Peugeot has unveiled its all new compact city car, the 108, scheduled for its world premiere at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show.

With a 3D effect, the tailights make the brand's three-claw signature motif appear to emerge from the body

At 3,470mm long and 1,620mm wide, it's got the compact dimensions that will really make the difference in town. Its reduced overhangs and turning circle of just 9,600mm allow it to avoid obstacles with ease. This architecture allows the driving position to be brought well forward, providing excellent vision in every direction.

The car has been designed to excel in urban traffic. The front end is dominated by its bold grille, central beam and lower air intake, while the front lamps are firmly set into the bodywork. Common to all trim levels, their 'technical' design combines smart black and chrome to give the car a sharp and dynamic look. The upper sections contain LEDs for daytime running lights.

The all new Peugeot 108 is already packed with character, but customers can add even more by choosing from a wide range of personalisation options. For body colour, there are eight striking shades, including two which are exclusive to the model - Aïkinite is a golden copper, and Purple Berry, a stunning shade of violet. Reserved for the three-door hatchback are two versions of two-tone paint, Purple Berry and Zircon Grey, or Diamond White and Aïkinite.

Anyone opting for the 108 TOP! model has the choice of three retractable fabric roof colours - Black, Grey or Purple Berry (above)

With its compact dimensions, the all new Peugeot 108 is dynamic and agile around town, with excellent all-round visibility and practicality. On opening the tailgate, a boot that is generous for the segment - 196 litres (with puncture repair kit), 180 litres (with spare wheel) - is revealed. .

The 108 range is made up of four efficient three-cylinder power units - a 1.0-litre e-VTi rated at 68bhp emitting just 88g/km of CO₂, a 68bhp 1.0-litre VTi with CO₂ emissions of 95g/km and a 82bhp 1.2-litre PureTech VTi emitting 99g/km of CO₂. All engines are paired with a five-speed manual transmission. There is also a 1.0-litre VTi rated at 68bhp that is paired to a five-speed electronic transmission, producing 97g/km of CO₂.

The all new Peugeot 108 will have its world premiere at the Geneva Motor Show on 4^th March, and will go on sale in the U.K. on 1^st July 2014.
