Three trim levels are offered in New Zealand.
The car is available in hatch (petrol and diesel) and wagon (petrol only) versions, positioned as a “strong and different” alternative designed on the themes of efficiency, design, driving experience and quality.
Due to the new EMP2 modular platform, the model is more compact and is lighter (-140kg), the company says.
“Its driving experience is unprecedented and its CO2 emissions are among the best in class (with the BlueHDi turbo diesel version at 107g/km).
“A refined interior and innovative instruments and controls (the Peugeot i-cockpit) promise a great driving experience. Its high level of quality and intuitive 9.7” multimedia touch screen are the result of an ambitious initial design brief.
“The wagon has a wide stance – length 4.58m and height 1.47m. … Customers attach great importance to the fundamental values in a station wagon – volume, spaciousness, modularity and practicality.”
With a volume of 610 dm3 to the VDA 210 standard, the boot has simple forms that create a practical and clear space.
Its modularity is achieved with unparalleled simplicity (seats are folded with a single action from inside the boot) and effectiveness (perfectly flat floor).
Available from launch, the maker’s Euro 6 PureTech 1.2 e-THP 130hp petrol and 2.0 BlueHDi 150hp diesel engines ensure remarkable levels of performance, the company says.
