Peugeot 208, Mazda2 and Skoda Fabia
Our comparative review included vehicles of similar power: gasoline versions of the five-door Peugeot 208 1.6 (120 hp), Skoda Fabia 1.6 (105 hp), and Mazda2 with an engine of 1.5 (103 hp). Each competitor offers two configuration options. The most affordable was a car of Czech blood. Prices for the Skoda Fabia 1.6 version of Ambition will start from 519, 000 rubles, but the set of vital benefits is absolutely Spartan. It does not hurt to buy at least air conditioning and an audio center. In this case, the hatchback will pull 559, 000 rubles. - it still comes out significantly cheaper than the French and Japanese competitors. Moreover, if you compare the versions with the automatic transmission, then Fabia, packed in full program with a juicy add-on of options from Package 9, will be only slightly more expensive than the starting version of the Peugeot 208 and even cheaper than the Mazda2 1.5 in the most affordable version of Energy. Moreover, the transmissions of the last two cars are 4-speed - against six gears of the “automatic machine” of the Czech hatchback.

The second line in the price ranking is occupied by Peugeot 208. Please note: the modification we selected with a 1.6 petrol engine with a capacity of 120 hp Available exclusively with automatic gearbox. It seems that Peugeot marketers have decided to anticipate the most daring consumer fantasies. Other cars from our trio cannot boast of a seven-inch touch screen monitor (slightly deployed towards the driver) with rich multimedia functionality. Only the Peugeot 208 can be ordered with a panoramic glass roof. A curious touch: the LED snake with the ability to adjust the brightness level illuminates the frame of the opening. Among the exclusive options of the 208th are leather upholstery, a Russified navigation system with maps of Russia.

Mazda2, although burdened with a heavy price tag, immediately offers an impressive contra-set (ABS, front and side airbags, window curtains) and a good comfortable component, including an audio center, air conditioning - this equipment should suit most buyers. As for the top-of-the-range Sport equipment, many cars of a higher class can envy the equipment of such a "two-piece".

- The choice of the most zealous, of course, Skoda Fabia in the Ambition configuration, and the higher Elegance step is one of the best in terms of price - equipment. The Czech hatchback also seems to be an excellent option, since it allows you to flexibly adapt the optional set to customer requests. Fashionistas and women of fashion are unlikely to resist the dude Peugeot 208, here there are various options for the design of the cabin, and a trump card in the form of a number of options not provided for in the price list of competitors. But with a panoramic roof, leather interior, navigation system and other bells and whistles, the 208th will be the most expensive of our trio of city hatchbacks. For those who are not constrained by funds with a driver’s core, it makes sense to look at Mazda2 - the option is not the cheapest, but initially follows the all-inclusive principle. It is also important that the set of active and passive safety features in the “dvushka” will be convincing in any way.
