The Car You'll be Driving
The new Peugeot 208 MK2 is a stunning car inside and out. It's a great car to learn in.

Using the top of the range manual GT model ensures driver safety and technology supports your learning with the help of: parking sensors, hill start assist, electronic parking brake, reversing cameras and top down cameras.


Driver Safety
The dual-controlled Peugeot 208 MK2 is fitted with:

  • Active safety braking- this enables the car to quickly brake automatically, without driver intervention, in the event of a potential hazardous situation.
  • Lane keeping assist - this keeps the car in the lane, providing a little correctional steer if required.
  • Lane departure warning - a little noise and light appears on the dash to warn of drifting. This is sometimes caused by a lapse in concentration for newer drivers.
  • Blind spot monitoring - great for on dual carriageways and motorways as it lets you know if a car is sat just out of view from the mirrors.
  • Traction control - helps to keep the car stuck to the road and more easily controlled.
  • ABS - anti-lock braking system which reduces the risk of skids.
