The Peugeot 308 is a family group car manufactured by French carmaker Peugeot.
The Peugeot 308 was designed to deprive the VW Golf of the finest crown in its category, and it was short-lived, only the indegent rear footrest and vague entertainment system lowered the medial side Peugeot 308, to celebrate the launch of the Peugeot Launched in 1969, the PEUGEOT 304 has generated an original animation that reflects the evolution of the household car over the past five decades. 2021 Peugeot 308 has a range of petrol and diesel engines. The Peugeot 308 is a household car manufactured by French carmaker Peugeot.
Allure trim is our pick, it adds 17in alloys, electric rear windows, dual-zone climate control, privacy glass, automatic wipers and power-folding door mirrors, as well as that 3D-style driver display that people mentioned earlier. Even the cheapest trim level, Active, is very well equipped, listing 16in alloy wheels, heated door mirrors, automatic lights, air-con and a leather controls among its highlights. GT Line adds further cosmetic tweaks inside and out and an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, combined with visibility aids we’ve covered before. The top-spec GT trim is available only with the e-208 electric model, so click the web link to see exactly about that.
We’ve reviewed the GTI separately. The 308 GT trim, above GT Line, is available with powerful petrol and diesel engines and brings changes to the suspension setup and styling, while the 308 GTI sits at the top of the range as a rival to the Volkswagen Golf GTI, Renault Megane RS and Hyundai i30N. GT Line cars get LED headlights and give a flavour of the design of the 308 GTI, without the larger running costs or energetic performance.
The 208 scores well for comfort, offering a gentler and more supple ride than even the Volkswagen Polo or Audi A1 can offer. The fact it’s softer suspension than rivals, such as the Renault Clio and Ford Fiesta, means there’s more body bounce along undulating B-roads, but not in the wayward manner of a Citroën C3.Even nasty ridges and potholes don’t cause too much discomfort. Things remain relatively smooth at all speeds, but are particularly etc the motorway where in actuality the 208 lopes along like a much bigger car than it is.
The Peugeot 308 2.0-liter engine used to own 148 horsepower for a while, however now it’s in the form of the BlueHDi 180 with only 178 horsepower. It was once stated in a model with 81 horsepower without a 1.2-liter turbo, but that has been dropped in 2017. The 1.2-liter engine almost doesn’t run and stays silent when extended, but a lengthy sound is heard when the rotation counter hits the red line. The petrol engine choice is Peugeot’s 1.2 PureTech turbo three-cylinder and 1.6 PureTech four-cylinder. Now the range starts with the 108-horsepower turbo PureTech 110, which drives 0-62 mph in 11.1 seconds, a premier speed of 117 mph, and offers 205Nm of torque delivered from just 1,500 rpm.
The Peugeot 308 control panel is stylish. In the face-lifting model, it gets Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as updates for Tom-Tom Live-sat. It didn’t hold the gear for the Peugeot 308. It features active 16-inch alloy wheels and two-zone climate control, as well as rear stop sensors, automatic headlights and shut-off devices, lumbar support for driver’s seats, and a 9.7-inch touch screen. Peugeot chose setting the car’s key numbers on the surface of the tyre – since it does on small Peugeot 208 – but this setting may signify for many drivers it’s hidden by the steering wheel. The quality of the plastic is much better than the Peugeots’predecessor and the 308 is very suited to the Volkswagen Golf in this regard.
1.5 is flexible, so you’ll need to repeat it infrequently, and that makes the 308 reasonably fast. The 109-horsepower engine is very good at low revs and chooses gasoline, and that is the most popular engine. The 2022 Peugeot Peugeot 308 diesel engine is just a 1.5-liter engine with 128 horsepower that replaces the recently obsolete 1.6-liter with 118 horsepower – a model that has existed since the automobile was manufactured. They’re very powerful and have great performance while the turbochargers rotate. The high-performance 1.6 petrol is reserved for Peugeot’s GT and GTi models. The 1.2-liter three-cylinder petrol engines are also noteworthy. The 129-horsepower version of 1.2 feels extraordinary and fast, although not worth the additional expense. Of course, the penalty because of this speed is really a significant thirst for fuel.
In keeping with other Peugeots, you look over, rather than through, the small controls to start to see the instruments – it’s a unique touch, and something you’ll either get on with or won’t. Inside, things have also moved up a gear thanks to a couple novel flourishes such as for example Peugeot’s minimalist i-Cockpit layout featuring a large 9.7-inch touchscreen instead of the most common scattering of buttons and switches.
Apple is set with features like CarPlay, Android Auto and MirrorLink, which permit you to use some features of one’s smartphone, including sat-nav, through the car’s touch screen. The 308 pedals also feel very high, 9.7 infotainment touchscreen is standard on all models. Peugeot 308 has height and waist adjustment and feels comfortable in the beginning, but you’ll realize that there isn’t much side support in tight turns on the road, and the short seat doesn’t support your thighs that well.
