Peugeot New Zealand has announced that the new 308 model will receive a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) variant for the first time. The new five-door is the first car in its lineup to wear the carmaker’s new logo. Built on Peugeot’s Efficient Modular Platform (EMP2 V3), the new 308 is said to have grown stronger, safer and quieter than its predecessors. Skip to ContentSkip to FooterWe try the all-new Peugeot 308 on British roads to see if it stands a chance in the competitive hatchback class10 May 2022VerdictPeugeot’s all-new 308 feels even more like a premium product, in keeping with the brand’s push upmarket. The French hatch has plenty in its armoury to trouble the likes of the VW Golf and Ford Focus, not to mention the many SUVs that have stolen sales over the past decade. But an awkward driving position and a lack of interior space slightly undermine the comfort, refinement and technology that the 308 humble family hatchback has fallen out of favour with buyers craving an SUV, but all the major brands still have something to offer in the segment – not least because hatchbacks still sell in reasonable numbers. Which is why Peugeot has introduced a new 308. We’re driving the PureTech here, which is likely to be the best-selling won’t dwell on the car’s looks for too long, although Peugeot has worked hard to give the 308 a distinctive style that makes some of its competitors look a tad dull. The firm’s trademark ‘fang’ daytime running lights sit astride pinched LED headlights that flow into the grille, and there are plenty of creases and slashes in the bodywork heading to the rear, which features ‘three-claw’ rear all looks very premium, and this feel continues inside, with our GT Premium-spec car boasting a classy mix of fabric, piano-black plastic and man-made reviews There are plenty of storage bins dotted around, too, although you’ll lose a tiny bit of room underneath the armrest in the hybrid models. Boot space also shrinks should you choose the hybrid, from a decent 412 litres to just 361 latest 308 is based on the same EMP2 platform as the previous-generation car, plus many other models in the Stellantis group. However, while the platform offers some flexibility in layout, rear legroom in the 308 is cramped if you’re sitting behind someone tall. Thick C-pillars make it feel a bit claustrophobic in the back, Premium models offer heated and electrically adjustable seats as standard. You also get Peugeot’s Drive Assist Pack Plus with lane positioning and adaptive cruise control, along with a 360-degree parking camera, lane assist and heated front seats with massaging a 10-inch digital dash and a touchscreen, below which are Peugeot’s ‘i-Toggles’ that act as shortcuts to certain menus. They’re big and easy to use on the move, but sometimes you can accidentally press them if you rest your hand to use the main all works relatively well, with decent graphics and responses, plus lots of features. But the i-Cockpit set-up means you have to sit quite high up so you can see the full driver’s display, otherwise some information will be completely blocked off by the flat-topped steering the move, the standard auto box delivers smooth shifts. The 128bhp PureTech petrol engine isn’t especially pokey meaning a 0-62mph time of seconds, so performance is best described as adequate, feeling lethargic at times. However it’s relatively quiet both around town and at motorway small steering wheel does give the 308 a sporty feel, but while the rack itself is quick and direct, there’s not a tremendous amount of has managed to mix sportiness with a comfortable ride, too. There’s plenty of grip and not much body roll, while even on the largest 18-inch wheels it glides relatively well over rough 308 range starts from £24,635, but you’ll want to move to at least Allure Premium, which starts at £27,385, to really make the most of the Peugeot’s classy interior. Granted, most will be looking for a finance deal, and the Peugeot 308 looks even better on this on an annual limit of 10,000 miles, an Allure Premium model will cost £285 per month over 48 months with a £5,000 deposit – a similarly specced Golf will cost £300. Step up to this high-spec GT Premium version, and you’ll be looking at £358, which still looks like reasonably good 308 PureTech 130 GT PremiumPrice:£31,520Engine: 3cyl turbo petrolPower/torque:128bhp/230NmTransmission:Eight-speed automatic, front-wheel drive 0-62mph: secondsTop speed:130mphEconomy/CO2: sale:NowHave you considered?Skoda Fabia: long-term test reviewLong-term testsSkoda Fabia: long-term test reviewFirst report: We head back to the petrol pumps with our new family supermini10 Jul 2022New Skoda Fabia Monte Carlo 2022 reviewRoad testsNew Skoda Fabia Monte Carlo 2022 reviewThe Fabia Monte Carlo is best enjoyed for what it is, a comfortable, refined and capable family car, that rides and steers as well as the VW Group sta

This illustration was made by Jean Francois Hubert/SB-Medien for CarScoops. It is a speculative render that is neither related to nor endorsed by Peugeot. The second-generation 508 is the flagship of Peugeot’s range, and one of the few remaining contestants in the midsize sedan segment. While it doesn’t show, the model debuted almost four years ago at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show which means that Peugeot could be working on a mid-life facelift. The Peugeot 508 is considered one of the most stylish models in the D-Segment, adopting a low-slung five-door fastback coupĂ©-saloon bodystyle. It is also the first production model to introduce the signature tusk-shaped LEDs on the front bumper that were later applied to the whole range. The facelift will likely build upon the successful recipe while adopting fresh design elements from newer models to freshen up its style.

The black accents and the 3D-style graphics make the grille appear larger despite being mostly covered for better aerodynamics. Like the aforementioned SUVs, the 508 will likely get a redesigned bumper with additional faux intakes in the sides, further emphasizing the presence of vertical LEDs. The headlights could also get slightly redesigned LED graphics, merging nicely with the grille. Besides the new face, the 508 will likely remain largely the same, possibly with new options for exterior colors and wheel designs. The rear end could also get a few tweaks on the claw-inspired LED taillight graphics and the rear bumper garnish.

After all, Peugeot showed its dedication to low-slung family haulers with the premiere of the new-generation 308 SW earlier this year. Despite being four years old, the interior of the Peugeot 508 still looks like it comes from the future, thanks to the high-mounted center console, the aluminum-style buttons, the inclined infotainment touchscreen up to 10-inches in diameter, and the digital instrument cluster. However, there are a few updates that could make the dashboard even more attractive, including the addition of the 3D instruments from Peugeot’s latest i-Cockpit, alongside new trim options and more ADAS features as standard. Like in most mid-cycle updates, the EMP2-based Peugeot 508 is expected to get slightly cleaner versions of the same engines. The French company has announced plans of electrifying its whole range by 2025, before going EV-only in Europe by 2030. This means that the updated 508 will be one of the last ICE-powered models by Peugeot. Since electrification becomes more and more popular, the plug-in hybrid variants are expected to be the core of the range. Those are the Hybrid 225 e-EAT8 with a combined output of 222 hp (165 kW / 225 PS) and front-wheel-drive, and the 508 PSE (Peugeot Sport Engineered) performance flagship producing a combined 360 PS (355 HP / 265 kW) with all-wheel-drive. Read: New Peugeot 508 PSE PHEV Launched In Germany, Costs More Than BMW’s M340i xDrive The current generation Peugeot 508 in PSE PHEV form The 508 was introduced with the Puretech gasoline and the BlueHDi diesel engines although later on, it became available with the smaller PureTech and BlueHDi producing 128 hp (96 kW / 130 PS). It is not clear if Peugeot will opt for a simplified ICE range giving more emphasis on electrification and lowering its fleet average emissions in Europe. Besides the European market, the 508 is also available in the Middle East, and in China as the long-wheelbase 508L. Judging from the previous facelifts by Peugeot, the updated 508 could appear as early as next year prior to a 2023 market launch since the French automaker has already announced minor updates for the 2022 model year.

Part of the brand’s new thrust is that 80% of all new vehicles will be electrified by the end of 2021, and as such, hybrid variants of the 308 can be expected to feature.

Pricing for the new Peugeot 308 has been revealed, with the hatchback available for £24,000. Read on for more details. New Peugeot 308 revealed Angular new design i-Cockpit digital displays as standard 10-inch infotainment screen Super-classy interior Plug-in hybrid versions available Sports new Peugeot badge Priced from £24,000 A new version of the Peugeot 308 has been revealed. The classy French alternative to the likes of the Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf gets a sharp new look as well as plug-in hybrid engines for the first time, and prices start from £24,000. Pricing has now been confirmed for the Peugeot 308, with its £24,000 entry price getting you an Active Premium car equipped with a 130hp petrol engine. Standard exterior equipment here includes 16-inch alloy wheels, LED automatic headlights and automatic wipers. Hop inside and you’re met with a 10-inch infotainment system with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto built-in, with rear parking sensors also included in the package. Move up to Allure and your new Peugeot 308 will get 17-inch alloys, a chrome-stamped front grille and a leather-effect interior trim. Ambient lighting comes throughout too, along with an upgraded infotainment system that includes 3D navigation added as well. Those rear parking sensors are bolstered with a set at the front, with a 180-degree reversing camera thrown in for good measure. An Allure car can be had from £25,850. Next up in the range is Allure Premium, available from £26,750. This focuses on introducing assistance tech, with adaptive cruise control and long-range blind spot detection headlining the additions. You’lll have wireless support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay too. Following that is GT at £28,650. As well as 18-inch alloy wheels, this brings more badging to the exterior of that car as well as Matrix LED headlights. You’ll have a configurable head-up display thrown in too, plus a ‘Driver Sport Pack’ to adjust the car’s steering and throttle response to feel a bit racier. Sitting at the very top of the range is GT Premium. This builds on GT with a Focal Premium audio system, seats with a massage function, a 360-degree parking camera and lane centring technology for the adaptive cruise control. This will start at £30,250. Order your Peugeot 308 now and you’ll likely be in the first batch of UK deliveries scheduled for December. 2021 Peugeot 308 design Oh look, it’s that new Peugeot badge There’s no mistaking the 308 for a modern Peugeot. 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. The wheel will even detect how much you’re gripping it when using stuff such as the adaptive cruise-control system. 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?

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 coupĂ©-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.
2021 Peugeot 3008, 5008 facelift launched in Malaysia – Allure only, 1.6 THP, CKD with more kit; from RM162k. Bermaz Auto Alliance (BAuto), the newly appointed sole distributor for the Peugeot 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. . 215 233 187 415 406 351 54 66
