A choice of engines available include the 1.6-litre PureTech 225 with the EAT8 automatic transmission and the 2.0-litre BlueHDi 180 also with the automatic. The exterior features a choice of Twilight Blue or Amazonite Grey paint and, for a further layer of exclusivity, the boot floor is lined with a Zebrano wood finish. A unique gloss black grille and 19-inch 'Augusta' diamond cut two-tone alloy wheels round out the unique styling.
The interior continues the high-end look, including carbon effect trim and seat upholstery finished in Nappa leather with contrasting aikinite double stitching. To add to the range-topping specification is a host of driver assistance tech that includes Peugeot's Night Vision function, which the brand claims is a first for the segment. It can pick out and highlight living objects up to 200 metres beyond the range of the main headlights. Other tech features include a DAB digital radio, 10-inch HD capacitive touchscreen system with Connected #d Navigation and voice recognition.
