What you get
All derivatives of the new Peugeot now boast three vertical “light claws” integrated into gloss black inserts on the bumper.
The updated lighting fixtures are complemented by a new grille which itself wears the redesigned Peugeot badge that is wider than before.
The taillights were reimagined, too, showing off three LED sections housing horizontal slats, as were the alloy wheels.
Inside, the updates extend to a revised multifunction steering wheel, more “upmarket” seat fabrics, and a new 10-inch infotainment display on the dash.
Standard equipment on the new 2008 Allure comprises push-button start, Comfort seats in tri-material cloth with quartz stitching, dual-zone climate control, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a wireless smartphone charger, and six speakers.

The model is then completed with cruise control, rear parking sensors, a reverse camera, lane-keep assist, driver attention alert, tyre-pressure monitoring, and six airbags.
Stepping up to the GT brings Dynamic seats wrapped in “Belomka” fabric with adamite stitching, front parking sensors, front and rear-view cameras, blind-spot detection, Full-LED headlights, a diamond-black contrast roof, and distinctive 17-inch alloys.

The setup is good for 96kW and 230Nm, and returns an average fuel usage of 6.5l/100km.
