From conception to production care has been taken over every last detail. With its sharp design and confident lines, the 308 is unmistakeably Peugeot.
At Peugeot, sharp design is in our DNA. The Peugeot 308 is no exception, every detail , no matter the size has been meticulously developed . The strong, confident lines that define a Peugeot are everywhere to be seen. At the front the sculpted bonnet with sharp lines lead to slim headlamps featuring LED technology on Allure models and above.
In profile the Peugeot 308 sits closer to the road with a 20mm lower centre of gravity than its predecessor giving a more purposeful stance whilst elegant touches such as chrome window surrounds frame the side windows perfectly. Sharp lines run the full length of the car, with a strong 'muscular' shoulder that builds over the rear wheel arch blending seamlessly with the perfectly sculpted rear. At the rear the Peugeot 308 features the iconic Peugeot 'claw' effect LED lighting signature as well as a lightweight, composite tailgate.
Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology remains a rare feature in the car industry, with the Peugeot 308 however this is not the case. Full LED headlamps feature from Allure level and above providing the following customer benefits:
In addition all Peugeot 308 models feature LED daytime running lights to increase the visibility of the vehicle during daylight hours. These are fully integrated into the headlamp clusters on Allure level and above.
To stand out from the crowd and serve as a very striking visual marker for sports models, GT Line level and above benefit from sequential LED indicator technology. When signalling left or right the front bumper mounted indicators glide in an outwards formation rather than flash in the conventional 'repeater' style.
All Peugeot 308 hatchback models benefit from the iconic Peugeot 'claw' effect LED lighting signature comprising of 3 x LED light strips per cluster.
The design signature harks back to the iconic Peugeot 504 Coupe and Cabriolet with each cluster featuring LED technology in the side lighting and brake lights.
As LED's require no warm up time, the brake lights of the Peugeot 308 light up instantly upon brake depression, this increases safety as halogen technology requires 0.2 seconds of warm up time.
Every journey is a unique experience when you have a panoramic view of the colours and landscapes outside. Designed to increase the tranquility and wellbeing of those on-board, this large fixed panel glass roof (measuring 1.44m2) bathes the cabin in natural light.
An electric roller blind is also included, this blind is able to filter out 95% of exterior light.
Peugeot 308 is available with a choice of wheel sizes ranging for 15" to 19". All wheels have been designed to complement the cars sharp exterior design. With the exception of Access level, all the Peugeot 308 models feature alloy wheels. There are also varying levels of finish to choose from including standard silver, two tone and diamond cut finishes (trim level dependent). With the exception of 19" wheel options, all Peugeot 308 models feature a space saver spare wheel for additional peace of mind.
At Peugeot we know that a vehicle's platform isn't the most exciting subject, but our advancements in platform design translate into real benefits for you. EMP2 is so advanced that we filed 116 patents during its development. The Peugeot 308 is 140kg lighter than its predecessor (the equivalent of two average sized adults), with 70kg of this weight saving coming from EMP2 through the use of lightweight, high strength materials and new manufacturing processes.
As well as increasing driver enjoyment, EMP2 also contributes to reduced CO2 emissions and fuel consumption, and also allows us to change the way we design our cars. In profile, the wheels of the Peugeot 308 sit closer to the edges of the car, improving its stance but also reducing the overhangs for increased manoeuvrability.
