Unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2019 and on sale across Europe from that summer, with the fully electric e-208 revealed alongside it. It moves from the old PF1 to the Common Modular Platform (CMP/eCMP), shared with the 2008, DS 3 Crossback, Opel Corsa F and Mokka B, Citroën C4 and Lancia Ypsilon IV, saving about 30 kg and improving aerodynamics and NVH. Styling is by Kevin Gonçalves and Yann Beurel (exterior) and Eric Dejou (interior), with a new i-Cockpit (digital instrument cluster, small steering wheel, touchscreen) and optional adaptive cruise control, lane centering, automatic parking and blind-spot monitoring. It is built in Trnava, Zaragoza, Kenitra and El Palomar (Argentina), and the Brazilian range added a 1.0-litre turbo 130 PS engine from Fiat.

We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.
