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.
Standard equipment in the GT includes adaptive LED headlights, 17-inch Salamanca alloy wheels, power-folding side mirrors (with heating and puddle lights), roof rails, keyless entry, rear privacy glass and LED tail-lights.
Inside, push-button start, a 10.0-inch touchscreen multimedia system, satellite navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support, digital radio, a six-speaker sound system, a digital instrument cluster, a wireless smartphone charger, climate control, an auto-dimming rearview mirror and fabric upholstery feature.
Advanced driver-assist systems extend to autonomous emergency braking (with cyclist and pedestrian detection), lane-keep and steering assist, cruise control, speed sign recognition, high-beam assist, driver attention alert, active blind-spot monitoring, a reversing camera, front and rear parking sensors, and tyre pressure monitoring.
Options for the Mazda CX-30, Nissan Qashqai, Volkswagen T-Roc and Skoda Kamiq rival include a panoramic sunroof ($1990) and a luxury package ($2690) that bundles in heated front seats, a power-adjustable driver’s seat with massaging functionality, and Nappa leather upholstery.
