Peugeot 208 GTi: Price And Features For Hot New Pug

PEUGEOT 208 GTI AUSTRALIAN PRICE

Peugeot is trumpeting the return of 'the legend' this week, with the Australian launch of its new 208 GTi.

Lighter and more powerful than its 207 GTi predecessor, this hot new Pug is being thrust into the market as the 205 GTi reborn - the little streetfighter that put Peugeot on the map for hot hatches. 

The 208 GTi hits the Australian market at $29,990 plus on-roads, making it $4000 dearer than Ford's new Fiesta ST and just over $2000 more than the Polo GTI. 

Peugeot's many flag-waving and card-carrying GTi fans are unlikely to be put off by the difference however, meaning Australia's hot-hatch market just got hotter.
