AutoExec Summary
The new-generation Peugeot 308 GT hatchback makes a striking first impression. Priced at $43,990 plus on-road costs, it features a 1.2-litre turbocharged three-cylinder engine with 96kW and 230Nm, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. While stylish and agile, it has some quirks, including a unique driving position and limited rear space. The 308 GT is well-equipped with safety features but received a four-star ANCAP rating. Its premium feel is somewhat offset by a high price and the need for 95-octane fuel. Overall, it’s a refined urban runabout that offers a different option in the market.
Brands mentioned: Peugeot, Volkswagen, Mazda, Skoda, Audi, Honda, Mercedes-Benz.
