The Peugeot 308 gets a mid life makeover bringing it into line with the rest of the new range.

  • New PEUGEOT 308, 308 SW and 308 GTi by PEUGEOT SPORT incorporate new infotainment and safety technology
  • All-new powertrains boost performance and efficiency
  • Enhanced trim, colours and wheel designs complete revised exterior styling
The New PEUGEOT 308, due to hit UK roads in September, is the most connected and safest yet with a range of technology and styling enhancements for the 2018 model year. 
In a class driven by connectivity, New PEUGEOT 308 customers benefit from a 9.7” capacitive touchscreen which puts the key functions of the interior safely at the fingertips of the driver. From dual zone climate control to 3D Connected Navigation with TomTom Live updates. 
The new infotainment system incorporates Mirror Screen®, comprising Mirrolink®, Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto functionality, allowing the seamless integration of smartphone functions with the interface, ensuring drivers safely access functions as required. 
Driving aids make New PEUGEOT 308 one of the safest cars in its class 
Benefitting from all of the driving aids of the globally acclaimed all-new PEUGEOT 3008 SUV, PEUGEOT’s family hatchback and SW now offer intelligent Speed Limit Recognition, Adaptive Cruise Control, with stop functionality and an Active Blind Spot Monitoring System. 
PEUGEOT’s Speed Limit Recognition offers a new level of intelligence. A windscreen-located camera reads speed limit signs and displays them on the car’s dashboard. Signs for specific vehicles, such as HGVs, are filtered from the information feed. 
The option of Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop function detects vehicles in front of the car and adjusts the speed automatically using the brakes to retain a safe distance. An Active Blind Spot Monitoring System also alerts the driver to the presence of another vehicle in the blind spot to avoid any potential danger. City Park, a smart park assist system completes the safety and convenience offering.
New Euro 6 compliant petrol and diesel engines 
Under the bonnet, the New PEUGEOT 308 offers a new range of engines which are all compliant with strict Euro 6 regulations. The award winning three-cylinder PureTech petrol engine has been upgraded for the new model year, and is coupled with a new six-speed manual gearbox for improved efficiency and control. At-exhaust emission controls on the engine are designed for efficient pollution reduction; high-precision injection control on the 1.2L PureTech 130 Stop&Start engine enhances combustion efficiency: exhaust gases pass through a catalytic converter followed by a passive-regeneration particle filter. 
The New PEUGEOT 308 is also the first PSA Group model to adopt the new 1.5L BlueHDi 130 S&S diesel engine, a four-cylinder unit that also implements at-source and at-exhaust emission control. Tested under competition conditions at the 24-hour Le Mans event, the engine also adds an SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) pollution control system. 
The new eight-speed automatic transmission coupled with the 2.0L BlueHDi 180 Stop&Start completes the new engine range, while the New PEUGEOT 308 GTi by PEUGEOT SPORT is powered by a 270 PS THP Stop&Start unit, enabling 0-62 mph in just 6.0 seconds with CO2 emissions of just 139g/km.
Enhanced exterior and interior trim 
On the inside, new seat fabrics for Active and Allure trims enhance the comfortable interior, and all New 308 models benefit from the PEUGEOT i-Cockpit® layout with its trademark compact steering wheel. On the inside the cabin is further enhanced with the inclusion of a panoramic fixed cielo glass roof on Allure, GT Line and GT versions.
Externally, the PEUGEOT trademark styling details have been revised for a sharper look. The distinctive rear ‘Claw Effect' lights are now standard, while the front and rear bumpers and headlights have been re-shaped to echo the family look of the all-new PEUGEOT 3008 SUV.
Drivers looking to make a real design statement can now specify the PEUGEOT 308 GTi by PEUGEOT SPORT in two-tone Coupe Franche in Magnetic Blue and Black Perla Nera.
David Peel, Managing Director at PEUGEOT UK commented: “The New PEUGEOT 308 is now more competitive than ever. The new car adds to an already impressive technology offering, while new styling and interior options bolster the car’s kerbside appeal and bring it in line with the new PEUGEOT SUV family”.
“PEUGEOT’s commitment to developing class-leading engine technology is also highlighted by the presence of the new versions of the award-winning PureTech and BlueHDi engines. The blend of performance and economy finishes a unique package for the keen driver.”
The New PEUGEOT 308 and 308 SW will be available to order this summer with the first deliveries in September. Customers will be able to configure and buy their new car using PEUGEOT’s Order Online facility.

FLEET WORLD - The All-New Peugeot 3008 takes "Crossover Of The Year" award

  • First Fleet sector award for the All-New 3008 SUV
  • All-New 3008 SUV launched on UK roads only last month
The All-New Peugeot 3008 SUV has been named ‘Crossover of the Year’ in the 2017 Fleet World Honours. The award was presented at the RAC Club in London earlier today. 
This is the latest prize to be presented to the 3008 SUV and the fourth it has received so far this year, having won the ‘Technology Award’ at the 2017 What Car? Car of the Year Awards, as well as being named the Carbuyer ‘Best SUV’ 2017 and overall Carbuyer ‘Car of the Year’ 2017.
“Standing out in the crowded and competitive crossover segment is never easy, but the 3008 SUV is a class act”, commented Alex Grant, Editor of Fleet World, “upmarket materials and PEUGEOT’s intuitive i-Cockpit®, which groups controls around the driver, make it feel a cut above the rest. 
But it’s also great value, with CO2emissions from 103g/km bolstering its corporate appeal.”
A panel of expert judges from across the fleet sector select the winners in the Fleet World Awards.
Commenting on the award, Martin Gurney, Fleet and Used Vehicles Director at PSA Group UK said, “We know how enthusiastic the fleet sector is about the All-New PEUGEOT 3008 SUV from our own conversations. So to win this award so soon after the car has gone on sale in the UK is a great accolade.”

The All-New Peugeot 3008 has arrived in the UK with a mass queue of cars as dealers take cars away.

  • PEUGEOT’s All-New 3008 SUV arrives on UK roads 
  • Dealers attending the PEUGEOT Dealer conference at Arena MK drove away the new model in convoy
  • Latest generation of PEUGEOT’s unique i-Cockpit® available across the All-New 3008 SUV range
PEUGEOT’s All-New 3008 SUV officially hit UK roads as the first 200 models arrived at the PEUGEOT Dealer conference at Arena MK, Milton Keynes.
Dealers at PEUGEOT’s conference drove away the All-New 3008 SUV model in convoy following the close of the event, with the visual spectacle neatly captured by drone footage.
The All-New 3008 SUV received rave reviews following its European launch during the latter half of 2016, and has already established the brand as a key competitor in the compact SUV segment.

Primed and ready for the UK, the All-New 3008 SUV demonstrates the latest in its unique i-Cockpit® interior design, recognised by the automotive industry as one of the most advanced technological packages currently available after it scooped the ‘Technology Award’ at the 2017 What Car? Car of the Year Awards ceremony held earlier this month.
The new i-Cockpit® design places key instrumentation in the driver’s eyeline for a safer and more engaging driving experience, as well as adding to the overall ambience of an already premium interior.
What Car? and Thatcham Research also commended the All- New PEUGEOT 3008 SUV with its Safety Award, owing to its standard autonomous emergency braking (AEB), speed limit recognition and blind spot warning system.

Peugeot announces pricing and specification for the all new 3008 Sports Utility Vehicle.

THE EAGERLY-AWAITED ALL-NEW PEUGEOT 3008 SUV IS AVAILABLE TO ORDER IN DECEMBER AND FEATURES THE LATEST PEUGEOT i-COCKPIT® / DIGITAL INSTRUMENTATION ON ALL MODELS
  • The all-new Peugeot 3008 SUV is available to order from December 2016
  • All versions of the 3008 SUV feature the latest PEUGEOT i-Cockpit®; with compact steering wheel, configurable 12.3" head-up digital instrument panel and 8.0" capacitive touch-screen
  • The 3008 SUV is also specified with a high-level of equipment on Active models from £21,795
The eagerly awaited all-new PEUGEOT 3008 is an important arrival in the SUV C segment market, a rapidly growing category of vehicles throughout the world, and is now available to order in December, with first vehicles arriving in Dealership showrooms across the UK timed for 28th January 2017.
The new PEUGEOT 3008 SUV arrives at a time when customers are ever increasingly expecting differentiation and new experiences, with very strong assets. 
Whether through its revolutionary, latest generation PEUGEOT i-Cockpit®, its remarkably inspired style, or its high-tech equipment, the new PEUGEOT 3008 SUV aims to establish itself immediately as a key player.
The all-new PEUGEOT 3008 SUV is a well-equipped, sophisticated and stylish vehicle that combines efficiency, high-specification, high-level of safety and technological equipment and unique features. 

The UK range starts with a ‘level 2’ specification vehicle (no level 1 in the UK) – so that every model will feature the latest PEUGEOT i-Cockpit®; compact steering wheel, the very latest configurable 12.3" head-up digital instrument panel and an 8.0" capacitive touch-screen.
The range starts from £21,795 with a well-specified ‘Active’ model that has so many standard features, key among which is a host of safety equipment ordinarily only available on top-of-the-range models. These include; AEBS – Automatic Emergency Braking System, adaptive driver and front passenger airbags (includes passenger airbag deactivation function), driver and front passenger side, front and rear curtain airbags, CDS - Dynamic Stability Control and ASR - Electronic Anti-skid System, driver attention alert system, Isofix child seat fittings (x3) in the front passenger and outer rear seats, programmable cruise control and speed limiter, and speed limit recognition and recommendation. As a consequence of these and other safety features, substantially reduced repair costs and a 5-star EuroNCAP safety rating, the all-new 3008 SUV has insurance ratings from just 11E (20A on the previous model).
There is a choice of four trim levels – ‘Active’, ‘Allure’ (expected best-selling version), ‘GT Line’ and the top-of-the-range ‘GT’ and a wide choice of engines is available, with CO2 emissions from just 103g/km.
Petrol engine versions are 130hp and 165hp, with CO2 emissions of 117 to 129g/km, with the 1.2-litre PureTech 3-cylinder turbo engine, voted Engine of the Year in its category for the second-year running and the 1.6L THP. The PureTech 130 is available in 6-speed manual or EAT6 automatic transmission while the 165hp is mated to the 6-speed EAT6 automatic.
Four Diesel engines are available, model dependent, with advanced BlueHDi technology that makes it possible to keep the CO2 emissions low, between 103 and 124g/km, with power ranging between 100, 120,150 and 180hp.
