This car can be said to be very important for Dongfeng Peugeot, a new platform, a new model, a new design, after many years of once again the introduction of global models, Peugeot in the country can not turn over, it is likely to be counting on this car.

In terms of power, it is expected to use the two engines of 1.2T and 1.6T, matching the dual-clutch transmission. And it is likely that a plug-in hybrid version of the model will be introduced. As for why Dongfeng Peugeot chose not to introduce the new hatchback 308 into China, but chose the P54 crossover SUV model, I think it is mainly because the price of the previous generation 308 is too high, resulting in sales that are too crotch-pulling, so it gave up the idea of introducing this generation of 308.
