Peugeot’s Australian operations, managed by local distributor Sime Darby, is keen to get its hands on more sporty GT models.

In the coming months, the company will launch the warmed-up 308 GT 150kW petrol and 131kW diesel hatches in Australia.

Those models, although not quite up to ‘hot hatch’ GTi standards, are expected to enter as neat companions to their regular counterparts and the smaller 208 GTi - also a compelling option with 147kW on tap.

As with Renault’s Clio GT, the 308 GT will be positioned as an option for those seeking a sporting look and feel without the cost of a top GTi model.

“Australians love performance and sports-oriented models, as proven by the response to the 208 GTi, so there is an opening for us to talk to a range of customers who don’t necessarily want the high-performance experience of a GTi variant,” Peugeot Australia marketing boss Dimitri Andreatidis said today.

“The GT Line will give us the ability to offer a vehicle that offers visual and performance upgrades, while still maintaining comfort in day-to-day driving duties.”
