UPDATE: Hi-res photos – and initial details – of the new Peugeot 308 can be found here.
The first images of the second-generation Peugeot 308 have surfaced. The hatch is expected to make its public debut in Frankfurt later this year, and as far as naming convention goes will retain the 308 name – following the marque’s new numbering system, where the final digits are now fixed – instead of moving on to become the 309.
No tech details as yet on the car, but in terms of engines shouldn’t veer away from that being offered right now, as in the three-cylinder 1.2 right up to the familiar 1.6 THP petrol and HDi diesel mills. More as we get closer to Frankfurt, undoubtedly, but for now, what do you think of the new lines?

Hmmm, quite clean yet conservative design
Will need some time to grow on many of us I think
it’s Golf with a french twist…a sexier golf…
golf…still a golf
PUGLY ….
PUG is still ugly
Of coz Golf is still a golf, kimchi is still a kimchi that’s all. but this thing looks like a Golf mix with the CT200… i mean directly copy!
Gone is the big giant smiling head, Hurray!! But it does look more -oh, pug fans are going to kill me- plain than the outgoing model. Interior looks like a quality French product, which is good! félicitation on the interior.
a lot of people say the giant smiling face was ugly. now everyone is copying it.
it’s not just the face… they got rid of the inflated rear too… vw golf beware…
This car is a beautiful and sexy car! The Dashboard is extremely nice, i am impress with the design ! Although it is a small car ( not suitable for family car) but it is very nice car for second car! and the price is less then Rm 90K which is affordable !
You are mistaken. This is a family car. A VW Golf class in size.
Maybe you were referring to the 208 which is smaller.
Yup, he’s most probably mistaken it with the 208.
Yup, this is golf size…its a family car
The 208 is already near 90k for the standard version. So, what makes you think the new 308 will be below 90k?
Mind define your ideology of “family car” ?
I have a wife and a kid. So.. I cant have this for my family?
I’m not sure if I like it, but as of now, the smaller 208 is much better looking. Heck, even the 301 looked better too.
Simple but elegant.
Better looking compare than current 308.
Hope they had solved their engine issues..
I kinda dislike the front, doesn’t looks like a Peugeot at all without the happy face. Just looks like a another Kia, Kia Ceed maybe. But interior is cool. I prefer current 308 front much more
Simple n beautiful.. much better looking than Golf. If they maintained the old price, and fix the freaking small glovebox size for right hand drive model, then it will be a success.
They just need to stop using that turbo 1.6 and find a better alternative. Heck, why not just sell the diesel here instead?
at one glance. Reminds me of Golf MK6
Very golf-esque
all europeans small family car are benchmarked against the golf
Weird tachometer direction.
reminds me of Aston Martins
interior looks really nice.exterior is a bit so so.current 308 more fierce!
French Golf and A Class….but looking very nice and solid!!!
Look better than current ‘katak’ look!!
It looks much more conservative now and much cleaner, which I like. I think it looks more interesting than the Golf. Pug should make a hotter version of it as well. That would certainly add the 308 sentiment just like the 208 GTi. Cant wait for the official release.
the rear looks a bit like the old Spectra 5.
Please offer the stick shifter version to the local market too.
is it just me or it somewhat reminds you of merc’s design language…
A bit “soft” and a bigger version of the 208. Head looks like the 508….
Well, I’m hoping to see the sportier version
First impression : Design by China’s Chinese?
look nice,well packaged,good safety but reliability not..
Manual? No thanks
Why, scared to use your left hand and leg?
nice design. much much better than vw golf :)
Yet…
Proton to design a simple car like this
Seems like Peugeot lost their design direction with this new 308. The 508 is big but elegant, However the 308 side elevation looks too conventional to evoke any excitement…
their new design direction probably tells them to make it more conservative and less outstanding, more conventional and more acceptable. this will result in fewer polarising opinions and probably appeal to a wider target market which should theoretically sell more as well. well, toyota and vw can’t be wrong with the numbers they sell right?
UGLY!!! in every part of design … 100 step behind by peugeot Asia!!!
