Peugeot NZ hopes to follow Volkswagen's lead in proving a European brand which bridges mainstream price points and Euro appeal can succeed if it has the right products - and the right prices.
What's new
An updated 308 with added features for less money.
A more-for-less strategy also applies to the 4007 and 207, which now opens at $25,990, plus there is better stock supply. Peugeot ran short this year, thanks in part to more small-car demand than anticipated, and to post-tsunami stock shortages that saw New Zealand orders sidelined when larger markets took priority.
The few changes made to the 308 have improved its looks. The shorter nose, smaller air inlets and new rear bumper rein in the aggression and improve the car's proportions to impart a more elegant air.
The 308 sells from $29,990 in 88kW/160Nm 1.6-litre Access specification, steps to the 115kW/240Nm 1.6 turbo and tops out with the $45,990 120kW/340Nm 2.0-litre turbo HDi Allure with its 17-inch wheels and extended glass roof.
