Peugeot 308 is a replacement model for one of the most successful Peugeot models of all-time, the 307, that racked up 3.2 million sales worldwide since its launch in 2001. The 308 sits on the same basic framework, but is bigger in almost every dimension.
Four engines has been offered; a new 110kW 1.6-litre turbcharged petrol engine, an 88kW naturally-aspirated version of the same engine, and carried-over 1.6-litre (80kW) and 2.0-litre (100kW) four-cylinder diesels.
The 308 has been awarded the maximum five-star safety rating for occupant protection by independent safety body NCAP.
