The Peugeot 308 has three engine models: the NFP naturally aspirated engine, the HN03 turbocharged engine, and the 10UF015G02 turbocharged engine. The Peugeot 308 has a body size of 4590mm in length, 1820mm in width, and 1488mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2675mm. In terms of interior, the upgraded 9.7-inch touchscreen system of the Peugeot 308 integrates vehicle connectivity functions and adds a reversing camera. There are currently 13 models of the Peugeot 308 on sale, featuring three displacement options: 1.2T, 1.6L, and 1.6T, with two transmission choices: manual and automatic. The engine delivers a maximum power of 123 kW, a maximum horsepower of 167, and a maximum torque of 245 Nm.
I know the Peugeot 308 offers multiple engine options across different years and markets. The most mainstream is the 1.2L PureTech three-cylinder petrol engine, with common variants like the 1.2T PureTech 130 delivering around 130 horsepower, paired with either a six-speed manual or automatic transmission. There's also the more powerful 1.6L BlueHDi diesel version, outputting over 120 horsepower, ideal for long-distance driving. Newer models may feature upgraded systems for higher efficiency, complying with Euro 6 emission standards. Personally, I find these engines strike a good balance between fuel economy and daily driving power, though regular oil and filter changes are necessary to prevent carbon buildup. Engine codes are usually stamped on the engine cover or traceable via VIN—important to check maintenance records when buying used to ensure no modifications. Overall, the 1.2L version is fuel-efficient but lacks punch in acceleration, while the 1.6L offers stronger thrust at the cost of higher fuel consumption.
