Nov 05, 2020 at 10:35am ET The current-generation Peugeot 308 is due for a significant refresh. It first arrived back in 2013, and spy photos from the last few months have shown that its development is coming along nicely, though we haven’t seen much of it. A new batch shows the hatchback in a new black plastic wrap, as opposed to the swirly camouflaged it’s been spotted in, revealing more of the car’s design underneath. It appears the photos show a production-ready example with a silver exterior, the wrap hiding the finer details of the model’s overall design. Its new look is paired with the company’s EMP2 platform, increasing both passenger and cargo space. The wrap also reveals a bit of the design, providing a fuller look at the taillights, which appear to sit above a stylized rear bumper. At the front, we can see the bumper’s design hiding underneath, showing a fascia that looks similar to that of the Peugeot 508 with the vertical daytime running lights.

Rumor has it that the model will feature all-wheel drive and a hybrid powertrain, just like the 508 PSE. The hot hatch could produce around 300 horsepower (223 kilowatts).

Peugeot isn’t a well-known brand in the US, but that’s likely to change as the company still plans for its US return in 2023 and its partnership with FCA. We don’t know if Peugeot’s US plans include the 308 hatchback at a time when consumers would love the company’s crossovers and SUVs, though we’d be happy to see it rebadged under an FCA brand like Dodge.

The 308 is already available as a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) but as we shift into the all-electric era, Peugeot has added EV versions of the model which will be available in 2023. In doing so, Peugeot will become the first European
May 15, 2020 at 4:25am ET Having been around since 2013, the Peugeot 308 is one of the oldest cars sold in Europe’s hugely challenging compact hatchback segment. 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.

After nearly all its rivals in the compact hatchback segment have been electrified, the Peugeot 308 is finally jumping on the hybrid bandwagon. The third-generation model is looking to make up for the lost time by being offered in not one, but two PHEV configurations, right from the get-go. Both come strictly with a front-wheel-drive layout, an eight-speed automatic transmission, an electric motor rated at 81 kilowatts, and a lithium-ion battery pack with a capacity of main difference between the two plug-in hybrids has to do with the gasoline engine, which develops either 150 hp (110 kW) or 180 hp (132 kW). The former enables the new Peugeot 308 Hybrid to offer a combined output of 180 hp while the latter ups the power ante to 225 hp. In both instances, the stylish hatchback offers a pure electric range of 60 kilometers (37 miles) according to the WLTP has developed its VW Golf competitor to support a charging power of 102 kW and to offer two types of on-board chargers, a standard kW single-phase charger and an optional kW single-phase charger. Using a wallbox and the optional charger, it’s going to take 1 hour and 55 minutes to fully recharge the battery, while a traditional socket with the standard charger will require 7 hours and 5 minutes for a complete more to the new 308 than its electrified powertrains as Peugeot will sell the swanky hatch with gasoline and diesel engines as well. We’re hearing through the grapevine a range-topping variant will follow, complete with nearly 300 horsepower and all-wheel drive thanks to an upgraded plug-in hybrid system already used in other Stellantis products sold in completely revamped design allows the Peugeot 308 to stand out in a crowded segment while offering high-end features varying from matrix LED headlights to a pair of 10-inch screens inside. There’s also a separate touch panel below with shortcuts to various often-used functions, including the climate settings. LED ambient lighting, 10-way electrically adjustable front seats, a wireless charging pad, interior air filter, a Focal sound system with 10 speakers, and a subwoofer round off the list of 308 ushers in Peugeot’s retro-flavored new lion badge and comes along with the model designation located just below the hood as a nod to the past. It’s 11 centimeters ( inches) longer than its predecessor and the wheelbase has been stretched by centimeters ( inches) for additional rear legroom, while the roof has been lowered by 20 millimeters ( inches) to enable a sleeker profile. The reshaped body has also paid dividends in terms of aerodynamic efficiency, now at 2021 Peugeot 308 certainly has a lot going for it: attractive design, efficient plug-in hybrid powertrains, cutting-edge interior, and all the tech you could ever want from a C-segment hatchback. The only downside is the French brand has abandoned plans for a North American return for the time being, meaning the 308 won’t hit stateside anytime soon, if at Europe will get the car from the second half of 2021 shortly after it will enter production in France at Peugeot’s Mulhouse plant. The hatchback will be the first to hit the market, with a wagon likely arriving by the end of the year or early Peugeot
