New Peugeot 308 SW - Pricing and specification announced
The new 308 SW is now available to order with the announcement of full pricing and specifications, in readiness for the UK launch and first customer deliveries from 19th June 2014.
Peugeot’s heritage in C-segment estate cars is long and proud. Since the arrival of the 304 in 1969, every generation of the 300 series has included a successful estate variant. The proportion of estates in the European C-segment accounts for around 10% of the sector. Customers for estates are younger, more dynamic and more male than in general for the C segment. They are represented by working couples, with or without children, who use their vehicle intensively and cover the highest mileage in the segment. They require considerable versatility, without having to make sacrifices in comfort, driving enjoyment and styling of their vehicle.
The pricing and specification of the new 308 SW builds on the product values that enabled the 308 to be voted the 2014 ‘European car of the Year’: a stylish design, with an impressive driving experience, a high specification, practical functionality, outstanding load space and efficient, low CO2 engines.
The Peugeot 308 SW meets these expectations by concentrating on the basic requirements for this segment in four key areas – design, efficiency / functionality, driving experience and quality.
From launch the new 308 SW will be available with three petrol and five HDi diesel engines, all offering class-leading fuel economy and low CO2 emissions. The new 308 is the first Peugeot car to benefit from an innovative three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine - the PureTech 1.2-litre e-THP with a choice of 110 or 130bhp. Also available will be BlueHDi models, including a segment-leading engine with emissions of just 82g/km in the Hatchback and 85g/km in the SW, plus next generation six-speed automatic gearboxes. Together they will ensure the all-new Peugeot 308 has the widest possible range of high performance and economical engines to suit every taste and budget.
Every car in the New 308 range promises improved levels of dynamic ride and handling quality. With new low-weight suspension components combined with the advantages from the new EMP2 chassis, the new 308 provides drivers with a benchmark in handling, agility, comfort and road holding.
The new Peugeot 308 SW offers a compelling specification with prices that start from £16,845.
