  • GT Sport replaces GT as sole petrol variant
  • New trim comes standard with Peugeot's Black Pack
  • List price starts at $61,940

Peugeot has announced an update for its MY22 5008 range, dropping the GT in favour of the more powerful GT Sport as its only petrol-powered option.

Although it is powered by the same 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine as the GT, the GT Sport boasts a 7kW and 10Nm boost over the outgoing variant, developing 133kW and 250Nm with power sent to the front wheels through an eight-speed torque converter automatic transmission.

Despite sacrificing 150Nm compared to the 2.0-litre GT Diesel, the GT Sport is $1050 less than its diesel-powered sibling, being launched at a list price of $61,940 before on-road costs while the GT Diesel has gone up by $3000, now starting at $62,990.
