom, it went on sale in July 2014.[2] The 108 is related to the Citroën C1 and Toyota Aygo sharing the chassis, engines, transmission and electrics. Sales commenced in June 2014 in Mainland Europe.

The cars were all built in the same factory, which is located in the Czech Republic.[3]

Overview[]

The 108 is powered by a choice of two three cylinder petrol engines: a 1.0 litre VTi with 68 bhp, emitting up to 97g/km of CO2, with an e VTi producing 88g/km, and a larger 1.2 litre VTi has 82 bhp, and emits 99g/km of CO2. In an update for the spring of 2018, Peugeot introduced an updated interior which included new seat upholstery. There were no exterior changes.[4]

Discontinuation[]

The next generation 108, together with the Citroën C1 was planned to be released in March 2021 based on the New Global Architecture Platform, however the plan was cancelled.[5] It was then reported in November 2018 that the model along with the Citroën C1 would be phased out in 2021, when Toyota took full ownership of the plant in the Czech Republic, and the model would not be renewed.[6]
