Details of the new and updated Peugeot models launching in Australia in 2015.
Peugeot 308 GT â€" March
The new warm-hatch version of the Peugeot 308 hatchback, the new Peugeot 308 GT, is set to hit showroom floors late in the first quarter of the year.
The GT model is powered by a turbocharged 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine pushing out 151kW and 285Nm (or slightly less than a VW Golf GTI and about the same as a Kia Pro_cee’d GT) in petrol guise. The diesel 2.0-litre has 133kW and 400Nm.
Expect it to be sold as a five-door hatch and small station wagon, and it should be easily distinguishable from the rest of the 308 range by its sporty body additions and larger 18-inch alloys.
Who knows? We may even see a 308 GTi by the end of 2015.

Peugeot 308 1.6-litre turbo â€" March
The Peugeot 308 line-up will receive a new 1.6-litre turbocharged engine in the Allure specification and the soon-to-be-added Allure Premium specification.
The new 110kW/240Nm four-pot engine will replace the three-cylinder, 96kW/230Nm unit that is currently the mainstay of the petrol model range. That smaller engine will remain in the Access and Active models.
The new four-cylinder will be available in both hatch and wagon body styles, meaning buyers who want a more practical small car will have the choice of the new petrol engine or the existing 2.0-litre diesel.
