Peugeot New Zealand has added its first hybrid to its fleet with the introduction of the all-new 208 GT which is priced from $45,990. 

The 2024 Peugeot 208 GT Hybrid is the first vehicle from the European manufacturer to feature a state-of-the-art hybrid powertrain, ensuring fuel efficiency and reduced emissions.

GM Sales for Peugeot NZ, Brian Carr, says the car represents a significant forward-looking turning point for the French brand. 

“Not all cars get handpicked to launch a new powertrain for an established, industry-leading brand, so you can be sure the ones that are, are special. Very special. And the 2024 Peugeot 208 GT Hybrid ticks that box. 

“Plus as the first Peugeot to boast the new hybrid powertrain, it also underlines Peugeot’s  commitment to sustainability and electrifying all Peugeot models, both passenger cars and  commercial vehicles, by 2025.” 

It has a fuel efficiency figure of 4.7 L/100km from its 1.2L Turbo, 3-cylinder petrol engine which is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission.

The new 208 GT Hybrid boasts a sleek and modern design, characterised by bold lines, an aerodynamic profile and Peugeot’s distinct '3-claw' lion-design LED daytime running lights. 

Exterior upgrades include a black grille with body-colour inserts, full LED headlamps featuring a distinctive night-specific signature, and a glossy black rear skirt.  

Inside, the cabin is a testament to Peugeot’s commitment to luxury, innovation and allure with a leather steering wheel, customisable ambient lighting in 8 colours, and advanced connectivity features.
