The launch of the new GT Line follows the debut of the 308 GT at the Paris Motor Show and provides a midway point between the Allure and GT models, replacing the previous high-spec Feline trim. Additional exterior compared to the Allure includes 18-inch alloy wheels, twin exhausts with black laquered rear diffusor and tinted rear side windows.

Inside, the 308 GT Line features half-Alcantara sports seats with red stitching, plus a driver and front passenger lumbar adjustment with massage function. A “GT style” leather steering wheel with red stitching and “GT style” carpet mats are also included, along with aluminium style pedals and door sill protectors.

The new trim is available with a wide range of PureTech, HDi and BlueHDi powertrains and prices start at £21,345 on the road.

Meanwhile, the 308 Sportium is a new special-edition model aimed at retail customers and only available with the 1.2-litre PureTech three-cylinder petrol engine. The trim is positioned between the Access and Active, and builds on the former’s specification with 16-inch alloy wheels, driver’s lumbar support, rear parking sensors, leather steering wheel, leather gearstick gaiter, plus automatic headlamps and wipers.

Sportium is only available on the 308 hatchback, and with a choice of five-speed or six-speed manual and six-speed automatic transmissions. Prices begin at £17,345 on the road.
