The new Peugeot 308 has been made official and the car comes with a range of updates over the previous model. This latest iteration of the popular hatchback is designed to offer enhanced performance, improved technology, and a more refined driving experience.
Engine Options and Performance
The car comes with a range of engine options, catering to a variety of driving preferences and needs. These include both petrol and diesel engines, as well as a plug-in hybrid variant for those looking to reduce their carbon footprint. The petrol engines range from a 1.2-liter three-cylinder turbocharged unit to a more powerful 1.6-liter four-cylinder option. Diesel enthusiasts can opt for the 1.5-liter BlueHDi engine, known for its fuel efficiency and low emissions.
For those interested in hybrid technology, the plug-in hybrid version combines a 1.6-liter petrol engine with an electric motor, delivering a combined output of up to 225 horsepower. This hybrid model also offers an electric-only range of around 37 miles, making it ideal for short commutes and city driving.
Advanced Technology and Interior Features
The new Peugeot 308 features the latest Peugeot i-Cockpit and iConnect Advanced infotainment system. The i-Cockpit includes a compact steering wheel, a 10-inch digital instrument panel, and a high-definition touchscreen. This setup is designed to provide a more intuitive and immersive driving experience, allowing drivers to access essential information and controls with ease.
In order to meet its aerodynamic efficiency objective, the new PEUGEOT 308 has not sought to enhance its posture and style on the outside, but on the inside. Thanks to a vast work of architectural optimisation and body pressing performance. The livery of the new PEUGEOT 308 is aligned as closely as possible to its structure. This is particularly visible in the very pronounced wing outlines, without any increase in track.
The iConnect Advanced system offers seamless smartphone integration through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as a range of connected services such as real-time traffic updates, weather forecasts, and remote vehicle management. Additionally, the system supports over-the-air updates, ensuring that the software remains up-to-date with the latest features and improvements.
Safety and driver assistance technologies have also been upgraded in the new Peugeot 308. The car is equipped with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) such as adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and automatic emergency braking. These features work together to enhance safety and provide a more relaxed driving experience.
On the sides, the simple and smooth flank showcases its powerful character with the two sharp squares overhanging the front and rear wheels. The design of the side medallion draws on the history of the brand’s identity (PEUGEOT 205, 208, 308…) but bears the vibrancy of the body work carried out on the silhouette.
The interior of the new Peugeot 308 is designed with comfort and convenience in mind. High-quality materials, ergonomic seating, and ample storage space make for a pleasant and practical cabin environment. The rear seats offer generous legroom, and the boot capacity is competitive for the segment, making it suitable for both daily use and longer journeys.
In terms of exterior design, the new Peugeot 308 features a sleek and modern look, with a bold front grille, sharp LED headlights, and a sculpted body. The car’s aerodynamic profile not only enhances its visual appeal but also contributes to improved fuel efficiency and reduced wind noise.
