Dynamics and emotions are present than ever in the 308 genes, in particular through the more confident look for new xenon headlights with titanium-colored mask and GTi hatchback in its exclusive finish.
Besides the micro-hybrid technology, all factors affecting the level of CO2 emissions have been optimized:
weight loss of 25 kg on average per car;
From 16 "very low rolling resistance tires,
optimization of next generation engines (VTi, THP HDi Euro 5);
Cx of 0.28 for models with low fuel consumption - a record for the segment.
Fuel sets the standard:
98 g / km CO2 for the saloon 308 1.6 liter E-112 hp HDi FAP BMP6 - A record in the segment
available power train, consisting of 4 petrol engines of 98 hp to 200 hp for the exclusive version GTi 4 and diesel engines from 92 hp to 163 hp, has also been optimized for a wide range of engines to ensure the effectiveness of environment. Accordingly, the basic version - the 308 saloon 1.6 l HDi 92 hp with a manual gearbox FAP - is well placed, with reduced CO2 emissions to just 110 g / km.

The design of the new Peugeot 308 has new style subtle signs of Peugeot. Although the dimensions have not changed, new lines of marrying as closely as possible the mechanical assembly of the car to accentuate the competitive balance, while appearing before a fresh look at the "floating" front grille design. A greater emphasis on continuous surfaces mark a desire to present an elegant and luxurious. Protection cap core, available in black lacquer, became thinner to give more importance to the pure metal.

CO2 reduction
The reduction of CO2 emissions has been one of the main objectives of this project. This led to a search of environmental efficiency at all levels. All factors that influence fuel consumption has been optimized:
reduced weight of 25 kg on average per car;
From 16 "very low rolling resistance tires,
using an oil pump tested 1.6-liter HDi;
optimizing the alternator on the engine;
better management control (pump)
Cx of 0.28 for low-power versions - a record in the segment;
and Micro-Hybrid HDi technology;
98 g / km of CO2-1, 6-liter 112 bhp HDi FAP BMP6 version - a record for the segment
micro-hybrid technology e-HDi
When 508, the new Peugeot 308 is the second coach Mark innovative use of Micro-Hybrid HDi technology and next-generation Stop & Start.
This innovation is based on a combination of a 1.6-liter HDi diesel Euro 5 and a reversible alternator to ensure the Stop & Start. Referring to a control system of the generator (voltage control) to recover energy during deceleration and hybrid batteries to store and deliver extra energy to start (e-reminder), the HDi unit allows:
a 15% reduction in fuel consumption in urban traffic
a 5 g / km CO2 for the reduction of eligible fuel cycle;
reboot 40% faster (400 ms) compared to the more Stop & Start-ups;
activation of the engine block-off of 20 km / h speed manual (8 km / h electronicallycontrolled transmission);
greater driveability and Stop & Start (quiet, no vibration).
The second-generation reversible generator used here has a power of 2.2 kW and provides up to 600,000 renewed. the Stop & Start dog can be disabled by the driver, if you prefer using a button on the dashboard.
To apply this technology on a large scale, the new Peugeot 308 HDi offers e-technologies with a "base" engine, 1.6 liter HDi FAP 112 bhp, which can be coupled with two gearboxes (manual or electronicallycontrolled). This is a first as far as e-HDi technology was only available with electronic gearbox BVMP6 controlled. This new offering maximizes the pleasure of driving by increasing the driving phases "in silence". Coupled with a manual transmission, engine cut is possible from a speed of 20 km / h.
A CO MPREHENSIVE latest generation of engines MISCELLANEOUS
Reduce CO2 emissions as much as possible, 308 new exceptionally well equipped with engines very latestgeneration for petrol (THP or THP) engines and diesel versions (HDi new Euro 5-engines).
At the fair, 8 engines available and the different possible combinations of gearbox (manual or automatic, electronically controlled), giving each customer to find the version that best suits them.

Security features of the CO UNTS
Whether in terms of safety primary, secondary or tertiary, the new 308 is placed on the highest level.
Firstly, the excellent stiffness of the structure for optimum operation of the wheels and suspension provide a high level of primary safety. With regard to passive safety, the structure itself is strictly designed to withstand even the most serious consequences, including through a channel triple effect on the forehead. The use of high strength steel and "multilayer" reinforcements in specific areas has increased the safety of residents, while reducing the total weight of the car. Besides the performance of the structure, are effective means of restraint suggested:
up to eight airbags, a saloon and SW;
DC up to 6 airbags, including head vs 2 airbags;
