The new Peugeot 208 consumes 2 liters of fuel per 100 km.

The upgraded Peugeot 208 compact hatchback has just made a strong impression with a record-breaking average fuel consumption of only about 2 liters of diesel per 100 km over a journey of more than 2,000 km.

The Peugeot 208's record was set at the end of April at Peugeot's Belchamp test track in France, under the supervision of the French regulatory authority UTAC.

The Peugeot 208 BlueHDi sets a record for fuel efficiency.

Accordingly, a production version of the Peugeot 208, equipped with a 1.6-liter BlueHDi 100 engine, Euro 6 emission standards, and a 5-speed manual transmission, was driven 2,152 km in 38 hours. Several drivers took turns driving the car, each driving for approximately 3-4 hours.

Although Peugeot officially claims a fuel consumption of 3 liters/100 km and low emissions of only 79g/km when using Michelin Energy Saver+ tires, the actual fuel consumption is much lower. Specifically, the 43-liter fuel tank only ran out after traveling the aforementioned 2,152 km, and the average actual fuel consumption of the upgraded Peugeot 208 is only equivalent to 2 liters of diesel/100 km – a figure that even a hybrid (gasoline/diesel combined with electric) car would envy!

The car was just unveiled at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show.

Known for its unique combination of Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) and additive filters, Peugeot's BlueHDi engine technology is one of the most effective diesel engine emission control systems on the automotive market today. This once again demonstrates Peugeot's superiority in automotive engine technology development, backed by its long history…
