The Peugeot 308 is equipped with three types of engines: a low-power version of the 1.2-liter turbocharged engine, a high-power version of the 1.2-liter turbocharged engine, and a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine. All three engines feature aluminum alloy cylinder heads and blocks, with the 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine additionally using a cast iron block. The Peugeot 308 is a compact car under Dongfeng Peugeot, featuring a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a torsion beam non-independent rear suspension. In terms of body dimensions, it measures 4590mm in length, 1820mm in width, and 1488mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2675mm.
As an enthusiast who frequently studies European car technology, I understand the Peugeot 308's engine lineup is quite diverse. The current model is equipped with a 1.2-liter PureTech three-cylinder turbocharged gasoline engine, delivering approximately 130 horsepower. Its lightweight and fuel-efficient design makes it particularly suitable for daily urban driving. There's also a 1.6-liter THP four-cylinder turbocharged version with up to 180 horsepower, offering quick power response for more exhilarating overtaking. Diesel enthusiasts can opt for the 1.5-liter BlueHDi engine, which produces 130 horsepower and boasts extremely high fuel efficiency, allowing for longer journeys on a single tank during highway travel. The newly introduced e-308 all-electric version is completely emission-free, offering around 400 kilometers of range and strong acceleration. These options make the 308 adaptable to different driving habits, balancing performance and environmental friendliness.
