Peugeot added a new trim to the 208 today, and the cheapest way to get it comes with three pedals. The Peugeot UK press release dated 12 November 2026 puts the 208 ENVY Turbo 100 6-Speed Manual at £23,115 OTR. That’s the entry price for the trim. The hybrid costs more, the electric car costs more, and both of them are automatic.
ENVY sits on top of Allure, and Peugeot says it costs £500 more. For that you get 16-inch NOMA diamond-cut wheels with a “Black Mist” varnish, a Black Diamond roof, gloss black bumper highlights and gloss black surrounds for the daytime running lights. Alvao Green paint is standard on the 208, and other colours are optional. Inside, Peugeot fits its “Dynamic” front seats, which it says normally come only on GT and above, trimmed in turquoise “TREMEZZO” fabric with “Opalite” stitching. You also get Open & Go keyless entry and start, a 180° HD reversing camera, aluminium door sills and a black headlining. That’s on top of the Allure kit: front and rear parking sensors, dark tinted rear windows and the 10-inch i-Cockpit digital instrument panel.
The official numbers
From Peugeot UK’s ENVY release, MRRP on the road:
- 208 ENVY Turbo 100 6-Speed Manual: £23,115
- 208 ENVY HYBRID 110 e-DSC6: £24,915
- E-208 ENVY Electric 50kWh 136: £25,565, or £24,065 after the Electric Car Grant
- 2008 ENVY Turbo 100 6-Speed Manual: £26,165
- 2008 ENVY 1.2L PureTech 130 EAT8: £28,465 (not available in Northern Ireland)
- 2008 ENVY HYBRID 145 e-DSC6: £29,215
- E-2008 ENVY Electric 54kWh 156: £29,965, or £28,465 after the grant
So the manual 208 ENVY is £1,800 cheaper than the hybrid and £950 under the electric car even after the grant. On the bigger 2008, the manual undercuts the eight-speed automatic PureTech 130 by £2,300. Peugeot’s UK online store lists the Turbo 100 six-speed manual on the 208 Style, Allure and GT too, with the Style from £20,065 OTR at the time of writing. Store prices move, so check with a retailer.
The clutch
On the Peugeot UK 208 page, the engine list is simple. HYBRID 110 and HYBRID 145 are “Automatic 6-speed”. TURBO 100 is “Manual 6-speed”. That makes the Turbo 100 the only 208 you can buy with a clutch pedal, and in ENVY trim it’s also the cheapest one. Peugeot calls the Turbo 100 a new engine with 70% new parts. It’s a 1,199 cc three-cylinder making 101 hp (74 kW) at 5,500 rpm and 205 Nm from 1,750 rpm. It has a new variable-geometry turbocharger, 350-bar direct injection, Miller-cycle running and, importantly, a timing chain. Peugeot says the chain, a redesigned block, new pistons and new rings are there for durability and controlled oil consumption, and it has stretched servicing to every two years or 16,000 miles. Torque from 1,750 rpm through six ratios you pick yourself is a decent deal in a small hatch. Peugeot quotes 47.7 to 56.8 mpg combined (WLTP) and 116 to 120 g/km of CO₂ for the 208 Turbo 100.
The rest of it
The 208 still uses Peugeot’s i-Cockpit layout, with a small steering wheel and the instruments set high above it. The cabin photo Peugeot supplies shows an automatic, so picture a gear lever where that toggle is. Peugeot says the Alvao Green colour was inspired by Pantone and by the landscape of Alvao National Park, and it’s standard on the ENVY. Peugeot gives the Turbo 100 its standard warranty, and cars with this engine are also eligible for Peugeot Care, which can extend cover to eight years or 100,000 miles if you service the car in the Peugeot network.
A new trim usually brings bigger wheels and a higher price. This one puts the six-speed manual first on the price list and makes it the cheapest way into the new trim.
