A Color Combining Satin and Matte Characteristics


Peugeot has previously unveiled bold exteriors, including striking two-tone colors, for the208model. Now, they have announced a limited edition featuring a matte finish that evokes the texture of ice, applied to the sporty "208 GT Line."


The "208 GT Line Ice Edition" is available in two new colors: "Ice White" and "Ice Silver." Both feature a finish that combines satin and matte properties. Peugeot states that the surface has a light granular texture, making it more durable than typical matte finishes and easier to maintain.
