Available exclusively in three-door guise, the French hatch sports a 1.6-liter turbocharged inline-four engine that produces a maximum output of 197hp (200PS) and peak torque of 275Nm (203 lb-ft), and is connected to a six-speed manual transmission turning the froth wheels.
Peugeot quotes a 0-100 km/h (62mph) sprint in 6.8 seconds, with the 1,000m (0.62 miles) mark arriving after 27 seconds.
