Expert ReviewAll-new Peugeot 308 goes after the VW Golf with a compelling combination of French style, clever tech and plug-in hybrid powerThe Auto Trader expert verdict:Available new from £25,270Mid-size hatchbacks are still a hugely important sector of the market, dominated by big-selling models like the Volkswagen Golf and Ford Focus. This new Peugeot 308 goes after them with a confident combination of sharp styling, big-car luxuries and a range of engines including frugal petrols and diesels or full plug-in hybrids capable of covering most commutes or regular journeys on battery power alone. Bigger and more refined than its predecessor, this new 308 is a convincing alternative and backed up by Peugeot’s strong reputation for reliability.

Whether you’ll be better off buying a regular petrol or diesel or instead of a plug-in hybrid will very much depend on your circumstances and the kind of driving you do. The petrol is cheaper to buy while, at this level, diesel looks a bit of a niche choice for those doing big motorway miles. Traditionally that would mean company drivers but, these days, the Benefit In Kind advantages of the plug-in hybrids will likely make these more appealing. As a private owner you may claw back the higher cost of the hybrid versions if you’re able to plug in at home, charge every night and do your regular journeys on electric power alone. But, if not, the more affordable petrol may be the pick. Expert rating: 4/5Reliability of a Peugeot 308“While VW languishes further down reliability tables than you might expect Peugeot consistently ranks at or near the top”Accepted wisdom has it that the Volkswagen Golf is the premium player in this sector and buyers assume German-built cars have greater reliability. In fact the opposite is true and while VW languishes further down reliability tables than you might expect Peugeot consistently ranks at or near the top. Something worth remembering when friends and colleagues trot out tired stereotypes about supposedly flaky French build quality… Safety for a Peugeot 308“Blind spot assistance and rear cross traffic alerts only feature on higher trim levels, while the top spec gets semi-autonomous assisted driving”As a brand-new model the 308 comes packed with the latest safety tech, some of which we welcome but some of which is rather less convincing. Good news first – all 308s come with cruise control you can switch to a speed limiter for motorway roadworks sections, self-correcting steering to keep you in lane, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, rear parking sensors and a host of other features modern drivers expect. Blind spot assistance and rear cross traffic alerts only feature on higher trim levels, while the top spec gets semi-autonomous assisted driving. This is nice in principle and feeling the car maintain its distance to the car in front and steer itself in your hands should in theory take the stress out of long drives. But after it attempted to steer us into a truck in an adjacent lane we quickly turned it off and remain sceptical these systems really are the labour saving innovation they claim to be. Expert rating: 4/5How comfortable is the Peugeot 308“We enjoyed the many and various massage settings – especially the ‘Cats Paw’ one inspired by the lion motif in Peugeot’s brand identity”While the roofline is lower the new 308 is longer overall and in its wheelbase (the important measurement, given it dictates the size of the cabin) than the previous version, which is obvious from the length of the rear doors and room in the back. Those sitting in the middle of the rear bench usually get a raw deal in cars of this size but a grown-up can sit there in reasonable comfort without having to ‘man spread’ too badly. Up front Peugeot’s distinctive low-set steering wheel configuration puts it below the instruments and takes a little getting used to, especially if you’re taller or like to sit lower in the car where it can be a struggle to find a setting that doesn’t block your view of the digital dials. But the seats are comfortable (especially so in the top models, thanks to certification from a respected German ‘healthy backs’ body) and we enjoyed the many and various massage settings – especially the ‘Cats Paw’ one inspired by the lion motif in Peugeot’s brand identity. On the road the 308 adopts a classically French approach, with softer suspension than that typically found on Golfs, Focuses and others with more sporty pretensions. That’s absolutely fine by us, given the realities of most real-world driving situations and, along with the roominess and refinement, makes this a comfortable car to spend time in. Expert rating: 3/5Features of the Peugeot 308“In the modern way everything – heating and ventilation included – is controlled through the central screen and this can take some getting used to”It wasn’t long ago that digital instruments and touch-screens were reserved for higher trim levels only but Peugeot has seized this opportunity to include both as standard on all 308s. Opt for the GT or GT Premium and you get the nifty 3D instrument graphics but, on all models, the displays are both clear to use and stylishly executed. In the modern way everything – heating and ventilation included – is controlled through the central screen and this can take some getting used to when a sideways swipe from the nav to bring up air-con or entertainment controls instead scrolls across the map. As such we appreciated the new ‘i-toggles’ below the screen, which you can configure yourself as ‘hot keys’ to take you straight to your favourite functions. While you can use your phone apps through CarPlay or Android Auto on all models we’d go one up from entry level Active Premium to Allure for these shortcut buttons, the built-in nav and nicer upholstery. Expert rating: 3/5Power for a Peugeot 308“More impressive are the hybrids, which seamlessly switch between petrol, electric and combined power in near-silence”Where some rivals offer confusing combinations and permutations of engines and gearboxes across various trim levels Peugeot thankfully keeps it simple with a standard automatic transmission on all models and straightforward choice of a single petrol or diesel, plus two levels of hybrid powertrain. The 130 horsepower petrol punches above its weight and feels sprightly, but sounds a little gruff in the process. It’s at least better than the diesel in this respect, which never lets you forget which pump it fuels from. The clatter fades at the motorway speeds it’s most suited to, at least. More impressive are the hybrids, which seamlessly switch between petrol, electric and combined power in near-silence, while maintaining enough get-up-and-go to operate on pure battery power for nearly 40 miles on a full charge. The 225 horsepower option available on GT models is a little down on power compared with the Golf GTE, Audi A3 eTFSI and Cupra Leon but still brisk enough while the 180 horsepower alternative is plenty for most drivers and usefully cheaper to buy.

PRESS RELEASES TECHNOLOGY / ENVIRONMENT TECHNOLOGY / ENVIRONMENT 12 Jul 2021 Electrification is at the heart of the PEUGEOT brand's strategy and the new PEUGEOT 308 will offer two rechargeable hybrid engines on its saloon and SW estate versions right from launch. By 2021, these new products will increase the PEUGEOT range’s electrification rate to 70%, including both passenger cars and commercial vehicles. By 2023, 85% of the brand's models will be electrified and 100% by 2025 in Europe. DOWNLOAD From its launch, the new PEUGEOT 308 will offer two plug-in hybrid engines, adding to an already comprehensive range of electrified vehicles. The new PEUGEOT 308 HYBRID 225 e-EAT8 delivers up to 225 bhp by combining a 180 bhp PureTech engine (132 kW) and an 81 kW electric engine coupled with the 8-speed e-EAT8 gearbox (from 26 g of C0₂ per km and up to 59 km of 100% electric range, according to the WLTP protocol, currently undergoing approval). The HYBRID 180 e-EAT8 version, meanwhile, is powered by a 150hp (110kW) PureTech engine coupled with the same 81kW electric engine and e-EAT8 gearbox (from 25g of C0₂ per km and up to 60km of 100% electric range according to the WLTP protocol, currently undergoing approval). The electrification of the PEUGEOT range began three years ago with the launch of the e-208 and, since then, 100% electric models (e-208, e-2008, Traveller and Expert) and plug-in hybrids (3008 and 508) stamped with the Lion have made their mark on the market. In the first five months of 2021, PEUGEOT is the second best-selling generalist brand in Europe in terms of overall sales and is already the third best-selling generalist brand for electrified vehicles. The PEUGEOT e-208 and e-2008 are in second place in their respective BEV segments, gaining segment share month after month. "Electrification is at the heart of our "Power of Choice" strategy, which gives our customers the possibility of choosing the engine, whether conventional or electrified that best suits their needs. The excellent sales results of our electrified models show that in Europe, this strategy is bearing fruit. Internationally, even in markets where electrification is emerging, we will use our portfolio of electrified models to stand out as an inventive, premium generalist brand. Wherever we are, we want to be real drivers of progress," says Linda Jackson, CEO of PEUGEOT. The 'Power of Choice' strategy is made possible by the group's multi-energy platforms, which allow us to set up the technology that best suits customers' needs in a given model: electric, plug-in hybrid or combustion. For PEUGEOT, the electric offer includes both passenger cars and commercial vehicles. The brand offers a 100% electric version of each of the models in its commercial vehicle range, which allows professionals to access the green areas of large cities without any problem, while enjoying a loading volume precisely identical to that of the combustion versions.

The Peugeot 308 has been substantially overhauled for its third generation, and prices for the new model start at £24,000. The revamped family hatchback ushers in Peugeot 's latest design cues and new logo, alongside a new interior and new powertrains. The French firm has confirmed five trim levels: Active Premium, Allure, Allure Premium, GT and GT Premium. Customers have the opportunity to choose from the full range of petrol, diesel and Peugeot 308 plug-in hybrid power from Allure trim upwards. The base Active Premium trim will start from £24,000, featuring 16in alloy wheels, black rear trim, LED front and rear lights and automatic windscreen wipers. A multifunction steering wheel is standard on all specification levels, as is Peugeot’s i-Cockpit, which brings a digital instrument display, rear parking sensors and 'comfort seats'. The next-step Allure trim features 17in wheels, sat-nav and several parking assistance systems from £25,850. Allure Premium offers driver assistance features including adaptive cruise control; stop-start engine technology; and wireless smartphone connectivity from £26,750. Plug-in hybrid power can be selected on Allure specification or higher and starts at £33,900. GT trim will set customers back at least £28,650, with 18in wheels, full matrix LED headlights, cabin air-purification technology and a heated steering wheel, along with Peugeot’s Driver Sport Pack, which allows for variable accelerator response. The top-of-the-range GT Premium car starts from £30,250 and receives an upgraded sound system, sportier seats and the Drive Assist Pack Plus, which adds semi-autonomous lane-keeping assistance technology and 360deg semi-autonomous parking assistance.

^{Mar 17, 2021 at 11:00pm ET After eight years on the market and several facelifts, the second-generation Peugeot 308 is being retired. Its successor has been well worth the wait, and while beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, we're finding the revamped to be more visually appealing than its aging predecessor. Completely redesigned, the VW Golf rival looks all-new while paying tribute to the past with a retro badge and the "308" logo below the hood. It finally gets the lion's fangs made from LED daytime running lights extending down the front bumper, thus bringing the 308 in line with recent Peugeot products. The front grille takes after recently updated SUVs such as the 3008 and 5008 and is flanked by slim matrix LED headlights for the GT and GT Pack versions. The lesser trim levels have slightly larger headlights and light-emitting diodes for only some of the lighting functions. Gallery: 2021 Peugeot 308 The lion is sharpening up its three claws at the back for the full-LED taillights, joined by a glossy black piece of trim stretching across the tailgate but without incorporating a light strip as seen in many new cars. Olivine Green and Vertigo Blue are the hues featured here, but customers will also be able to get the new 308 in Elixir Red, White Banquise Grey, Pearl White, Black Perla Nera, and Artense (silver). A variety of 16- to 18-inch wheels are available. As with virtually all cars making the transition to the next generation, the 308 is larger than the model it replaces. It now stretches at meters ( inches), making it 11 cm ( in) longer than before, with the wheelbase extended by 55 mm ( in) to 2,675 mm ( in) for additional rear legroom. Contributing to the sleeker shape is a lowered roofline as the height has dropped by 20 mm ( in) to meters ( in), allowing Peugeot to reduce the drag coefficient to Gallery: 2021 Peugeot 308 real images Open the doors and you might be tempted to say you're about to enter the cabin of a concept car. Peugeot is known for its avant-garde dashboards and the overhauled 308 is no exception. The more expensive versions get a 10-inch digital driver's display accompanied by a central touchscreen of the same size that comes as standard. The HVAC controls are easily accessible using a touch-sensitive key, joined by other shortcut buttons positioned below the main screen. You still get some physical toggle switches right below, but as with other brands, Peugeot has integrated most of the functions in the infotainment to clean up the center console. From a wireless charging pad and eight-color LED ambient lighting to a 10-speaker Focal sound system and electrically adjustable seats, the interior has all the goodies you'd expect from a compact hatchback with premium aspirations. There's even a Clean Cabin function that filters polluting gases and particles while showing the air quality on the main display. Even though the 308 has grown in size, the cargo capacity is slightly down, from 420 liters ( cubic feet) to 412 liters ( cu ft). Fold the rear seats and the volume grows to 1,323 liters ( cu ft). Additional cargo compartments have been installed throughout the cabin, providing an extra 34 liters ( cu ft) of storage space. Riding on an evolution of the EMP2 platform, the next-generation Peugeot 308 will be powered by a turbocharged three-cylinder engine offered in two states of tune. The gasoline unit develops 110 and 130 horsepower sent to the wheels via a six-speed manual or an optional eight-speed automatic transmission for the more powerful version. On the diesel side, a four-cylinder is rated at 130 hp and comes with either two or three pedals. At launch, there will also be two plug-in hybrid, front-wheel-drive models with an eight-speed automatic, a battery pack, and an electric motor producing 81 kW in both cases. The difference between the two will be the gasoline engine, developing 150 hp (110 kW) in the lesser configuration and 180 hp (132 kW) for the more powerful version. Combined output stands at 180 hp and 225 hp, respectively, with both offering a WLTP-certified electric range of around 37 miles (60 kilometers). Produced in France at Stellantis' Mulhouse factory, the new Peugeot 308 will go on sale in Europe in the second half of the year. Recent spy shots have revealed a more practical wagon is also planned to take on the Golf Variant. The Wagon Is Not Far Behind:} New 2021 Peugeot 308: engines and hybrid drivetrains. Peugeot will offer the 308 with two pure petrol options, one diesel, and two petrol plug-in hybrids. The petrol engine line-up kicks off with the PureTech 110 – a 1.2-litre three-cylinder turbocharged engine developing 80kW, sending drive to the front wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox.

After nearly all its rivals in the compact hatchback segment have been electrified, the Peugeot 308 is finally jumping on the hybrid bandwagon. The third-generation model is looking to make up for the lost time by being offered in not one, but two PHEV configurations, right from the get-go. Both come strictly with a front-wheel-drive layout, an eight-speed automatic transmission, an electric motor rated at 81 kilowatts, and a lithium-ion battery pack with a capacity of main difference between the two plug-in hybrids has to do with the gasoline engine, which develops either 150 hp (110 kW) or 180 hp (132 kW). The former enables the new Peugeot 308 Hybrid to offer a combined output of 180 hp while the latter ups the power ante to 225 hp. In both instances, the stylish hatchback offers a pure electric range of 60 kilometers (37 miles) according to the WLTP has developed its VW Golf competitor to support a charging power of 102 kW and to offer two types of on-board chargers, a standard kW single-phase charger and an optional kW single-phase charger. Using a wallbox and the optional charger, it’s going to take 1 hour and 55 minutes to fully recharge the battery, while a traditional socket with the standard charger will require 7 hours and 5 minutes for a complete more to the new 308 than its electrified powertrains as Peugeot will sell the swanky hatch with gasoline and diesel engines as well. We’re hearing through the grapevine a range-topping variant will follow, complete with nearly 300 horsepower and all-wheel drive thanks to an upgraded plug-in hybrid system already used in other Stellantis products sold in completely revamped design allows the Peugeot 308 to stand out in a crowded segment while offering high-end features varying from matrix LED headlights to a pair of 10-inch screens inside. There’s also a separate touch panel below with shortcuts to various often-used functions, including the climate settings. LED ambient lighting, 10-way electrically adjustable front seats, a wireless charging pad, interior air filter, a Focal sound system with 10 speakers, and a subwoofer round off the list of 308 ushers in Peugeot’s retro-flavored new lion badge and comes along with the model designation located just below the hood as a nod to the past. It’s 11 centimeters ( inches) longer than its predecessor and the wheelbase has been stretched by centimeters ( inches) for additional rear legroom, while the roof has been lowered by 20 millimeters ( inches) to enable a sleeker profile. The reshaped body has also paid dividends in terms of aerodynamic efficiency, now at 2021 Peugeot 308 certainly has a lot going for it: attractive design, efficient plug-in hybrid powertrains, cutting-edge interior, and all the tech you could ever want from a C-segment hatchback. The only downside is the French brand has abandoned plans for a North American return for the time being, meaning the 308 won’t hit stateside anytime soon, if at Europe will get the car from the second half of 2021 shortly after it will enter production in France at Peugeot’s Mulhouse plant. The hatchback will be the first to hit the market, with a wagon likely arriving by the end of the year or early Peugeot

In an attempt to keep it competitive against the likes of the VW Golf, Ford Focus and other compact models, Peugeot has updated the 308 for the 2021 model year. For the most part, the novelties are modest, with the biggest change being the introduction of the i-Cockpit. The digital instrument cluster comes with a 10-inch HD panel that incorporates the graphic design from the 208 and 2008 and gets a glossy finish. The infotainment system supports smartphone integration and features 3D navigation system, voice commands and so on. Other tech on deck include adaptive cruise control with stop & go function, 180-degree reversing camera, latest-gen automatic emergency braking and collision warning, active lane departure warning, driver attention alert, speed sign recognition, active blind spot monitoring and automatic smart beam assist. Review: Can Peugeot Finally Crack The Compact Hatch Segment With Revamped 308? On the outside, the revised 308 lineup is virtually unchanged, save for the introduction of the new Vertigo Blue paint finish and two new wheel designs, 16 and 18 inches in diameter. The Black Pack option is reserved for the top-of-the-line trim levels and lets customers change the majority of the chrome trim with glossy black elements, including the front grille, side windows, fog lamp and turn signal surrounds. The engine lineup comprises two petrol and two diesels: the PureTech with 108 HP (110 PS / 81 kW) and 128 HP (130 PS / 96 kW), and the BlueHDi, making 99 HP (100 PS / 74 kW) and 128 HP (130 PS / 96 kW), respectively. Lesser models are offered with a six-speed manual gearbox, whereas the 8-speed automatic is available on the upper grades, alongside the same stick shift. Topping the range is the 308 GTi hot hatch powered by a turbo-four rated at 259 HP (263 PS / 193 kW) and 251 lb-ft (340 Nm) of torque. PHOTO GALLERY more photos...

It’s the new 308. Peugeot has shifted over million 308s in its 15 years on sale, meaning this new one matters for the company’s bottom line. Fortunately, its design department has (yet again) smashed it out of the park with the third generation, the best looking yet. Peugeot’s aim is to be an ‘inventive high-end generalist’ brand, marketing gobbledigook that disguises a range of cars that are as well-engineered and robust as any of its apparently more esteemed rivals. So talk of the 308 mixing it with the likes of the Audi A3, BMW 1 Series and Mercedes A-Class isn’t too far-fetched, alongside C-segment stalwarts such as the Ford Focus and VW Golf. No - Page continues below It’s available as a five-door hatch or SW semi-estate form. Click these blue words if it’s the latter you’re after. IT LOOKS... STRIKING. The 308 represents further evidence of Peugeot’s concerted push both upmarket and its commitment to delivering something palpably different. Few mainstream car companies have executed a more convincing design about-turn than these guys, and the new 308’s dramatic aesthetic keeps the faith with the quasi-concept car look of the 2008 and 3008 crossovers. The front end positions the bold new Peugeot badge in the middle of an equally punchy grille, the long nose doing most of the visual heavy lifting. The wheelbase has grown by 55mm for more room in the rear compartment, and it sits 20mm lower than the previous model. It’s also impressively slippery with a drag coefficient of and Peugeot has pumped up the colour palette. HOW DOES THE CABIN COMPARE? Plenty of noise has been made about Peugeot’s i-Cockpit interior, complete with compact steering wheel and 10-inch digital instrument cluster. The steering wheel still looks like a TIE fighter from the Star Wars universe and sits unusually (and, for some, uncomfortably) low, but don’t let it be a deal breaker until you’ve spent a good amount of time in the driver’s seat – it quickly feels - Page continues belowElsewhere, the central touchscreen - 10 inches as standard - has been slightly reworked with a row of ‘i-Toggle’ shortcut buttons underneath (from Allure trim upwards), which can be customised to the driver’s liking. Peugeot calls it i-Connect Advanced and it looks really smart, contributing to a cabin that is as good as anything else out there. Head over to the interior tab for full details. WHAT'S BEHIND THE BADGE? The range is admirably streamlined for the UK and starts with the PureTech 130 or the Blue HDi 130 diesel, but the big step forward here is the arrival of two plug-in hybrid powertrains, in 180 (177bhp) or 225 (221bhp) forms. Both of these are powered by a petrol engine augmented by a 81kW (109bhp) electric motor and a lithium-ion battery, and use the e-EAT eight-speed automatic transmission. It’s far from a Peugeot hot hatch of times gone by with a clear focus on refinement and efficiency, but that’s not to say fun can’t be had – the steering is nicely weighted and it has decent body control. Head over to the driving tab for more. Range prices begin at £24k for the PureTech 130 in Active Premium trim, with the hybrids starting from £33k. Full details over on the buying the verdict?“Peugeot has rolled the dice on design, inside and out... but on top of that there’s quality of execution”The 308 lands in a class that is absolutely rammed with talent, endless possibilities and where deals can be done even in chip-limited times. But Peugeot has rolled the dice on design, inside and out, and while this might deter the more conservative elements of the customer base, the rest of us should applaud this refreshingly emboldened approach. On top of that there’s quality of execution, lots of tech, and more than competent dynamics – the hybrid 180, in particular, ticks most of the boxes. Not exactly a 205 GTI successor but more fun than you might imagine.

It has the signature LED fangs dropping down from thin headlights, with a huge grille that looks a bit like a water splash sitting between them. You might have even noticed the new Peugeot badge, which makes its debut on the new 308. There’s nothing too outlandish down the side of the car, except perhaps for the slapping of another new Peugeot badge Ferrari-style on the front arches. At the back, claw-like LED brake lights have been introduced and connected by a darkened reflector. Those claw-like taillights are quickly becoming a Peugeot trademark The only bit of chrome on the car comes at the bottom of the rear bumper in the form of some fake exhaust surrounds. Make of that what you will… 2021 Peugeot 308 interior You’ll get the tiny wheel and digital display as standard Hop inside the Peugeot 308 and you’ll spot a small, squared-off steering wheel with Peugeot’s ‘i-Cockpit’ digital drivers display in front of you as standard.

A new 10-inch infotainment system is fitted in the centre of the dashboard and comes with a wireless phone charging tray just below. There’s an ‘OK Peugeot’ voice assistant to control some of the functions too, though it doesn’t appear to be as sophisticated as Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. Depending on which trim you go for, you can have Nappa leather, mottled fabric or Alcantara upholstery for your Peugeot 308 as well as 10-way adjustable seats with a massaging function as well. 2021 Peugeot 308 engines The headline act for the Peugeot 308’s engine lineup is the introduction of plug-in hybrid engines for the first time. You have a choice of two — a 225hp and 180hp model — with both using a petrol engine linked up to a 110hp motor. The 225hp car is said to be capable of 36 miles on electricity alone, with the 180hp version eeking that out to 37. You’ll get six months free charging with BP Pulse if you go for a plug-in hybrid Go for a plug-in hybrid and you’ll get a free six-month subscription to the BP Pulse charging network as well. If you’re not quite ready for a hybrid though, you can pick a petrol or a diesel for your Peugeot 308. All engines are linked up to an eight-speed automatic gearbox as standard. 2021 Peugeot 308 safety equipment Adaptive cruise control will be available and the steering wheel will be able to make sure you’re paying attention There’s a pretty wide range of safety-assistance tech on the Peugeot 308. It’s not yet confirmed what’ll be standard and what will cost you extra, but it will have blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking and traffic sign recognition, among others. You’ll be able to pick between a 180-degree reversing camera or an upgraded 360-degree option that can give you a view from all four sides of the car. Can’t wait for the new Peugeot 308?

The new-generation Peugeot 308 GT hatch makes a good first impression, but do its charms run more than skin-deep? 16 Sep 2021. 1976 Peugeot 504 GL: owner review and in my 2001 model the

PSA’s strategy so far has been for EMP2 models to be offered with plug-in hybrid technology and for smaller CMP models to come with dedicated electric versions, both offered alongside existing petrol and diesel variants. The 308 is set to get a plug-in hybrid drivetrain, mixing a petrol engine with an electric motor to drive the front wheels in a mainstream variant. However, it’s a proposed second plug-in hybrid model that will interest enthusiasts. This model, developed by the brand’s new PSE performance arm that has developed the Peugeot 508 PSE, would gain an additional electric motor on the rear axle – a set-up already used on the 3008 PHEV – to give the 308 four-wheel drive and create a new 300bhp-plus hot hatch version that would also receive a host of sporty chassis and styling upgrades to challenge the likes of the Volkswagen Golf R. The PSE badge is set to appear first on a range-topping performance version of the 508. Should the 508 PSE be a success, Imparato told Autocar the PSE formula could be applied “on the 3008 and other cars”, a comment that alludes to the desire to extend it to the 308. Success won't be judged on sales, either, but instead on the reputation and acclaim the PSE models receive. To that end, the PSE project is as much about “transforming electric cars” and the perception of them, because Imparato sees “a big opportunity for a line-up of sporty cars” in this mould. The GTi badge won't be used on the 308 or any other Peugeots apart from the 208. Even then, it might be limited to the UK only and be based on the electric version as part of the company’s plans to switch PSE's involvement in its models to electrified powertrains only. The next 308 range will again include five-door hatchback and estate versions, with still no return for the likes of the 308 CC coupé-convertible seen in previous generations, due to the lack of profitability with such cars. “I love these cars but today there are three other topics first,” said Imparato, naming 5G connectivity and autonomous vehicle development alongside electrified models. However, a crossover version of the 308 is a strong possibility for Peugeot. It has noted the success of the Mercedes-Benz GLA, effectively a raised version of the Mercedes-A-Class hatchback. In addition, fellow PSA brand DS is planning both hatchback and crossover versions of its new DS 4 A-Class/GLA rival, which is due later this year with a shared body-in-white. There’s enough of a gap between the 308 and larger 3008 SUV to make such a car a reality. Updated petrol and diesel engines will continue to be offered alongside the plug-in hybrids. Peugeot is still committed to diesel and is even offering it in its new 208 and 2008 models at a time when many rivals are abandoning the fuel at this end of the market.

Jul 13, 2021 at 12:24pm ET Peugeot announced that with the addition of two new plug-in hybrid versions of the Peugeot 308, the brand's lineup will be electrified by 70% by the end of this year. Peugeot defines electrification as the availability of at least one all-electric or plug-in hybrid version of a particular model. The goal for 2023 is 85% and for 2025 is 100%. In the case of commercial vehicles, it will be even sooner - 100% in 2021. Let's take a look at the lineup for 2021: The latest plug-in hybrid models are 308 saloon and SW estate versions: 308 PHEV and 308SW PHEV. They will be equipped with a kWh battery for 36-37 miles of WLTP all-electric range. The French manufacturer prepared two powertrain options: Peugeot 308 Hybrid 225 e-EAT8 up to 36 miles (58 km) of WLTP all-electric range kWh system output of up to 225 bhpa 180 bhp PureTech engine (132 kW) and an 81kW electric motor, coupled with the 8-speed e-EAT8 gearbox Peugeot 308 Hybrid 180 e-EAT8 up to 37 miles (60 km) of WLTP all-electric range kWh system output of up to 180 bhpa 150hp (110kW) PureTech engine and an 81kW electric motor, coupled with the 8-speed e-EAT8 gearbox The lineup so far includes only two all-electric passenger models - Peugeot e-208 and Peugeot e-2008, but Peugeot's BEV van lineup is pretty strong with three models. "The success of PEUGEOT’s new electric and plug-in hybrid range has allowed it to become the second best-selling generalist automotive brand in Europe in the first five months of 2021 and is already the third best-selling generalist brand in Europe for electrified vehicles this year. PEUGEOT’s e-208 and e-2008 models stand in second place in their respective Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) segments." Linda Jackson, CEO of PEUGEOT, said: “Electrification is at the heart of our "Power of Choice" strategy, which gives our customers the option to choose the powertrain that suits their needs, whether conventional or electrified. The excellent sales results of our electrified models show that in Europe, this strategy is bearing fruit. Internationally, even in markets where electrification is emerging, we will use our portfolio of electrified models to stand out as an inventive, premium generalist brand. Wherever we are, we want to be real drivers of progress." See also

JAKARTA, 22 MARET 2021, Selamat datang New Peugeot 308. Peugeot Global dengan bangga memperkenalkan Peugeot 308 terbaru. Ada semangat baru yang dihadirkan pada sosok Peugeot baru ini. Berada di puncak kesuksesan, pada segmen hatchback, Peugeot 308 begitu kuat. Tidak kurang dari 7 juta hatchback terjual melekat pada sosok hatchback. ^{► Great interior, clever infotainment system► Hybrid powertrains offer good performance► Driving position is rubbish if you’re tall Peugeot is going great guns at the minute. The company has shaken off the fusty image it curated at the turn of the 21st century. Now, it’s churning out interesting, quality vehicles that give leading family car brands like Volkswagen and Ford a run for their money. The 308 is Peugeot’s latest effort. It rivals the likes of the Hyundai i30, Toyota Corolla and Mazda 3, as well as long-standing hatchback favourites such as the Volkswagen Golf and Ford Focus. Its opponents are plentiful and talented – so does this new Pug offer anything to tempt buyers away from the established competition? On paper, it certainly seems so. Peugeot offers the 308 with a good range of engines, including an eager petrol, an economical diesel and two plug-in hybrid powertrains. There’s even a pure-electric model on the way in 2023. It also looks great, the interior is well-designed and Peugeot’s new 10-inch infotainment system is up there with the best in the business. However, after spending some time behind the wheel, we found a couple of foibles that could affect the car’s appeal for a lot of buyers. You can’t leave us hanging there. Spit it out Fine. I was planning on easing into the criticism gently, but I’ll get the worst of it out of the way now. The 308’s driving position is appalling if you’re any taller than five foot ten. The seat is mounted far too high and the steering wheel sits way too low. The wheel is also too small, which makes it difficult to see the gauge cluster. As I shall now explain. If you raise the steering wheel up to its highest setting so it’s a comfortable height for your shoulders, the upper rim completely obscures the dials and you can’t see how fast you’re going. Try explaining that one to plod after blazing through your local town at 50mph. This forces you to adopt a very unergonomic high seat, low wheel driving position, which throws up a whole different set of problems. If you brake while navigating a junction, for example, your hands clatter into your knees which stops you from getting around the bend. Infuriatingly, I couldn’t find a happy medium between the two extremes. Sounds like this is your fault for being a strange shape That’s entirely plausible. But there are plenty of folk shaped like me that will run into the same problem – so my biggest piece of advice is to negotiate a good test drive before you sign on the dotted line to make sure that the Peugeot 308’s cabin fits your body. The rest of the 308’s interior is great. Quality is excellent, with lots of soft-touch materials, sturdy switchgear and fancy fabric trim strips for the dash. The infotainment system is a corker, too. The screen is as crisp and fast as a modern smartphone, and there’s a strip of five customisable shortcut buttons mounted on a dedicated panel below to make it easier to navigate the unit’s plethora of functions. Peugeot calls them “i-Toggles” and they can be programmed to jump to almost any function on the touchscreen that your imagination can conjure. If you wanted to, you could have one that tunes the stereo to Finnish folk metal, one that whacks the air-con on full and another that programmes the sat-nav to your local livestock market. Clever stuff. But what’s it like to drive? Honestly? It’s a bit hit and miss. The suspension works perfectly fine when you’re cruising on a smooth A-road or a motorway. But, chuck the Peugeot 308 down a twisty back road, and chinks start to appear in its armour. For starters, it’s too stiff for its purpose. In my eyes, the Peugeot 308 isn’t a sporty car. You don’t get as much feedback as you do from a Ford Focus or Mazda 3 and, with that laid back driving position, it should have been pitched as a comfy cruiser rather than a B-road barnstormer. But it’s sprung like a hot hatchback. The dampers don’t have a lot of travel and they can’t react quickly to changes, which means the wheels crash into potholes hard rather than easing into them gently. The problem gets worse if you’re on a bumpy corner, where the stiff suspension will unsettle the car. It isn’t dangerous, but it doesn’t encourage you to drive spiritedly. Peugeot has also fitted the 308 with very quick steering in an effort to make the car feel agile. The effect is a combination of the low gearing on the rack and the tiny hexagonal steering wheel, which only requires a quarter turn to navigate most corners. The setup works very well on the petrol model because it’s the lightest model in the line-up. It only weighs 1,288kgs, so it turns in keenly. The plug-in hybrid models aren’t quite as sharp because of the added heft (300kgs in total) of the hybrid system. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a lot sharper than rivals such as the Volkswagen e-Hybrid and the Mercedes A 250 e – it’s just not quite as good as the pure-petrol version. But these are the sacrifices we make for low company tax rates, I suppose. There’s also a slightly counter-intuitive benefit to the PHEV system. It smooths out the ride a little and helps to keep the car settled over uneven surfaces. The lighter petrol model is constantly moving under you if you’re tackling a B-road with gusto. Tell us more about the 308’s engines. What’s to like? The three-cylinder petrol unit is easily the best unit in the current line-up. It’s a willing little unit, serving up 128bhp and 170lb/ft of torque, which is just enough to make the 308 feel nippy. It’s also very refined for a three-cylinder, and it even sounds good when you set loose your inner hooligan and mash the throttle through the firewall. The diesel is, well, a diesel. It’s a bit rattly at idle, although it smooths out nicely once you’re up to speed. Peugeot says it develops 129bhp and 221lb/ft of torque, but it never feels as fast as that torque figure would suggest. In-gear acceleration is lethargic, even if you put the engine in sport mode. The 308’s pair of plug-in hybrid powertrains are refined when driven sensibly, but they’re writing cheques they can’t cash in terms of efficiency. Both are based on a four-cylinder petrol engine and Peugeot claims they’ll achieve upwards of 200mpg on the WLTP combined cycle. Spoiler alert: they won’t. Drive with a light foot and you’ll average more than 50mpg – especially if you’ve got a full battery. The powertrain can tootle around on electric power alone for 35–40 miles, meaning you’d likely not need to burn a drop of fuel during your morning commute. However, if you run the battery flat you’ll struggle to achieve 30mpg, because the petrol engine needs to work hard to haul around the dead weight of the hybrid system. If you don’t plug them in, the hybrids will keep the engine turning to charge the battery. This burns more fuel and negatively impacts your mpg figure. To be fair to Peugeot, we did have that setting engaged when we tested the car, but that’s only because the previous journalist had left it with a flat battery. Make sure to plug them in, then. More importantly – are they quick? Sort of – but like everything with the Peugeot 308, there’s a caveat. You have a choice of two power outputs. The cheaper model produces 178bhp, while the more expensive variant develops 222bhp. The former is priced from £33,035 while the latter starts from £37,235, as it’s only available with Peugeot’s most expensive GT and GT Premium specifications. Both versions have the same 236lb/ft torque output, which means the pricier model hardly feels any faster than the cheaper one. The performance figures back up our observations, as the 222bhp PHEV is only one tenth of a second quicker from 0–62mph than the 178bhp model. Is that really worth the extra cash? Neither like being hurried, either. Plant the throttle hard to overtake, and there’s a noticeable delay while the eight-speed automatic gearbox figures out which cog it needs. Then there’s another pause before the electric motor kicks in. You wait a total of two seconds between pressing the throttle and accelerating, by which point your window of opportunity has passed. The remedy is to drop back and roll into the throttle gently. But wait. Just before you fill my inbox up with “I told you so” quips about the drawbacks of electrified petrol engines, consider that both 308 PHEVs have low Benefit-in-Kind rates of eight percent, which makes them a very tempting prospect for company car buyers. Road tax is low, too, as their official CO2 emissions figures range between 24 and 30g/km. What about boot space? It’s good news here, because the 308 is one of the more practical cars in its class. The petrol and diesel versions have 412 litres of boot space with the rear bench in place, but that figure drops to 361 litres with the plug-in hybrid powertrain. The battery lives under the boot floor which eats up space. Fold the bench flat, and the boot capacity of the non-electrically 308 swells to 1,323 litres. The PHEVs offer a maximum of 1,271 litres. That sounds like a big practicality penalty, but that’s before you consider that figure is still 34 litres more than you get in the pure combustion-engined Golf. If you need the extra space, you can always opt for the 308 SW estate. It offers 608 litres of space with the rear bench in place and 1,634 litres with the seats stowed. It also has a longer wheelbase than the hatchback, which liberates a little more leg room for those in the rear and benefits the car’s ride quality. Verdict I’m forced to be less objective than usual with the Peugeot 308, as its suitability to your lifestyle is ultimately determined by your body shape and preferred driving position. I’m tall, so I couldn’t entertain the shapes the seat and wheel were contorting me into – and I hated not being able to see the gauges when I made myself comfortable. A shorter driver will probably find it easier to live with. There are a lot of things the 308 does well. It has a huge boot, for example, and its build quality impresses. Peugeot’s new infotainment setup is also a huge step up over its previous systems and the i-Toggle widget bar makes it easy to operate all of the car’s cabin functions from the touchscreen. There’s a good range of engines, too. The petrol is definitely the sweet spot in the line-up, but the PHEVs make a compelling argument for the amount of performance they offer and their low BiK ratings. They’re not as efficient in the real world as Peugeot claims, but the same can be said of most PHEVs systems. We’re looking forward to driving the new electric model soon. With 250 miles of range and a 154bhp electric motor up front, it could leap frog the petrol as the pick of the range.} Peugeot is a French brand, currently owned by Stellantis.
