If you are one of the fan-made peugeot car, then type your new car peugeot products this can you try for you have, for that we will try to give you a review of the results of the test drive the peugeot 308. May be useful for you
The premium medium hatchback segment of
Indonesia's car market gets another contender, as Peugeot launched its
latest 308. This French hatch claims to offer a number of excellence,
including a contemporary and dynamic design, and the new EP6CDT
1.6-litre engine.
France's
image of fashion also heavily features itself through the 308's
exterior. Extensively curvy and sparsely bold lines, yet elegant overall
On
that last point, hearing of its forced induction (turbocharged) engine
alone was enough to fire up our enthusiasm to immediately get behind the
wheel of this Rp.360 million pug (off-the-road Jakarta.)
Exterior
The
bumper and grille design refreshments have provided the 308 with a more
muscular face, giving this hatch the right appeal for the urban crowd
who may be looking for a vehicle of bold and expressive design.
This
impression is further enforced by its posterior with a rear bumper
design that also comes across as muscular, as well as by the sporty
design of its rear diffuser, which also sports a different paint colour
and bits of chrome accents.
Interior
Space will be the least of your problems, if any, as the Peugeot 308's dimensions are generous, making the cabin satisfactorily roomy.
Full sized adults such as this test driver here who measures some 173cm/63kg are bound to enjoy sufficient head and legroom upfront while rear occupants may find it a bit of a squeeze between shoulders when fitted with three at the back.
The minimalist and simple dashboard design on the 308 provides the impression of an easy and comfortable car to drive
The
simple and clean dashboard design also supports the fact that this car
is oriented towards drivers who seek a dynamic driving feel.
We fathomed why this French beauty didn't have electric seats as standard, though It's still a good thing that the designers included features such as lumbar support and tilt/telescopic steering.
Perhaps, in addition to lowering the production cost per unit for a better offering price, the interior is focused more towards the drive, as oppose to the quantity of sophisticated features, such as offering the usual electric seats or steering wheel audio controls.
One part of the interior do become a charm of its own on the New Peugeot 308, namely the new design of its panoramic roof, which now stretches from the windshield almost to the C-pillar.
The panoramic roof is also equipped with electric shutter blind, thus to lose transparency, all you need to do is flip a switch located on the centre console (behind the transmission lever).

Get close to nature anytime during your drive with a panoramic roof, or simply flip a switch to shut

The round AC blower design heightens the 308's sporty impression
Overall, the 308 should make the list if you are in the market for this particular type of car. Even more if a consumer is uniquely searching for a non-German European medium hatchback. Wow, we've really narrowed it down, didn't we?
Performance
Clearly the manufacturer's data of 240Nm at 1,400rpm maximum torque is not just a claim. Generous amount of torque is sent to the front wheels from as low as 1,500rpm, giving this hatch the right amount of go to match its show.
Our test drive car may sport a 'tame' bianca white paintjob, but it's a 'beast' nonetheless. While the turbocharger reaffirms the impression that the New Peugeot 308 is the right 'present' for all true driver enthusiasts who value driving experience, its massive torque should come in handy in the stop-and-go nature of urban life.
The 308's qualities outside the urban setting were also explored. For this, we headed to the Jagorawi toll road in the direction of Bogor. Though sporting front-wheel drive, CarMall.com didn't notice any symptoms of understeering during cornerings, thanks to its medium sporty suspension setting.
Similarly on straight roads, the hatchback's 156hp/5,800rpm output should be satisfying enough for speedgoers in its engine class. If that doesn't describe how lively the 308 can be, don't be surprised if you suddenly find yourself already driving 170km/h. In addition to a quiet cabin, the power delivery via its six-speed automatic transmission is smooth.
Furthermore, you can also shift the transmission lever to the left for some manumatic sensation, though leaving the gearbox to its own devices should already be good enough for your daily needs.
