The long-awaited Peugeot 208 GT Line drives just as good as it looks

SASSY and affordable The all new Peugeot 208 GT Line has recently undergone an avantgarde makeover, and the results purely speak for themselves.

If you’re in the market for a vehicle that not only offers sporty finishes and great quality but oozes the latest tech connectivi­ty with a bold i-cockpit and fuel efficient Pure Tech engine, then look no further than this newcomer.

first impression­s Checking out the exterior, the eyecatchin­g new headlights, with black and chrome finishes, create a sharper

and more assertive appearance. These, accompanie­d by LED daytime running lights and reposition­ed fog lamps, make for a much bolder looking vehicle that has evolved from its larger predecesso­rs.

Additional­ly, the revamped 208 GT Line has spiced up its bumpers to link to the integrated black and chrome grill, creating that coveted French-like appeal. Add the impressive caesium alloy wheels and you’ve got a keeper.

i- Cockpit Connectivi­ty As millennial­s live for technology and connectivi­ty, you’ll be completely taken in by the innovative i-cockpit, which has arranged instrument­s in the driver’s line of sight and acts as a mission control to allow you to access all the functional­ity of the on-board technology through your fingertips.

frugal fuel Consumptio­n and omissions Peugeot claim that the 208 GT Line’s impact on the environmen­t is merely 104g/km, with fuel consumptio­n a mere 4.5 litres/100km.

Safety and Security ABS and EBD braking systems along with EBA (Emergency Brake Assist) plus dual front and curtain airbags are standard (no hidden costs). The hazard lights activate automatica­lly under emergency braking.
