Peugeot e-208 practicality and boot space
- Identical to combustion car
- Not overly spacious in the back
- Bootspace in the middle of its rivals
Thanks to clever shared architecture the e-208's battery is mounted below the floor and means identical cabin and bootspace to the conventionally powered 208.
That means it's not exactly huge in the back, with tall passengers struggling a bit behind a tall driver, but on the whole it's what you'd expect a supermini to provide. Cut-outs in the rear of the front seats help to boost leg room but they're made of plastic and are a bit hard to rest your legs against.
Like the petrol and diesel 208 the boot measures a generous 311 litres despite the extra space taken up by the battery, meaning more room than a Ford Fiesta, but less than a Renault Clio.
