Peugeot 308 Sedan (408 in China), Full details

A few weeks ago appeared on the web, the first two images of the new Peugeot 308 Sedan, (this model will also be marketed in China as 408 Sedan).Not long ago comment that the 308 is a 307 Mercosur remarked, as the 207 Compact of 206. This information is only for the hatchback version of the French model, as we see the sedan version will be different and take the base of the 308 European. If for some reason this fact is not true saying, without problems, my due apologies.

In the picture we see that the work was over when I thought the 307 sedan, as its online and design of its front and rear is more harmonious. Generally speaking style is a fusion of European models of the firm, since it has the front of the 308 (with some differences), a side of 308 with some details of the 407, and a new rear supplement, although it seems to the 206 Sedan.

The 308 will coexist with the 307 in the region, and China. The goal is to compete with the Volkswagen Vento, Ford Focus and the Renault Fluence II. The idea is to first launch the PSA and then the hatchback sedan, as it did with the Citroen C4. But before the arrival of this model will see the 308 CC in Argentina.

A I do not particularly find it distasteful that seen in the image, and if I compare with the 307 sedan, it is clear that the aesthetic evolution to bear fruit. We’ll have to see if the model reaches the Mercosur, is exactly what we see in the pictures.

In addition, Peugeot engineers lowered the ride height by 5m together with additional special aerodynamic package which consists of setting a new lower bumper extensions and side deeper air intakes are optimized under the covers and the tray special adjustments of the wheel over a bipartite rear spoiler. Consequently, the 207 Economique is a resistance coefficient of only 0.274, compared to the rear window of the standard 207 HDi 90 of 0.30.

The French car manufacturer demands that the 207 Economique returns a fuel consumption of just half of 74.2mpg UK (61.8mpg U.S. or 3.8lt/100km) with C02 emissions of 99g/km.The new Peugeot 207 Economique go on sale in the United Kingdom in October and will be available in two levels, and Economique Economique recosting + with prices starting at £ 12.995
