Peugeot releases tennis specials

Kia might be the major sponsor of the Australian Open tennis tournament, but that hasn’t stopped Peugeot Australia releasing a range of special Advantage Edition models “inspired by the summer of tennis”.

Limited to 80 units across Allure range — including the 208 light hatch, 308 small hatch, 2008 small SUV and 3008 mid-size SUV models — the Advantage Editions are designed to leverage Peugeot’s position as official platinum partner of the ATP World Tour.

This includes the Brisbane International and Sydney International ATP events, where the vehicles will be on display.

Claimed to offer more than $3000 in extra value over the mid-range Allure variants on which they’re based, all models come with a seven-year warranty and roadside assist plus unique exterior trim, leather seat trim and dark tinted windows.

In addition, the 3008 Allure Avantage Edition comes with an advanced safety pack and electric tailgate.

Further sweetening the deal, all Advantage specials also come with a set of Wilson tennis accessories, including a tennis bag, two racquets and balls.

“With its tennis-inspired design and unbeatable add-ons, we believe Australian consumers with love the Avantage Edition,” said Peugeot Citroen Australia managing director Anouk Poelmann.

“It is a truly exceptional range and we’re thrilled to announce its unveil alongside the current ATP events in Australia. We have already experienced strong interest in this highly limited edition range, and we look forward to seeing these special vehicles hit the road from January.”

Pricing for the Peugeot Avantage Edition range begins at $27,140 plus on-road costs for the 208 Allure, which is normally priced at $24,990 plus ORCs.
