I have specifications for the new Peugeot 308 set to be unveiled on the 29th of January 2009. The specs look promising indeed and if Nasim decides to give the 308 some very competitive pricing like it did with the 407, it should have all it needs to be a killer product, the rest depends on the public perception of the brand and the marque’s support network.
| Peugeot 308 VTi specifications | |
|
Engine PSA-BMW Prince 1.6 engine 120hp at 6,000rpm 160Nm @ 4,250rpm 4-speed automatic Exterior |
Interior Active carbon/pollen filter for dual zone air cond 6 speakers MP3 CD player with aux input and remote control Rake and reach adjustable steering Underseat storage drawers for front and rear Adjustable front armrest with storage compartment Safety |
And for the top spec model:
| Peugeot 308 Turbo specifications (on top of VTi specs) | |
|
Engine PSA-BMW Prince 1.6 engine 140hp at 6,000rpm 240Nm @ 4,250rpm 4-speed automatic Safety |
Exterior Automatic electric folding mirrors Body color side protection 5-spoke 17 inch alloy wheels Interior |
Apparently the turbo version only has 140hp and not 150hp as previously expected, because that is how Peugeot tunes the engine for the automatic transmission. The 150hp is only available on the manual stock from the factory.
