New Peugeot 208 engine options confirmed

2012 Peugeot 208 Engines Confirmed The engine line-up for the new 2012 Peugeot 208 has been confirmed for the UK with a choice of five diesel and five petrol engines. It’s been a couple of months since the 2012 Peugeot 208 was revealed, but Peugeot has finally confirmed the extensive engine line-up for the 2012 208, and unsurprisingly the focus is on economy and emissions, with four of the diesel engines available hitting the increasingly uncredible 99g/km, and the smallest petrol engine managing the same feat. The 68bhp 1.4 litre diesel manages to be very frugal when it comes to emissions – especially with stop-start fitted – with emissions of just 87g/km and an average of 83.1mpg.

There was no clearer example of this than "insurance firms' willingness to pay compensation for whiplash claims which they suspect are fraudulent without requiring the claimant to undergo a medical examination".
