The Peugeot GT Line trim has been announced for the UK market, with models such as the 208, 308, 508 and RCZ receiving the treatment. Models equipped with the GT Line treatment can be marked out by the presence of larger wheels, twin exhaust outlets, full LED headlights with bidirectional indicators (308 and 508 only), LED rear lights (except RCZ) and a smattering of GT Line badges.

On the inside, black and red trim gets featured alongside a RedLine colour scheme for the touchscreen system. Beginning with the facelifted 208 hatch, the GT Line trim adds on an ‘Equalizer’ front grille with red 3D accents, 17-inch Caesium alloy wheels, gloss black door mirrors, chrome window surrounds and an exhaust finisher, with GT Line badges and red Peugeot lettering rounding off exterior upgrades.

Inside, the 208 GT Line sports black and red sports seats with contrasting red stitching – the same treatment is echoed on the door panels and gear lever boot. Elsewhere, gloss black door handles with red accents, a flat-bottom steering wheel, black seat belts with contrasting red lining and aluminium Peugeot side sills and aluminium sports pedals are featured.

The treatment is available on both three- and five-door body styles and is offered with a choice of a 1.2 litre PureTech engine with 110 hp mated to either a manual or automatic transmission or a 1.6 litre BlueHDi diesel engine pumping out 100 hp or 120 hp.

On the 308, the GT Line trim is available for both the sedan and estate body styles. Up front, the 308 GT Line features a grille with the Lion emblem embedded within while full LED headlights and LED taillights are featured. Elsewhere, 18-inch Diamant alloy wheels, a black lacquered rear diffuser housing twin exhaust outlets and a multiple GT Line badges complete the exterior makeover.

Stepping inside, upgrades include red stitching on the Alcantara seats, full-grain leather treatment on the steering wheel, door panels, dashboard and gear level boot. An anthracite headliner and door pillars, stainless steel side sills, aluminium pedals and 9.7-inch touchscreen system with RedLine colour scheme is featured. A Driver Sport Pack is available as an option.

Engine choices for the 308 GT Line include a 1.2 litre PureTech paired to a manual or automatic gearbox, a 1.6 litre BlueHDi mill with a manual transmission and a 2.0 litre BlueHDi with a choice of manual or automatic ‘boxes. All engines comply with Euro 6 emission standards.

Exterior enhancements include a front grille with the Lion badge embedded within while full LED headlights and LED rear fog lamps are standard. On the 508, 18-inch GT Line alloy wheels are featured along with twin exhaust outlets – the estate adds on tinted rear windows and a panoramic sunroof.

Inside, red stitching complements the Marston Tramontane leather combination seats while the seven-inch touchscreen features the aforementioned RedLine colour scheme. Two engine choices are offered, with a 1.6 litre BlueHDi paired to either a manual or automatic gearbox and a 2.0 litre BlueHDi with a six-speed manual.

Finally, the RCZ GT Line brings to the table 19-inch Technical Grey alloy wheels, xenon headlights with titanium masks, black door mirror, red Peugeot lettering and twin exhaust outlets. Inside, contrasting red stitching is to be found on the steering wheel, Alcantara-leather combination seats and door panels.

      Bro. Enough with your Toyota branding. Don’t you feel bored with this? Don’t expect every brand to follow Toyota. And fyi, Toyota design feels so old and outdated and yet overpriced.

    To remain competitive…Peugeot desperately needs a new engine to complement the 1.6 lit prince engine. Something in the region of 2lit and able to produce at least 250hp and 350nm of torque…in a reliable manner.

        Coz the RCZ is grossly underpowered and if they want to compete with the likes of the GTI, 1 Series and A class, technically there is only so much you can stretch the Pug’s 1.6lit engine and still ensure reliability…I have lived with this powerplant for 7 years now and know it inside out…
