Price hike for 207 GTi

Peugeot will abandon the 207 GTi’s sub-£15,000 price tag after one month when the new hot hatch climbs to £15,395 due to the company deciding to fit a “less understated” bodykit as standard.

Confirming the £400 hike, product manager Andrew Montague said: “The front spoiler and side skirt extensions, previously listed as an option, will become standard from July 1. Perhaps the styling was understated when related to Vauxhall’s Corsa VXR.”
