According to various press reports here in Poland and beyond, Peugeot is expected to launch the all-new 208 hatchback in the autumn of 2012. The newcomer will follow in the footsteps of its predecessor, the 207, which currently ranks among Europe’s top-selling models.

Industry sources claim that although Peugeot designers have not finished work on the 208 yet, the car will offer sporty, dynamic looks, but its grill will be toned down somewhat, adding to the product’s distinctive quality and elegance.

new-generation model due in: 2012
