Refreshed coupé returns with familiar two-level trim choice
The facelifted Peugeot RCZ, which was unveiled at September’s Paris motor show, will go on sale in the UK in January, starting at £21,595.
The coupé has been given a mid-life makeover, including revised frontend styling, which brings it in line with the current Peugeot design theme – first shown on the 208 supermini– and a new alloy wheel design.
The cabin has also been updated with a greater choice of trim colours and personalisation options.
The RCZ will continue to be offered in two trim levels: Sport and GT. Sport models are equipped with 18-inch alloys, dual-zone air-conditioning, rear parking sensors, USB ports and Bluetooth connectivity. Further additions included on facelifted cars include automatic lighting and the option of leather and Alcantara upholstery.
GT trim bestows 19-inch alloys and a sports steering wheel and gear-lever. GT cars also get leather upholstery as standard, with customers now able to choose the optional Cohiba Brown colour. GT models cost an additional £2,400 over the entry price.
A performance version – the 260bhp RCZ R – also unveiled at the Paris motor show, will reach UK showrooms towards the end of 2013.
