On the inside, unique Red Carbon black style sports front seats comes with red stitching, as do the dashboard, sports steering wheel and short shift gear lever.

For in-car entertainment, Red Carbon models are equipped with the Peugeot Connect Navigation, audio, CD and sat-nav system and Connect USB box with Bluetooth.
