The third generation of the Peugeot 308 has been unveiled boasting a list of meaningful incremental upgrades along with a suite of luxury equipment. Peugeot has unveiled the 2022 308 small car which returns with a familiar formula and a new face but with a large emphasis placed on technology, safety and everyday comfort. The third-generation 308 won’t make it to Australia until early 2022 and will slot into the popular small car class here in Australia and take on rivals such as the Mazda 3 and Hyundai i30. Peugeot has released the third-generation 308 which will arrive in Australia in early 2022 How has Peugeot changed the design of the 2022 308? Peugeot has placed a strong emphasis on aerodynamics for the third generation with a softer nose shape giving way to a long bonnet and heavily tilted windscreen before the air finally flows off the roof which uses a spoiler to prevent disturbance. The overall height of the Peugeot has actually been dropped by 20mm while the wheelbase has been extended by 55mm, primarily to add more legroom for those in the backseat. The face of the 308 is now sharper and sunken down, with the main LED headlights attached formed in a hook shape with the daytime running lights. At the rear Peugeot has kept things fairly traditional, with large exhaust outlets in the rear bumper and LED tail lights said to represent the three claws of the Peugeot Lion. The overall height of the 308 has been dropped by 20mm to improve airflow Will the 2022 308 drive any better? The 308 sits on an evolved version of the EMP2 platform underpinning the second generation but with structure changes to make the Peugeot more dynamically capable and safer in a collision. And while the length has expanded by a significant 110mm, the 308 still remains agile around town with a turning circle of metres, which slightly beats out popular rivals such as the Toyota Corolla at metres. The engine lineup for the 308 largely remains unchanged for the new generation, with the availability of either petrol, diesel or plug-in hybrid engines with all driving the front wheels. The 308 still sits on the same EMP2 platform as its predecessor but it has been upgraded The engine most likely to make it to Australia is the turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine available in tunes making 81kW of power and 210Nm of torque or 96kW/230Nm. A larger turbodiesel four-cylinder engine is also offered, developing 97kW/300Nm with both options paired to either the six-speed manual or eight-speed torque converter automatic. Peugeot currently offers two plug-in hybrid options known as the Hybrid 225 and Hybrid 180 which are paired exclusively to the automatic. The plug-in hybrid system found in the 3008 will also be coming to Australia The Hybrid 225 is found in the Peugeot 3008 small SUV and uses a 132kW petrol engine along with a 81kW electric engine that uses a battery to provide 59 kilometres on electric-only range, according to WLTP. The Hybrid 180 uses a less powerful 110kW petrol engine and the same 81kW electric motor but actually travels slightly further with 60 kilometres of electric-only range (WLTP). Historically Australia has missed out on these hybrid options but the brand has been introducing a slew of hybrids recently in the 3008 small SUV and 508 sedan. Peugeot has fitted a 10-inch instrument cluster and accompanying touchscreen What has changed on the inside of the 308? Peugeot has modernised the interior of the 308 with a 10-inch digital instrument cluster that has 3D graphics and sits further back into the dash than you might expect. It joins an additional 10-inch touchscreen in the centre which features an adjoining bottom screen made up of configurable screen-badged buttons known as ‘i-toggles’. This gives drivers the ability to program the apps and features they use the most along the bottom, instead of being stuck with whatever the manufacturer decides. The multimedia system now features wireless smartphone mirroring but Peugeot could not confirm if this included both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. In addition, two phones can now connect to the system using Bluetooth. Other niceties such as a wireless charger, USB C ports, an armrest and ambient light are features you may not find in every car in this segment. The touchscreen has an adjoining bottom screen made up of configurable screen-badged buttons known as ‘i-toggles’ Is the new 2022 Peugeot 308 a safer car? Along with improved occupant protection with an upgraded chassis, the Peugeot 308 has updated the existing driving aids to make commuting easier and safer. Adaptive cruise control now has a stop and go function for use in traffic with other features such as semi-automatic lane change that will suggest when to change lanes and the system now has better judgement of how fast to take an incoming turn. The Peugeot 308 features a 360-degree camera to make parking easier Other features such as automatic emergency braking can detect pedestrians and cyclists, driver monitoring, traffic sign recognition, and a 360-degree camera will make parking easier. And if the worst does happen, Peugeot has fitted an ‘E-call’ system that can alert authorities and provide them with your location, direction of travel and number. The exact specification of the Australia model will likely differ slightly but we’ll have more exact details and pricing as we get closer to the launch date in early 2022. ⚡ Car ➥ Peugeot ➥ New Peugeot 208 2021: Price, Consumption, PHOTOS, Technical Sheet Soon, the new Peugeot 208 2021 will arrive on the USA automotive market.

From the VW Golf and Renault Megane to the Kia Ceed and Ford Focus, virtually all of its rivals are much newer, but things are looking up for the aging French hatch. A new generation is earmarked for a 2021 release, so we’re trying to predict its radical design approach with our weekly speculative rendering. Our design exercise is more than just a shot in the dark as it takes after the sharp-looking Instinct concept unveiled in 2017, an edgy wagon that wowed the audience at the Geneva Motor Show that year. It was among the first cars from Peugeot to get the swanky LED daytime running lights that extended on the bumper, a design motif that has since been applied to several production models. Gallery: 2021 Peugeot 308 rendering Not only will the design go through massive changes, but so will the underpinnings. The revamped 308 will switch to the EMP2 platform and that will enable the possibility to offer a plug-in hybrid powertrain alongside the conventional gasoline and diesel engines. A fully electric version with the GTi badge could happen down the line, along with a crossover version to slot between the 2008 and 3008. We’ve heard through the grapevine a spicy Peugeot Sport Engineered variant is in the pipeline in the same vein as the 508 PSE. It’s said to adopt an all-wheel-drive layout with the combustion engine driving the front axle and an electric motor powering the rear wheels. This setup would reportedly enable a combined output of more than 300 hp, thus allowing Peugeot to compete with the upcoming VW Golf R. Peugeot's Agenda: The next 308 will once again be sold in five-door hatchback and wagon flavors, with previously available body styles like the three-door hatch and CC hardtop convertible unlikely to return due to weak demand. It’s the new 308. Peugeot has shifted over million 308s in its 15 years on sale, meaning this new one matters for the company’s bottom line. Fortunately, its design department has (yet again) smashed it out of the park with the third generation, the best looking yet. Peugeot’s aim is to be an ‘inventive high-end generalist’ brand, marketing gobbledigook that disguises a range of cars that are as well-engineered and robust as any of its apparently more esteemed rivals. So talk of the 308 mixing it with the likes of the Audi A3, BMW 1 Series and Mercedes A-Class isn’t too far-fetched, alongside C-segment stalwarts such as the Ford Focus and VW Golf. No - Page continues below It’s available as a five-door hatch or SW semi-estate form. Click these blue words if it’s the latter you’re after. IT LOOKS... STRIKING. The 308 represents further evidence of Peugeot’s concerted push both upmarket and its commitment to delivering something palpably different. Few mainstream car companies have executed a more convincing design about-turn than these guys, and the new 308’s dramatic aesthetic keeps the faith with the quasi-concept car look of the 2008 and 3008 crossovers. The front end positions the bold new Peugeot badge in the middle of an equally punchy grille, the long nose doing most of the visual heavy lifting. The wheelbase has grown by 55mm for more room in the rear compartment, and it sits 20mm lower than the previous model. It’s also impressively slippery with a drag coefficient of and Peugeot has pumped up the colour palette. HOW DOES THE CABIN COMPARE? Plenty of noise has been made about Peugeot’s i-Cockpit interior, complete with compact steering wheel and 10-inch digital instrument cluster. The steering wheel still looks like a TIE fighter from the Star Wars universe and sits unusually (and, for some, uncomfortably) low, but don’t let it be a deal breaker until you’ve spent a good amount of time in the driver’s seat – it quickly feels - Page continues belowElsewhere, the central touchscreen - 10 inches as standard - has been slightly reworked with a row of ‘i-Toggle’ shortcut buttons underneath (from Allure trim upwards), which can be customised to the driver’s liking. Peugeot calls it i-Connect Advanced and it looks really smart, contributing to a cabin that is as good as anything else out there. Head over to the interior tab for full details. WHAT'S BEHIND THE BADGE? The range is admirably streamlined for the UK and starts with the PureTech 130 or the Blue HDi 130 diesel, but the big step forward here is the arrival of two plug-in hybrid powertrains, in 180 (177bhp) or 225 (221bhp) forms. Both of these are powered by a petrol engine augmented by a 81kW (109bhp) electric motor and a lithium-ion battery, and use the e-EAT eight-speed automatic transmission. It’s far from a Peugeot hot hatch of times gone by with a clear focus on refinement and efficiency, but that’s not to say fun can’t be had – the steering is nicely weighted and it has decent body control. Head over to the driving tab for more. Range prices begin at £24k for the PureTech 130 in Active Premium trim, with the hybrids starting from £33k. Full details over on the buying the verdict?“Peugeot has rolled the dice on design, inside and out... but on top of that there’s quality of execution”The 308 lands in a class that is absolutely rammed with talent, endless possibilities and where deals can be done even in chip-limited times. But Peugeot has rolled the dice on design, inside and out, and while this might deter the more conservative elements of the customer base, the rest of us should applaud this refreshingly emboldened approach. On top of that there’s quality of execution, lots of tech, and more than competent dynamics – the hybrid 180, in particular, ticks most of the boxes. Not exactly a 205 GTI successor but more fun than you might imagine. It’s been a long time since Peugeot used TV, radio and magazine advertising to crow about the strength of its lion-like models, but those of us who can remember when it did might well see a parallel between its relative commercial tidings of the late 1980s and early 1990s and today. This company is incrementally shifting itself closer towards pseudo-premium brand territory by launching ever more chiselled-looking cars with inviting, materially appealing interiors, powered by modern engines that keep them relevant. In the UK and elsewhere, it has reclaimed much of the market share that it lost to the German brands through the mid-2000s. However, in using compact SUVs and electric offerings to fuel so much of its rise, it has yet to really rejuvenate the spirit that brought us those great-handling hatchbacks and saloons of the 1980s: cars like the 205, 405, 406, 309 and 306. This week, we find out if the company’s all-new mid-sized hatchback, the Peugeot 308, can bring a clearer dynamic flavour of the old Peugeot back. This is the second time that the firm has recycled the 308 model nomenclature for its VW Golf-segment entrant, and it has also recycled and overhauled the old version’s vehicle architecture, while honouring the 308’s relatively diminutive proportions within a class where much larger cars are now more and more common. But even so, this car is no stranger to new technology. It is the first 308 to tout plug-in hybrid powertrains, and will be the first to go all-electric too, in the shape of next year’s e-308. For those who prefer to keep things simple under the bonnet, however, Peugeot is offering both petrol and diesel combustion options – and it’s the more traditional petrol we have opted to test here. Peugeot 308 range at a glance Peugeot’s UK-market line-up for the 308 has combustion-engined models from around £25,000. The price jump from a regular petrol to a plug-in hybrid is a hefty £6500, some or all of which you might be able to recoup through lower costs of ownership. An SW estate costs about £1200 more than a hatchback. Trim levels start with Active Premium, and go up through Allure, Allure Premium, GT and GT Premium. Mid-spec Allure Premium gets you 17in alloy wheels, wireless device charging and smartphone mirroring as standard.

The latest Peugeot 308 will be available with a plug-in hybrid powertrain later in 2022. Available with either 178bhp or 222bhp, each version uses the same petrol engine and electric motor combination and claims up to 37 miles of electric range. Peugeot has also revealed that an all-electric e-308 will join the range in 2023 and promises a range of around 250 miles on a single charge. What are the main rivals to the Peugeot 308? Buyers are spoiled for choice in the compact family hatchback class, so the Peugeot 308 has no shortage or rivals. The toughest of the lot is the Volkswagen Golf, which feels a touch more upmarket, is more composed to drive and has plug-in hybrid options. The Volkswagen shares its architecture and engines with the more spacious and sensible Skoda Octavia and the more stylish and sharper-handling Seat Leon. The new Vauxhall Astra is closely related to the Peugeot but looks more eye-catching, while the agile and engaging Ford Focus is more fun to drive. How much power does the Peugeot 308 have? Peugeot has kept it simple with the Peugeot 308 engine line-up, with the result that both the petrol and diesel have the same power output. The turbocharged three-cylinder petrol and diesel deliver an identical 128bhp, although the latter has more torque, with 221lb ft compared to 170lb ft. The plug-in hybrid units serve-up the most power, with a choice of between 178bhp or 222bhp, the latter capable of completing the 0-62mph sprint in seconds. Unfortunately, there will be no hot 308 GTi version of the current car. What choices of gearbox are there for the Peugeot 308? Surprisingly for a relatively affordable family hatchback the only gearbox option for the Peugeot 308 is an eight-speed automatic. Unlike the old version there’s no manual transmission, even on the entry-level versions. Known as the EAT8, the gearbox is effective enough, but it lacks the speed and smoothness of the best twin-clutch automatics, serving up slightly ponderous gear changes even when trying to drive quickly. Where is the Peugeot 308 built? The current Peugeot 308 only went on sale earlier this year, and so far production is limited to the brand’s factory in Mulhouse, France. However, it’s likely that the car will be built in other plants around the world, as the previous generation machine was built in locations as far flung as Wuhan in China and Gurun in Malaysia. There was even a suggestion that the 308 and closely related Vauxhall Astra could be assembled in the UK. How many generations of Peugeot 308 have there been? Now in its third generation, the Peugeot 308 was one of the first models to benefit from the brand’s decision to stick with the same model number, rather than change it for each all-new version. Previously, Peugeot’s compact family hatch had been known as the 309, which was replaced by the 306 and then the 307. The first 308 arrived in 2007 and was replaced by the second generation machine in 2013.
