2015 Peugeot 208 pricing and specification

The updated 2015 Peugeot 208 range has just gone on sale in Australia with refreshed styling, new powertrain and new colour options.

All models feature Euro 6 emissions-compliant drivetrains, with the new 208 Access joining the range for the first time.

Packing either a 60kW 1.2-litre PureTech matched with a five-speed manual, or a 81kW 1.2-litre turbocharged PureTech e-THP engine paired with a new Aisin six-speed automatic, the Access manual is priced from $15,990 RRP, while the Access Auto carries an RRP of $18,990.

A 208 GT-Line is now also available and aim at those who want sporty styling without the performance of the 208 GTi, which remains a range topper.

The GTi now gains an uprated engine that produces 153kW and 300Nm of torque, enabling it to hit 100km/h from a standstill in 6.7 seconds – 0.1 seconds faster than the pre-facelift model.

Aesthetically, the 2015 model comes with restyled front bumper paired to a wider, deeper grille with 3D-effect gloss black finish, laser engraved lines and black fog light clusters.

There are fresh new 16-inch and 17-inch wheel options, with painted or diamante finishes available, as well as a laser-engraved option as an accessory.

In terms of technology, a reversing camera is available as an option from Active models and above, while Active City Brake (which automatically brakes the car at speeds of less than 40km/h) is available on Allure and GT-Line variants.
