The new Peu­geot 208, which only went on sale on 28 June, is already prov­ing to be incred­i­bly pop­u­lar with con­sumers as it has secured over 7,500 orders.

Mor­gan Lecoupeur, Mar­ket­ing Direc­tor at Peu­geot UK, said: ""There has been an incred­i­ble and pos­i­tive response to the new 208, illus­trated by the ini­tial 7,500 orders. It really has been a tremen­dous start for the car, as it was also named ""˜Best Super­mini' at the Auto Express Awards dur­ing the first week of launch.

""The 208 also obtained five stars from Euro NCAP, cer­ti­fy­ing its safety cre­den­tials, and was the first car in its seg­ment to achieve this fol­low­ing the intro­duc­tion of more demand­ing review criteria.""�
