A long time ago, Peugeot has entered the domestic production, but can not withstand the test of the domestic market, and finally withdrew from the Chinese market. Later, it was introduced again by Dongfeng Group, forming the Dongfeng Peugeot that we are familiar with today. Among them, the 308 (307) model is also the top pillar of brand sales, but unfortunately, it is currently discontinued.
However, we got the news from related sources that the Peugeot 308 will return in another form, the new car or the name 308 Cross. The overall body has been redesigned to have a strong sense of visual impact. At the same time, the new car is expected to join the plug-in hybrid version to meet the needs of new energy consumers. It is reported that the new car is expected to be officially unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show in October this year.
Because of the spy photos we currently get, basically covered by camouflage, but it is not difficult to find that the front face of the new car is fully enclosed design, and the lower part has added a trapezoidal grille, as for the Peugeot family's latest fangs headlights, whether it has been retained, it is difficult to distinguish from the spy photos.
On the side of the body, the biggest highlight is, of course, the more inclined C-pillar, which creates a slippery back shape. In addition, from the spy photos, the minimum ground clearance of the body is high, which is very in line with the positioning of Cross.
In terms of interior, the steering wheel looks more like the discontinued 308 counterpart than the latest steering wheel of the family, which is straight on the upper and lower sides, and the sense of movement is slightly less.
In terms of power, the new car is expected to join the plug-in hybrid model, equipped with a 1.6T engine and a comprehensive system power of 132kW.
I believe that the small partners who pay attention to this model may not care what kind of powertrain it is, but only care about whether it is originally introduced. After all, the previous 508 is a good example, and the cancellation of various designs has led to the scorn of domestic French car fans. If this 308 Cross can be introduced in the original version, I believe it is a blessing for domestic car fans.
