It's the only other 3 door car in the 208 range alongside the pricer GTi trim, but that doesn't mean it's not got a lot to offer. The interior is given a more high-spec finish, with Apple Carplay, Bluetooth and DAB radio as well as additional exterior styling options.

The GTi trims will cater for those who want an intense and exhilarating ride behind the wheel. Whatever your preference, you can be sure that there's a trim that will fit your needs when it comes to the 208 range.
