DYNAMIC: Peugeot 308 GT

PEUGEOT will expand its latest 308 range later this year with a practical 308 SW and the dynamic 308 GT THP 175.

The latter is powered by the 1.6 litre turbo-charged THP 175bhp petrol engine, previously found in the 207 GTi THP 175. It is also fitted with a new 6-speed manual gearbox.

To match the dynamic nature of the engine, the exterior of the vehicle benefits from a number of cosmetic changes. The lower front bumper panel has a unique appearance which is combined with a rear spoiler and a reduced overall ride height.

Inside, the interior gains an aluminium gear knob and foot pedals and a new steering wheel design.

The 308 GT THP 175 will go on sale in the UK in April.

Replacing the 307 SW the forthcoming 308 SW features a panoramic glass roof that is now 27 per cent larger and extends beyond the heads of the second row passengers.

Underneath this, the rear seats in the second row are all individual, easy to remove, identical in size and offer a multitude of combinations. To enable seven occupants to be carried, two occasional rear seats can be fitted in the third row.

Access to the rear load area is either via the rear tailgate or the opening rear tailgate glass. With the second row seats in place it can accommodate up to 674 litres (under the rear load cover. With the seats removed it provides a total volume of 2,149 litres up to the level of the roof.

The 308 SW range will go on sale in the UK in June.
