Peugeot Australia has announced its end-of-financial year offers, with the largest savings applied to 2023-built examples of the E-2008 GT small SUV until June 30, 2024.
Priced from $45,990 drive-away – up $4500 over the now mid-spec T60 Max Luxe for ABN holders – the Plus automatic adds potentially life-saving autonomous emergency braking (AEB), which will be mandated for all new cars sold in Australia from March 1, 2025, for detecting possible collisions with other vehicles.
In 2023, the Japanese brand promised to launch additional petrol-electric hybrid variants in Australia once top-spec E:HEV models had arrived with each new full model launch, starting with the latest HR-V in April 2022.
A total of 387 are now in Australia and available for delivery to buyers, after ordering of the i30 N hatch was paused in July 2023 after considerable stock shortages lead to customer wait times of between six and nine months.
The milestone Ram was a Billet Silver Crew Cab completed at the company’s Melbourne site, where the US-made pick-ups have been converted from left-hand to right-hand drive since 2016.
This left-hand drive import could be one for those wanting to remember those times, or for those who remember the first Sega Rally arcade machines.
Toyota was also the top-selling marque for April, continuing its long-time market dominance.
The Toyota HiLux followed with 4693 sales (4029 4X4, 664 4X2), placing it nearly 1000 units behind Ford’s ute for April.
