Peugeot 308 Overview
The Peugeot 308 is a compact car produced by the French automaker Peugeot. Over the years, it has become a staple in Peugeot’s lineup, representing their vision for a modern compact hatchback. The Peugeot 308 was launched in 2007 as a replacement for the Peugeot 307. It marked Peugeot’s efforts to refine and elevate their presence in the competitive compact car segment.
Introduced with a more modern aesthetic, the first generation 308 adopted a softer design than its predecessor, the 307, with features like a large grille and sleeker headlamps. This generation also saw the introduction of variants like the 308 CC (a coupé cabriolet) and the 308 SW (an estate version). The second-gen 308 saw a more significant design overhaul. It adopted Peugeot’s new design language, characterized by sharper lines, a more streamlined grille, and the brand’s signature “lion’s claw” tail lights. The interior also received significant upgrades, with Peugeot’s i-Cockpit becoming a standout feature.
Especially in its second generation, the 308’s interior has been praised for its minimalist design and quality materials. The Peugeot i-Cockpit, characterized by a compact steering wheel, raised instrument cluster, and a central touchscreen, provides a unique and ergonomic driving experience.
The 308 offers a variety of petrol, diesel, and hybrid powertrains, with a focus on efficiency and performance. The sportier GT and GTi versions, in particular, have been well-received for their performance and handling.
Peugeot 308 Sales Figures
The second-generation Peugeot 308 was awarded the European Car of the Year in 2014, a testament to its design, features, and overall package. The Peugeot 308 competes in a crowded segment against other European hatchbacks such as the Volkswagen Golf, Renault Mégane, Ford Focus, and Opel/Vauxhall Astra. The 308 has played a crucial role in redefining Peugeot’s image in the compact car segment. As of my last update in September 2021, Peugeot has unveiled a new iteration of the 308, with even more emphasis on design and electrification, showcasing the brand’s commitment to modernity and sustainability.
