The new Peugeot 208 GT 2025 is the most fun turbo hatchback on the market, with its agile engine and handling that promises to excite any enthusiast. But the question remains: does the high price justify the purchase of this remarkable little car?
O The new Peugeot 208 GT 2025 has arrived to attract the attention of those looking for performance and technology in a compact hatchback, featuring a 1.0 turbo engine that surprises with its agility and economy. With 130 horsepower on ethanol and an impressive torque of 20,4 kgfm, this car offers a dynamic driving experience, despite its compact size. The modern look and state-of-the-art equipment complete the package, but the hefty price tag of R$115.000 raises the question: is it worth paying all that?
Impressive performance in the new Peugeot 208 GT 2025
The new Peugeot 208 GT 2025 does not disappoint when it comes to fun behind the wheel. According to automotive expert Lucas Torres, who tested the model for the CPG, “This hatchback is the closest you’ll get to a go-kart experience in a compact car”. With acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 9 seconds and the ability to simulate up to seven gears in the CVT gearbox, the car delivers above-average performance for the segment.
Torres also highlights that the 1.0 three-cylinder turbo engine with direct injection is largely responsible for this performance. “The torque at low revs is impressive. It’s the kind of car you want to drive all the time.”, says the expert.

Modern equipment, but with restrictions
The new Peugeot 208 GT 2025 comes packed with equipment, including a lane keeping system, a multimedia center with Android Auto and wireless Apple CarPlay, full LED headlights and even a panoramic roof. However, Torres highlights some negative points: “Despite being the top-of-the-line version, the car has some savings, such as the lack of disc brakes on all four wheels and the small trunk of just 265 liters.”
Another criticized aspect is the internal space. “If you need space, this is not the car for you”, warns Torres. The cramped back seat and compact design of the car compromise the comfort of those traveling with more than two occupants.
Is the price justifiable?
The big question surrounding the new Peugeot 208 GT 2025 is its price. At R$115.000, it is around R$15.000 more expensive than the entry-level turbo version. “The price difference is significant, and honestly, I would go for the cheaper version”, suggests Torres. Although the GT version comes with more equipment, such as a panoramic roof and driving assistants, the expert believes that the additional cost is not worth it.
The efficient turbo engine and driving pleasure make this hatchback a tempting option for those who don't need a lot of space. However, for those who need a more versatile car or are looking for something with more interior space, other options on the market may be more attractive.
Fun or value for money?
In summary, the new Peugeot 208 GT 2025 It is the ideal hatchback for those who want fun behind the wheel in a compact and stylish car. The turbo engine's performance is undeniably satisfactory, and the technology package is impressive. But the high price, limited interior space and some savings in terms of finish may make you think twice before investing.
