Engines
All the petrol engines comply with the Euro 5 norm and the diesel engines have CO2-emissions of 99 g/km or lower. In addition to the four cylinder petrol engines carried over from the previous model, from September 2012 the 208 has been offered with two new three-cylinder units with variable valve timing – the 1.0 VTi (68 hp) and 1.2 VTi (82 hp). The 1.0 comes with an advertised fuel consumption of 4.3 L/100 km (66 mpg; 55 mpg) and a CO2 emissions value of 99 g/km.
The range of diesel units starts with the four-cylinder 1.4 e-HDi unit, originally introduced in 2010 for the 207, which provides 50 kW (68 PS; 67 hp) of power coupled, in the 208, with published fuel economy and emission figures of 3.4 L/100 km (83 mpg; 69 mpg) and 87 g/km.

Famous quotes containing the word engines:
“America is like one of those old-fashioned six-cylinder truck engines that can be missing two sparkplugs and have a broken flywheel and have a crankshaft that’s 5000 millimeters off fitting properly, and two bad ball-bearings, and still runs. We’re in that kind of situation. We can have substantial parts of the population committing suicide, and still run and look fairly good.”
—Thomas McGuane (b. 1939)
