The GT model gets a lion-claw-motif design as well as full LED headlights.

More than just colour options, the 208 palette offers a fresh choice of stylish finishes, including solid, metallic, and pearlescent.

The interior is bolstered with the brand’s 3rd generation Peugeot i-Cockpit plus the now-familiar compact steering wheel and a 3D-Digital heads-up instrument panel. The other feature includes a 10-inch touch screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility.
