The new PEUGEOT 308: A refined design, an innovative cockpit inspired PEUGEOT designers and engineers have designed an audacious, intuitive and modern hatchback with a pure and sleek design. The new PEUGEOT 308 has compact dimensions (4.25m) and a much reduced weight compared to its predecessor (140kg). Its driving experience is unprecedented and its CO2 emissions represent a record by leading the market sector (from 82g/km and 3.1 l/100 km / 91.1mpg).

The new PEUGEOT 308: A refined design, an innovative cockpitinspired

PEUGEOT designers and engineers have designed an audacious, intuitive and modernhatchback with a pure and sleek design.

The new PEUGEOT 308 has compact dimensions (4.25m) and a much reduced weightcompared to its predecessor (­140kg). Its driving experience is unprecedented and its CO2emissions represent a record by leading the market sector (from 82g/km and 3.1 l/100 km /91.1mpg).

The choice of a refined interior with innovative instruments and controls, the all new PEUGEOTi­Cockpit provides new driving sensations.

Its high level of quality, the result of a very ambitious specification, aims to place the car amongthe very best, the embodiment of the marque's range enhancement.

To win over new customers, the new PEUGEOT 308 is positioned as a strong and differentalternative with a design focused on four key themes: efficiency, design, driving experience andquality.

A unique exterior style"The new PEUGEOT 308 has a highly­refined and technological exterior design which has afully­ justified impression of strength and quality" said Gilles Vidal, Director, PEUGEOT Design

At the front, a large centrally­placed grille, surrounded with chrome, emphasises the upmarketelegance of the new PEUGEOT 308. Full LED headlamps are specified as standard on thehigher levels of finish. This is a world first. They create a strong light signature. Thin, expressiveand sculpted, they have the characteristic appearance, focused and technological.

The rear lamps reinforce the technological and dynamic image of the vehicle. They take up thecurve the three PEUGEOT lion claws, outlined by LEDs. Present on all levels of trim, they are afirst in the C segment.

A refined and technological interiorThe new PEUGEOT 308 offers an innovative interior: with the PEUGEOT i­Cockpit. Thisconsists of four integrated components: a compact steering wheel for intense dynamicsensations, a high­positioned ‘head up’ instrument panel to easily read the information withouttaking the driver’s eyes off the road ahead, an enhancing high centre console and a large 9.7”touch screen for intuitive driving.

The virtual absence of buttons combined with the use of upmarket materials brings a purity notpresently available in the market.

The instrument panel has been designed as a technological object of great precision. Theinstrument binacles are stretched over a significant width and the symmetrical rotation of theneedles makes it easier to read the information arranged, over the compact steering wheel. Thisarrangement makes it more possible to focus the driver's attention on the upper part of theinstrument panel, so that they don't have to deviate from their forward view of the road.

PEUGEOT's expertise for benchmark handlingThe whole innovative design, reduces weight, reduces overhangs, lowers the centre of gravity,has electric power steering, a compact steering wheel, high­performance tyres and brakes,combined with PEUGEOT's acknowledged expertise in the area of ride and handling to give thenew PEUGEOT 308 benchmark handling.  The result is an unprecedented combination of agility,comfort and road holding to a high level.

Technological driving aids for more tranquil drivingFor the comfort and safety of all, the new PEUGEOT 308 is fitted, as standard or as an option,with a range of equipment: blind spot monitoring, electric handbrake, reversing camera using thelarge colour screen, keyless access and starting, Park Assist function (spring 2014) , etc.

Extended and modern connectivityThe connectivity of the new PEUGEOT 308 is extensive. A special application permittingretrieval, on the user's Smartphone, of the information from the vehicle (location, mileage,economy, lighting of warning lamps, etc.) is also currently being developed for spring 2014. Theprocessing of this data will make it possible to offer practical services such as guidance to thelocation of the vehicle, servicing alerts, trip statistics, etc.

Manufacture in FranceThe Sochaux factory manufactures the new PEUGEOT 308. The French sites in Trémery andDouvrin supply all the powertrains.
