This means that the 308 Hybrid HDi will have a fuel economy figure of 69mpg (3.4L/100km) and a correspondingly low carbon-dioxide emissions level of just 90g/km. According to Auto Motor und Sport, the 1.6L turbodiesel engine will develop 109hp and 260Nm of torque, and will work in conjunction with a 22hp electric motor with peak torque of 130Nm.

The new hybrid model is planned for production and should arrive on the market in 2010 where it’ll be joined by a new flagship sedan with a six-speed transmission.

Razvidno (in pričakovano) je tudi, da bodo 1,6 motorji že novi - plod sodelovanja z BMW-jem. Zdi se tudi, da kmalu pridejo novi avtomatski menjalniki - verjetno so 4-speed automatic gearbox le začasna rešitev. Imel bo tudi Citroenov AFIL sistem za opozarjanje na nehoteno spremembo voznega pasu (BTW - ima to že kakšen Peugeot?).

PEUGEOT 308 – INSIGHT INTO A NEW MODEL

* To be launched in September 2007
* Powered by seven engine options
* Class leading aerodynamics
* 1.6 litre HDi 90 emits only 120 g/km of CO2
* The start of a new "3" series family

Peugeot's first vehicle of the "8" generation, the Peugeot 308 five door hatchback will be launched in the UK in September.

Designed by Peugeot's in-house designers, the Peugeot 308 builds on the successful concept of the Peugeot 307, with its semi-high architecture, large interior space, class leading safety equipment and high standards of road holding.

The stylish design not only looks good but contributes to reducing fuel consumption and emissions, due to its class leading aerodynamics – Cx of 0.29 – enabling the 1.6 litre HDi 90 to emit only 120 g/km of CO2.

The Peugeot 308 will be available with 10 powerplant options:

Petrol engines *VTi – Variable valve lift and Timing and injection

* 1.4 litre VTi* 95 bhp 5-speed manual gearbox
* 1.6 litre VTi* 120 bhp 5-speed manual gearbox
* 1.6 litre VTi* 120 bhp 4-speed automatic gearbox
* 1.6 litre THP 150 bhp 5-speed manual gearbox
* 1.6 litre THP 140 bhp 4-speed automatic gearbox

HDi Diesel engines

* 1.6 litre HDi 90 bhp 5-speed manual gearbox
* 1.6 litre HDi 110 bhp 5-speed manual gearbox
* 1.6 litre HDi 110 bhp 6-speed controlled manual gearbox
* 2.0 litre HDi 136 bhp 6-speed manual gearbox
* 2.0 litre HDi 136 bhp 6-speed automatic gearbox

(*15 inch wheels)

Safety is another strength of the new Peugeot 308, with seven airbags fitted as standard; even rear side airbags will be available as an option on 5 door models. Peugeot's lane departure warning system (LDWS) and bi-xenon directional headlamps will also be available.

The increased size compared to the 307 results in greater interior space and carrying capacity. The boot of the 308 is cleverly laid out to maximise the space which, with the parcel shelf in place provides 430 litres, increasing to 1,398 litres with the seats folded.

The Peugeot 308 will evolve into a number of different body shapes over the coming months and years, and will see a "BioFlex" petrol model introduced. It could also one day benefit from Peugeot's HDi Hybrid technology.

The Peugeot 308 will go on sale in the UK in September 2007; price and specification details will be announced nearer the launch date.

Along with the all-new 308 SW, this year’s Geneva Motor Show will also form the stage for Peugeot to unveil the new 308 GT THP 175. This new top of the range model is powered by the 1.6 litre turbo-charged THP 175 HP petrol engine, previously found in the 207 GTi THP 175. It is also fitted with a new 6-speed manual gearbox.

The same powertrain is also used in the MINI Cooper S as the 1.6-liter turbo engine has been designed in co-operation with the BMW Group. According to Peugeot, the sporty 308 accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 8.3 sec while it achieves a top speed of 140 mph – 225 km/h.

Apart from the new powertrain, the 308 GT also benefits from a number of cosmetic changes that include the lower front bumper panel that has a unique appearance, a rear spoiler and a reduced overall ride height. Inside, the interior gains an aluminium gear knob and foot pedals and a new steering wheel design. The 308 GT will be available across Europe this spring.
