2021 Peugeot 2008 price and features: Sporty new GT grade expands appeal of Mazda CX-30, Nissan Qashqai, Volkswagen T-Roc and Skoda Kamiq rival

Peugeot Australia has added a third grade to the second-generation 2008 small SUV’s range, with the mid-range GT joining the entry-level Allure and flagship GT Sport.

Priced from $38,990 plus on-road costs, the GT more or less splits the difference between the Allure ($34,990) and GT Sport ($43,990).

Like the Allure, the GT is powered by a 96kW/230Nm 1.2-litre turbo-petrol three-cylinder engine, which is mated to a six-speed torque-converter automatic transmission. For reference, the GT Sport has a higher tune (114kW/240Nm) and an eight-speed unit.
