There are no significant changes to the PT Cruiser for 2007. The PT underwent many styling revisions in 2006, marked by a noticeably different front end thanks to a new grille and headlight design.
The GT is the most expensive of the four available PT trims, differentiated from the base by nearly $15,000. The GT is primarily set apart from the other models by performance. While a peek under the hood will reveal the same 2.4 liter inline four, the GT has added a higher output turbocharger. Horsepower jumps from 150 to 230 with this addition, and torque rises from 165 to 245 pound-feet. This is the only engine offered with the GT, and it can be mated to either a four speed automatic or five speed manual transmission.
Considering the power upgrade, the cost in fuel efficiency here is minimal. The modest 2.4 liter base engine has an EPA estimate of 22/29 mpg, and the addition of the turbocharger brings it down to 21/27 mpg. GT drivers can expect 19/29 mpg with the automatic.
The GT adds features like 17-inch wheels, leather seats, and a sport-tuned suspension. Options include heated seats and an in-dash CD changer.
