Compare the Renault Clio vs Peugeot 208
AI generated from our expert reviews
Choosing between the Peugeot 208 and the Renault Clio comes down to how you weigh practicality against driving feel. The 208 has a bigger boot, offers more room with the back seats folded and can tow heavier loads. Both cars have narrow rear door openings that make getting into the back slightly tricky, and taller passengers will find legroom limited in the rear seats of either hatchback. Inside, the 208's infotainment system can be fiddly to use, while the Clio's screen software is a bit simple and quite slow to respond. On twisting country roads, the Clio has the 208 pipped for sporty driving, although the Peugeot remains fun to hustle along.
