GT versions of 3008 unveiled

JUST weeks after a world premiere unveiling in Paris, Peugeot has presented the new GT Line and GT versions of the new Peugeot 3008 SUV.

The GT version crowns the new Peugeot 3008 SUV range, exclusively equipped with a 2.0 litre BlueHDi 180bhp S&S EAT6 automatic powertrain and boasting Peugeot’s twotone Coupe Franche paint design as an option.

A GT Line version blends more affordable engines with the top-ofthe-range looks. The new Peugeot 3008 GT and GT Line continue the lion-brand’s move upmarket and will be available from launch at the end of 2016.

The new Peugeot 3008 SUV will be available in three mainstream levels of finish to include Access, Active and Allure trims. A level four GT Line and level five GT now complete the new 3008 SUV range.

Aimed at real car connoisseurs, the new range topping 3008 GT delivers a sportier exterior look along with even more performance and driving pleasure.

An exclusive chequered chrome radiator grille, distinctive front bumper, full LED headlights, copper GT logo on the front wing, double chrome exhaust pipes, aluminium roof bars, a stainless steel trim which runs along the roof to the rear spoiler, flared wheel arches and 19” tyres are combined with two-tone diamond-cut Boston wheel rims. LED welcome lighting, located in the door mirror shells, proudly projects the Peugeot logo on the ground.

A panoramic opening black glass roof with electric interior blind and blue ambient lighting, as standard, can be matched to an optional Coupe Franche paint design combining Platinum Grey, Amazonite Grey and Metallic Copper colours. The 2.0 litre BlueHDi 180bhp S&S EAT6 automatic six-speed gearbox is the most powerful engine in the range, providing even more intense driving pleasure.

Inside, the choice of materials, including alcantara or leather, fine copper stitching and genuine agedoak trim on the dashboard and door panels, make a significant contribution to the level of luxury and perceived quality in the passenger compartment. The meticulous at- tention to detail on the part of the designers of the GT version has produced something extremely refined and elegant.

The new Peugeot i-Cockpit®, standard from level one Access models, delivers an almost futuristic appearance to the driver compartment. The steering wheel, with GT logo, is even more compact than before and has two flats to make it easier to grip. A large 8” touch-screen in the centre of the dashboard is accompanied by six elegant piano-key toggle switches giving direct access to the main control functions: radio, climate control, navigation, vehicle parameters, telephone and mobile applications. The head-up instrument panel has morphed into a high-resolution 12.3” screen with futuristic graphics. It can be completely personalised from five different display modes controlled from the steering wheel, bringing together all that the driver could want in his field of view.

The new i-Cockpit® Amplify system is standard in the new Peugeot 3008 GT. GT Line engine choices include a choice of BlueHDi diesel, multi award-winning PureTech and e-THP petrol engines. Pricing will be
