Peugeot Introduces Envy Trim for 208 and 2008 with New Style and Features

Peugeot has added a new trim level called Envy to its 208 supermini and 2008 crossover lineups. The Envy builds on the existing Allure specification and brings new design touches and interior upgrades for the 2026 models.

Styling Updates on 208 and 2008

The new Envy trim adds several visual upgrades to both cars. The 208 hatchback gains 16-inch diamond-cut wheels with a Black Mist varnish finish. It also features glossy black highlights on the front and rear bumpers, along with aluminum door sills branded with Peugeot lettering. The roof gets a unique Black Diamond finish exclusive to this trim. A new green paint, called Alvao Green, is offered as standard on the 208.

Meanwhile, the 2008 crossover receives a set of 17-inch Karakoy diamond-cut wheels, also finished with Black Mist varnish. It gains similar glossy black trim enhancements and a new standard blue paint named Nazaro Blue. Both models offer additional paint colors beyond these two.

Interior Upgrades Reflecting Higher Trim Levels

Inside, Envy models gain Dynamic front seats wrapped in new Tremezzo embossed fabric. The seats, door cards, and roof lining receive coordinated Opalite stitching and black accents. The Peugeot shield appears on the front headrests, emphasizing the trim’s upgraded status. A Mistral Black roof lining adds a darker, refined feel to the cabin.

Peugeot offers the Envy trim with gasoline, hybrid, and electric powertrains for both the 208 and 2008 in the UK market. Starting prices for the 208 Envy include:

Context on the 208 and 2008 Models

Both the Peugeot 208 and 2008 are based on the CMP platform and have been in production since 2019. They share their underlying architecture with models like the Jeep Avenger and Opel/Vauxhall Corsa F. The 2008 received a facelift in May 2023, followed by the 208 update two months later. These updates focused on exterior refinements and interior tweaks to keep these models competitive.

Peugeot’s UK range also includes other petrol, hybrid, and electric vehicles such as the 308 SW and 3008, catering to a wide range of buyers.
