2014 PEUGEOT 308 GT 1.6L THP 6MT FWD (205 HP)

Vehicle Overview

The GTi history is long in the Peugeot family and goes back in time in the ’80s. In 2014, the French manufacturer released a softer brother for the 308 GTI: the 308 GT.

Back in the ’80s, it was a rare thing to see a fuel injection model on a compact car. But over the ’90s, there were only a few vehicles that didn’t have fuel injection. But the badge remained in glory. In 2014 all the performance hatchbacks had not only fuel injection, but they also had at least a turbocharger.

The 308 GT came with different styling and it was well equipped. It started on the front with a special design. It had the lion badge buried in the three-bar grille, the full-LED headlights, active turning signals in the bumper that scrolled the light outwards and some other chromed accents. The car featured 18″ light-alloy wheels and, in the back, the dual chromed trapezoidal tailpipes came under a black diffuser. A small roof-spoiler complimented the rear sporty look.

Inside, the bolstered leather seats created a sporty look. The red stitches were everywhere inside the cabin. The instrument cluster featured a cockpit, meaning that there was a TFT configurable display. It also had an infotainment system that knew screen-mirroring with mobile phones.

The stiffened suspension, compared with other 308 models, had a pseudo-McPherson upfront and a deformable beam in the rear. Under the hood, the 308 GT was available with either a 2.0-liter turbodiesel unit or with 1.6-liter gasoline that features a twin-scroll turbocharger.
