When you choose a Peugeot, you’re buying more than an elegant piece of design or a superb piece of engineering, you’re buying a vision

When you choose a Peugeot, you’re buying more than an elegant piece of design or a superb piece of engineering, you’re buying a vision – our dream of a marque that embodies your desires and meets your expectations in every way. A vehicle that is the very personification of the Peugeot spirit.

Even at a standstill, the 308 looks poised, ready for action.

Its perfect balance of height and length, combined with a commanding, wide wheelbase give it a purposeful stance.

The taut body line running the length of its side from the rear shoulder to the front wheel arches gives it a feeling of momentum. The pronounced, flat wheel arches and the large wheels hint at the dynamic performance to come.

While from the rear, the wrap-around window and muscular sports bumper with chrome highlights* simply confirm its intentions.

If you like what you see on the surface of the 308, you’ll be even more impressed when you discover what lies beneath.

Control central
The 308’s ergonomically designed dashboard puts every control you could need close to hand. Want to skip a few tracks on the CD? Or maybe find a new restaurant via the Satellite Navigation system? How about setting a different temperature for you and your front seat passenger via the ingenious dual zone air-conditioning system? You’ll find all the controls neatly clustered together in the thoughtfully laid out console.

Powerful connections
Slide into the stylish driver’s seat and you’ll discover everything is displayed for maximum effect. The four chrome ringed dials are easy to glimpse, as is the central display. The aluminium gearknob is designed to feel comfortable in the palm of your hand, and the trim around the gearstick gaiter echoes the V-shaped motif found throughout the cabin, including on the front courtesy light and the top of the seat cushions.

Destination Perfection
When we designed the interior of the 308, we wanted it to provide truly superior comfort. So one of our top priorities was to make sure that everyone had plenty of space to stretch out.

Part of our solution was to angle the dashboard by 30 degrees, freeing up space around the driver’s and front seat passenger’s knees. We also gave them comfortable yet slim-backed sports seats, which created a few valuable extra inches of leg room for the rear passengers.

But we didn’t stop at giving the 308 more cabin space. To boost comfort levels even higher, we raised the back seats – treating occupants to improved visibility. And just to make the car feel really spacious and airy we designed in a huge panoramic rear window.

More clever thinking went into ensuring that the interior of the 308 was a really calm place to be. We built in high levels of sound insulation. We fitted a photosensitive rear-view mirror* to prevent the driver from being dazzled by the car behind. We even added a fragrance dispenser* so that you can fill the cabin with your favourite, mind-soothing scent.*

The little things were big priorities too. Like making sure that there were plenty of places to stow away all your family’s bits and pieces, including a compartment in the parcel shelf* that can be accessed from the cabin or the boot, another one in the centre armrest that’s big enough to hold six CDs, plus an air-conditioned glovebox.

We didn’t want you to be left in the dark when light levels started to fall either. That’s why you’ll find courtesy lights in the front and centre of the roof, as well as in the boot.

So, did we succeed in making the 308 one of the most comfortable places to be on the road? Well, we can honestly say we think you’ll be impressed.

  • 308 Touring.

    The spacious new 308 Touring is versatile in more ways than one.

    Not only is it more powerful than its predecessors, it’s also stronger, lower and wider with the ability to accommodate up to seven passengers*. The fact that you can rearrange the rear seating into over 50 different seating configurations means it fits perfectly with any lifestyle.

    So revolutionary is the Touring's modular interior that it won an Australian International Design Award (Automotive & Transport category) in 2009.

    The body has also been designed to reflect the car’s versatility, by combining a particularly expressive and dynamic design at the front with an original and curvaceous shape at the rear. A sloping design adds elegance whilst flowing lines reinforce the impression of space and on-board comfort.

    Beyond that, the 308 Touring boasts some very practical features such as a panoramic glass roof and wrap-around rear windscreen which all aim to increase natural light and enhance your driving experience.

    The 308 Touring can be configured to match the the XS or XSE features.

    Additional Touring Features include:
  • Panoramic glass roof
  • Three independent and interchangeable 2nd row seats
  • Individually reclining and sliding 2nd row seats
  • Individually folding and removable 2nd row seats
  • Two individually folding and removable 3rd row seats (optional)
