308 refers to the Peugeot 308. Below is an introduction to the Peugeot 308: Interior Space: The large panoramic sunroof provides excellent lighting inside the vehicle. The standard trunk space is 430 liters, expandable up to 1,398 liters, with an additional total of up to 42 liters of storage space distributed throughout the cabin. Power Specifications: It offers three gasoline engines and three diesel engines. The entry-level option is a 1.4L VTi engine producing 95 horsepower and 136Nm of torque. The 1.6L VTi engine delivers 120 horsepower and 160Nm of torque, with an average fuel consumption of 6.7L/100km and a top speed of 195km/h. The 1.6THP engine comes in two variants: 150 horsepower and 140 horsepower, both with 240Nm of torque and an average fuel consumption of 7.1L/100km.
The 308 is a compact car from Peugeot, and I often hear people discussing it at car meetups. It comes in several versions including hatchback and station wagon, and it's quite agile to drive, especially suitable for navigating city streets. The first generation launched in 2007 was already very popular, and after updates in 2013 and 2021, more tech features were added, like digital dashboards and smart assistance systems, making driving feel very smooth. I've driven a friend's 308, and the interior is simple yet high-quality, with decent space—even a family of four can fit comfortably. It's selling well in Europe now, mainly because of its high cost-performance ratio—low fuel consumption and affordable maintenance make it a great first car for young people. During daily use, I found its steering light and parking easy, though wind noise is a bit noticeable at high speeds. Overall, the 308 is a reliable companion, whether for commuting or short trips.
