Read Peugeot 308 car reviews and compare Peugeot 308 prices and features at carsales.com.au.Mar 17, 2021 at 11:00pm ET After eight years on the market and several facelifts, the second-generation Peugeot 308 is being retired. Its successor has been well worth the wait, and while beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, we're finding the revamped to be more visually appealing than its aging predecessor. Completely redesigned, the VW Golf rival looks all-new while paying tribute to the past with a retro badge and the "308" logo below the hood. It finally gets the lion's fangs made from LED daytime running lights extending down the front bumper, thus bringing the 308 in line with recent Peugeot products. The front grille takes after recently updated SUVs such as the 3008 and 5008 and is flanked by slim matrix LED headlights for the GT and GT Pack versions. The lesser trim levels have slightly larger headlights and light-emitting diodes for only some of the lighting functions. Gallery: 2021 Peugeot 308 The lion is sharpening up its three claws at the back for the full-LED taillights, joined by a glossy black piece of trim stretching across the tailgate but without incorporating a light strip as seen in many new cars. Olivine Green and Vertigo Blue are the hues featured here, but customers will also be able to get the new 308 in Elixir Red, White Banquise Grey, Pearl White, Black Perla Nera, and Artense (silver). A variety of 16- to 18-inch wheels are available. As with virtually all cars making the transition to the next generation, the 308 is larger than the model it replaces. It now stretches at meters ( inches), making it 11 cm ( in) longer than before, with the wheelbase extended by 55 mm ( in) to 2,675 mm ( in) for additional rear legroom. Contributing to the sleeker shape is a lowered roofline as the height has dropped by 20 mm ( in) to meters ( in), allowing Peugeot to reduce the drag coefficient to Gallery: 2021 Peugeot 308 real images Open the doors and you might be tempted to say you're about to enter the cabin of a concept car. Peugeot is known for its avant-garde dashboards and the overhauled 308 is no exception. The more expensive versions get a 10-inch digital driver's display accompanied by a central touchscreen of the same size that comes as standard. The HVAC controls are easily accessible using a touch-sensitive key, joined by other shortcut buttons positioned below the main screen. You still get some physical toggle switches right below, but as with other brands, Peugeot has integrated most of the functions in the infotainment to clean up the center console. From a wireless charging pad and eight-color LED ambient lighting to a 10-speaker Focal sound system and electrically adjustable seats, the interior has all the goodies you'd expect from a compact hatchback with premium aspirations. There's even a Clean Cabin function that filters polluting gases and particles while showing the air quality on the main display. Even though the 308 has grown in size, the cargo capacity is slightly down, from 420 liters ( cubic feet) to 412 liters ( cu ft). Fold the rear seats and the volume grows to 1,323 liters ( cu ft). Additional cargo compartments have been installed throughout the cabin, providing an extra 34 liters ( cu ft) of storage space. Riding on an evolution of the EMP2 platform, the next-generation Peugeot 308 will be powered by a turbocharged three-cylinder engine offered in two states of tune. The gasoline unit develops 110 and 130 horsepower sent to the wheels via a six-speed manual or an optional eight-speed automatic transmission for the more powerful version. On the diesel side, a four-cylinder is rated at 130 hp and comes with either two or three pedals. At launch, there will also be two plug-in hybrid, front-wheel-drive models with an eight-speed automatic, a battery pack, and an electric motor producing 81 kW in both cases. The difference between the two will be the gasoline engine, developing 150 hp (110 kW) in the lesser configuration and 180 hp (132 kW) for the more powerful version. Combined output stands at 180 hp and 225 hp, respectively, with both offering a WLTP-certified electric range of around 37 miles (60 kilometers). Produced in France at Stellantis' Mulhouse factory, the new Peugeot 308 will go on sale in Europe in the second half of the year. Recent spy shots have revealed a more practical wagon is also planned to take on the Golf Variant. The Wagon Is Not Far Behind:
For now, this makes the new SEAT model's infotainment far superior to that of the Peugeot 308's. But it's the new Leon's speed that makes this car inferior to the new Peugeot 308 overall. Its top speed is 137 mph, though it can reach 0-62 mph in just 7.5 seconds. In terms of driving thrills, Peugeot's latest plug-in hybrid 308 models are far
