Obviously, after dongfeng citroen Versailles C5 X officially landed in the domestic market, almost single-handedly, the French brand that was in a precarious situation in the domestic joint venture market was re-stabilized. Behind the success of the Versailles C5 X, it is actually revealed that french brands do not lack the ability to build good cars. As long as you find the correct market positioning, it seems that it will not be too difficult to completely get rid of the dilemma of poor sales. And it's not just the versailles C5 X's success that reflects this. After all, Peugeot, another pillar of the legal PSA brand, took the lead in debuting the new generation of 308 in overseas markets; the wave of attention it set off also reflects this feature.
Of course, the legal system intended to strike iron while it is hot obviously does not want domestic consumers to wait too long. No, a few days ago, netizens (the picture below from @Robinthought) photographed the scene of the new generation of Peugeot 308 appearing for the first time in China. In this way, we can also believe that the time for this new car to officially meet domestic production is not far away. Without further ado, let's also review the style of the new generation of Peugeot 308 through the lens of netizens.
The first thing that must be mentioned is the high-level design of the new generation 308 as always. As can be seen from the picture, the new car has a dot-type blackened grille similar to the borderless treatment under the blessing of the new family design. Combined with the classic "Cheetah Eye" headlamp style, it not only reflects the strong aggression, but also highlights the trend attribute.
The side treatment of the new car, due to the intermittent waist line with a large bulge and the thick C-pillar, makes its overall side face also show the dynamic curve at the same time, but also has a strong sense of strength.
As for the rear of the new car, although it is not a true through taillight, the flat taillight style equipped with a blackened cover can complement the black ribbon in the middle and echo the aggressive posture of the front face. In addition, the combination of exposed bilateral exhaust and the "shark fin" on the roof, which is also blackened, effectively sublimates its overall movement orientation.
Although the netizen did not give a real photo of the interior of the new car, it is not difficult to see that its high-level design is not only reflected in the appearance with reference to overseas real photos. As can be seen from the figure, although the interior of the new car does not have too much soft material support, and the line cutting is also relatively stiff. But because of this, it is enough to divide a stronger layering; and under the background of the full LCD instrument with the head-up display function and the embedded central control screen and the button shift, it shows a strong science fiction painting style.
Finally, let's look at its dynamic performance. The overseas version of the new generation 308 will be available in high/low power 1.2T gasoline three-cylinder engine, 1.5T diesel four-cylinder engine and a hybrid system based on a 1.6T four-cylinder engine. The first model to appear in China is its 1.6T hybrid version. In this way, it basically means that the future domestic version of the model will also be equipped with a 1.6T hybrid system.
So, in the face of the new generation of Peugeot 308 has appeared in China, will you look forward to this new car even more?
