2012 Peugeot HYbrid4 Review

In launching this first diesel in the world of full hybrid vehicle - the 3008 Hybrid 4 - Peugeot will write a new chapter in the history of motorsport. The combination of a fuel consumption of 2.0 liters 163 bhp HDi diesel engine and an electric motor 37 hp is the optimal combination for a hybrid car. Unlike previous hybrid vehicles, which have chosen to use a smaller fuel-efficient gasoline engine that provides superior diesel engine 3008 HYbrid4 Drive combined cycle fuel consumption of 99 g / km CO2 emissions and 74.4mpg.

The use of hybrid diesel technology also provides several other advantages:

Effective in combination with excellent machinability

Freedom and ease of use with the ability to choose four different operating modes: ZEV (Zero Emission Vehicle) four wheel drive, automatic and Sports

Quiet operation, when running in electric mode

Peace of mind safety features inherent in a four-wheel drive

CO2 emissions ecological 99g/km

HYbrid4 the 3008 is designed to please the demanding customers technophiles looking for a rewarding and original vehicle.

In terms of performance, the 3008 HYbrid4 benefits of the combined power of the HDi diesel engine and an electric motor during acceleration and when an immediate increase in power is required (the "momentum"). The combined power of 200 hp, 163 hp 2.0-liter HDi FAP diesel and 37 hp electric motor. A maximum torque of 500 Nm is available, breaking with 300 Nm at the front of the HDi diesel engine and 200 Nm at the rear generated by the electric motor.

You can manage all the available performance control switch mounted on the center console allows the driver to choose between four different modes of operation.

"Auto" mode: the entire system is controlled automatically, including the HDi diesel engine performance and an electric motor. This provides an optimum driving for fuel economy and dynamic performance.

"ZEV" mode (Zero Emission Vehicle) provides access to a full electric mode. Activation of the HDi diesel engine is scheduled to coincide with more sustained acceleration only. This requires high-voltage batteries to charge enough and it becomes the vehicle in an excellent performance around the city "because of the absence of noise and emissions.

four-wheel drive mode (4WD) calls on the two power sources work together as much as possible, the rear wheels driven by electric motor and the front wheel is the HDi diesel engine. It offers peace of mind, security, better management and emphasizes the dynamic character of the car. At low speeds, allows all-terrain "features similar to an SUV. The driver is no longer subject to the possibility of a track or a slick ride on snow ski uphill

"Sport" mode facilitates speed changes more quickly at higher speeds than normal. In this mode, the term "controlled force" in its own diesel engine clutch with the electric motor provides more dynamic performance, optimally distributed and transmitted to the road by four wheel drive at a level of stability characteristics and handling that will appeal to lovers of motorsports.

With the Peugeot 3008 is equipped with technology HYbrid4, the goal is to appeal to customers who expect the pleasure of both environmental and technological sophistication, and also a real driving.

In fact, as the benefits of the sharp reduction in fuel consumption, will be the performance level of this technology to delight the most demanding customers in the form of traction, responsiveness, handling, peace of mind regardless of road conditions and the opportunity to enjoy quiet operation in the city in all-electric mode.

Peugeot HYbrid4 technology combines the best technology and experience: the HDi diesel engine, an electric car the attention of the second generation Stop & Start, manual transmission, electronically controlled fuel.

The "hybrid" system combines a simple propulsion HDi diesel engine and an electric motor. With their outstanding performance, diesel HDi thermodynamically more efficient than a gasoline engine and offers a 30% reduction in fuel consumption. Obviously, the HDi diesel engine is the best choice of engines.

For the "electric" component, Peugeot has a historical experience in the field of electric vehicles. To date, 106 electric, sold between 1995 and 2003, remains the world's best selling zero emission cars (for a total of almost 10,000 vehicles were produced). At the end of 2010, Peugeot will be the first to launch a new generation of 100% electric vehicles in Europe, Peugeot i0n.

The pursuit of common sense to use the best available components and expertise, it was natural to use Peugeot gearbox, electronically controlled 6-speed manual, not only for the capacity of motor control, but also for its ability to optimize fuel consumption. To further improve the performance of a stop & start the second generation is also used.

The choice of the hybrid architecture was also guided by the quest for optimum efficiency and consistency. Hybrid technology uses two power lines that can operate alternately or simultaneously:

HDi diesel engine is the most optimal window for longer trips out of town. The diesel engine is still the most powerful and versatile power the vehicle

The electric motor takes over the HDi diesel engine in the phases of the requirements of lower power, such as pulling away, driving at low speed or deceleration (energy recovery). These are precisely the elements that characterize urban driving

Part of the HDi diesel engine and electric motor automatically, thanks to a Stop & Start system, which puts the HDi diesel engine in standby mode and restarts when conditions warrant (the accelerator pedal operation, the load low battery, etc ...).

Two sources of energy to complement each other in certain driving conditions ("promote" the effect of high acceleration, or when overtaking another vehicle, for example). HYbrid4 performance is directly comparable from HDi diesel engine with a much better position to respond to a good support for a real breakthrough in terms of reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions (combined cycle performance of about 35% less similar) .

electric motor and ancillary equipment (inverters, converters, etc.) are placed behind the vehicle. This offers several advantages, not only in the interests of customers and also helps to reduce costs and optimize the production process.

The original design of the system HYbrid4 allows four-wheel drive. The HDi diesel engine drives the front wheels while the electric motor (in the rear sprocket) drives the rear wheels.

Everything is controlled electronically ("wired"), and no mechanical connection between the front and rear transmissions. This system of many advantages of "traditional" mechanics.

It does not affect the layout and structural design of the cab

4x4 and no conflict with the environmental conditions

Installing the rear, and all parts of the 'electronic components, are still technical and economic benefits.

First, it avoids the need for a major overhaul of the engine compartment of the vehicle, while improving weight distribution. It also leaves intact the possibility of using a range of engines of different capacities, for possible introduction in the future.

Second, this architecture is achieved through the use of a single compact module that contains the rear electric motor, fittings and the rear axle and suspension.

The rear module costs therefore reduced because the technical feasibility of implementing the same technology HYbrid4 in different market segments, in different forms of body parts, etc ... whatever the type of engine motor internal combustion machinery used.

A real revolution in terms of reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions while improving dynamic performance levels, offering four-wheel drive and an electric-only mode, HYbrid4 technology brings a number of advantages without compromise.

In addition, driveability, safety and eco-efficiency of the system is based on the simple choice, reasonable and consistent technology.

The 3008 was chosen as the first application of this innovative technology.

2.0 l HDi 163 bhp diesel engine

With a capacity of 1997 cc, developing the Euro 5 engine with a maximum power of 163 hp at 3,750 rpm and maximum torque of 300Nm at 1580 rpm. To achieve this level of performance it uses latest generation Peugeot ECCS (Extreme Conventional internal combustion engines System) design of the combustion chamber, a variable geometry turbocharger low inertia, high-pressure injection pump provides a pressure up to 2000 bar and injectors with eight valve openings.

Of course, this, combined with the new generation of "octosquare" Eolys diesel additive function with particulate filter (DPF) system.

Electronic Controlled Transmission 6-speed manual (BMP6)

HDi diesel engine is mated to an electronically controlled six-speed sequential manual gearbox:

In automatic mode, electronic control allows significant savings in fuel consumption compared to a conventional automatic transmission or even a traditional manual gearbox

It offers a truly satisfying driving was the opportunity to select a mode for changing gear at any moment - manually or automatically - when traveling to or through a control wheel

The quality of speed gearbox has been strengthened by technology HYbrid4 the rear electric motor is activated during the transition to improve the flow of operation and maintains running between gear changes.

Stop & Start last generation

This system places the HDi diesel engine in standby mode when the vehicle is stationary (at traffic lights, stop signs or traffic, etc) and when the vehicle is driven in electric only mode. It significantly reduces fuel consumption and emissions in urban driving, while the HDi diesel engine enabling.the to restart instantly and seamlessly when needed.

system of "High Voltage" Stop & Start is the largest power 8 kW, and can produce enough energy to power requirements for the rear electric motor, if necessary (four-wheel drive mode).

Rear Suspension

To ensure a dynamic performance on par with the standards of the reputation of the Peugeot road operation, the module also includes a power rear suspension multi-link rear, which houses the electric motor and gearbox.

ESP

Operates within a voltage range between 150 and 270 volts. The converter reduces the voltage of 200 volt battery to 12 volts for high power systems aboard the vehicle.

In the 3008 HYbrid4 all these components are made as compact as possible to maximize the effect of installation and weight in the vehicle.

high-voltage battery

Ni-MH (Nickel Metal Hydride) batteries are located under the luggage compartment floor, near the electric motor. The high voltage battery is in addition to the standard 12V battery under the hood, which operates its normal functions.

In the medium term, this battery technology is the most appropriate and cost-industrialization of vehicles produced in large quantities.

Energy recovery

energy recovery system (electric motor is the generator) allows the kinetic energy created by the vehicle is converted into electricity to charge Ni-MH battery during deceleration (to release the accelerator and brake). The recovery system allows the driver to re-use of "free" (business) to reduce energy consumption accordingly.

Human-Computer Interaction

A 7 inch 16 / 9 color screen or a multi-function, according to vehicle specifications, inform the driver in real time of operational status of the hybrid propulsion system. It also shows that for a given path, periods operating in different modes and the state of battery charge.

The scoreboard in the dial on the left shows the percentage of power used or recovered by phases of braking or deceleration. Scales indicates the battery status: charging, Eco (optimal range), Power Boost (maximum utilization with HDi diesel engine).

2011 Peugeot RCZ Sports Coupe Review

More than a concept car, which has become a reality, Peugeot RCZ represents a new chapter in the history of "lifestyle" Peugeot vehicles. His expressive style and innovation and effective enjoyment of luxury and environmentally friendly engines and to drive the project will create the brand in the future, which promises to be more exciting than ever.

Building on the passion and skill of its designers and engineers, the Peugeot brand values ​​to instill in each vehicle it produces. Sometimes, however, exempted from the restrictions and creative shot, Peugeot makes a bold new step and will bring a "lifestyle" vehicles that are truly exceptional. The latter is always emotional, inspiring admiration among car enthusiasts, and many of the producers of pride.

Some concept cars exhibited at international motor shows also follow this example. Sometimes, their attraction is so large that the desire to see them take the road becomes unstoppable.

Accordingly, in September 2007 at the Frankfurt Motor Show, Peugeot revealed a styling exercise that leaves no observer intact: Peugeot 308 RC Z Concept Car.

The idea of ​​marketing based auto dealership, has rapidly become a reality.

But the transformation from concept to production model requires a real commitment, daring and ingenuity ... qualities that the producer is known for.

Designers and engineers worked together to ensure that all vehicle specifications adhered to the promise of its exterior design.

Indeed, if the main objective was to preserve the concept of style, despite the severe constraints imposed by manufacturing and marketing, the challenge has gone much further. ambitious goals set out in terms of management and production quality, giving the car its own strong and unique identity.

This compact 2 +2 coupe was therefore destined to become the exclusive vehicle for "something special" melting pot of emotion, he designed a modern and very demanding clientele with expert advice on what is driving pleasure.

His name, RCZ, symbolizes this unique position and unique compared to the Peugeot range, since this is the first passenger car to use the numbering system with a center "zero" or "double zero".

Peugeot RCZ, therefore, describes the sum of the values ​​of the Peugeot, who have constantly realigned with the times.

Designed to enhance the pleasure of driving, the Peugeot RCZ is also dynamic (the top model with all-new 1.6-liter THP 147 kW/200 hp) and its equivalent, which offers an innovative combination of performance and respect ' environment. Her lower weight, streamlined and polished modern engine technology, the entry level model has CO2 emissions of just 139 g / km.

An extension of this thought is the Peugeot RCZ is equipped HYbrid4 technology, which will be unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show 2009. Peugeot RCZ This is based on the powertrain HYbrid4 the 3008, which will be available in spring 2011: a 2.0 liter HDi FAP 120 kW (163bhp) at the front and 27 kW (37bhp) electric motor on the back. This concept has emissions of just 95 g / km of CO2, while benefiting from a potential of 147kW (200 hp) and four-wheel drive.

This reflects the willingness of Peugeot to offer this technology on different vehicles in its range, vehicles that can be very different (crossover coupe ...), which may be based on different platforms, but with a common theme, namely that new driving pleasure.

Another challenge facing the project was to successfully develop a new vehicle, especially for a short period. In this sense, it was decided to raise the center of vehicle production, which specializes exclusively for vehicles that are produced in small batches in the factory Magna Steyr in Graz, Austria.

Consequently, only two years after exhibited as a concept car, the Peugeot RCZ will be unveiled for the first time in public, in its final form at the 63rd IAA.

Peugeot RCZ will go on sale in spring 2010.

EMOTIONS STYLISTIC

Sculptural, dynamic and elegant style of the Peugeot RCZ offers new dynamic and harmonious proportions, based on an architecture with three compartments and original compact coupe.

The "double bubble" roof window and the back is not only a remarkable feat of engineering, but also the signature style of a car, where every detail produces an overwhelming sense of quality and expressiveness. Windshield, black roof and dark tinted rear window to provide visual continuity strikingly offset by two aluminum roof arches. Side, creating a unique profile of continuity between the original plaster design front and sleek from the rear of the car.

In front of a cat show, a feature manufacturing soft edges of wings and large wheels, spoiler and ruby-red LED tail lights with crystal displays to create the appearance that combines sensuality and strength, technique and difference.

In addition, the proportions of the car (1.36 m in height) and well-designed body with rows of double-bubble roof, to optimize the flow of air creates an excellent aerodynamics. Active rear spoiler will also help the aerodynamics of the car can be introduced for the two positions of the vehicle speed, so that an optimal balance between maintenance and fuel consumption.

Inner emotions

The RCZ Peugeot cab driver immediately immersed in an atmosphere subtly echoed in the elitist world of motorsport.

"Come" in the vehicle, the driver discovers an ergonomic driving position is ideal to enjoy the driving characteristics of the Peugeot RCZ: The wraparound seats with their integral head restraints like a glove around the front passengers, and all controls are within reach of driver hands.

The fluid and the dashboard layout follows the style simplified strongly inclined accolades new models of the manufacturer, and this is perfectly distinctive in the world court.

Using high quality materials combined with elegant contours to improve the overall atmosphere of refinement.

Under the driver's eyes, mirroring the clock is located in the center of the dashboard, the dashboard indicators are included cases of metal etched, backlit labels.

The dashboard is completely lined with soft fabric with an innovative, hi-tech looking and very elegant. Customers can also choose from a variety of colors, as in the case of Nappa leather interior (leather luxury thick very fine-grain smooth).

This design, its elegance is enhanced by the equipment table hello-technology that can contain (new WIP Com 3D multimedia system, the JBL Hi-fisystem ™, USB connectors on all versions, etc.) are also versatile, allowing users to adapt to any situation.

For example, for a long weekend, the boot has a capacity of 384 liters (321 dm3 according to VDA) is added to the storage space beneath the floor. It 'possible that this capacity continues to grow folding rear seat back down, which gives the maximum capacity of 760 liters of boot (639 dm3 VDA).

Finally, it offers two extra seats, fully carved and completely impractical, especially since the design of the roof with his double bubble provides an extra margin for those occasional rear passengers.

ENGINEERING OF EMOTION

I n 2010, three engines will find their place under the large aluminum hood of the Peugeot RCZ. High Performance Engines in every sense of the word: a generous torque and power, low fuel consumption and CO2 emissions and comply with Euro 5-standard. These environmental concerns have been one of the key priorities of the project, forming a modern and responsible approach to a vehicle in this segment.

1.6 liter THP 147 kW (200 hp) BVM6

This new engine (to be published in the summer of 2010), the chassis of the car to realize their true potential. With its maximum torque of 255 Nm at 1700 rpm (or 275 with overboost) and a maximum power of 147 kW at 5,800 rpm, the benefits of Peugeot RCZ dynamic acceleration (80 to 120 km / h in 6.5 seconds in fifth gear ), 0 to 100 km / h in 7.6 seconds ...) while consumption combined cycle not exceeding 7.1 liters per 100 kilometers (less than 165 g / km of CO2).

For this, the 4-cylinder engine with a capacity of 1598 cm3 combines the latest technologies to create world's first twin turbocharger for improved performance and instant response at low engine speeds, the gasoline direct injection, variable valve lift and with variable valve timing camshaft intake and exhaust of Technology (VTI), lower fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

"Audio engine" Acceleration is also optimized for the development of sound of the engine. Using the Sound System has created a different sound when the engine speed. Just like a musical instrument, the vibrating diaphragm to produce a controlled sound that enhances the acoustic channel, this leads to noise level, which remains constant over long distances.

1.6 liter THP 115 kW (156 hp) or BVM6 BVA6

This turbocharged direct injection achieves a remarkable synthesis between performance (240 Nm at 1400 rpm and 115 kW at 5,800 rpm) and fuel consumption (6.9 l/100 km, 159 g / km of CO2 with a manual gearbox). It will also be available from summer 2010 in conjunction with a brand new 6-speed automatic transmission with sequential.

® 2.0-liter HDi FAP 120 kW (163 hp) BVM6

With a capacity of 1997 cm3, this engine - was launched this year - develops a maximum power of 120 kW at 3,750 rpm and maximum torque of 340 Nm at 2000 rpm generous. To achieve this level of performance that has a new generation ECCS (Extreme Convent ional Combust ion System) combustion chamber, an inertia variable geometry turbocharger low, high pressure pump to a pressure of 2,000 bar common rail "solenoids and injectors with eight starts.

This engine gives free rein to the potential of Peugeot RCZ for traction while reducing its fuel consumption of 5.4 litres/100km combined cycle with CO2 emissions of 139 g / km.

DYNAMIC EMOTIONS

The famous "passion" which gives Peugeot car here makes sense. Based on the manufacturer's experience in terms of maneuverability and handling, for the Peugeot RCZ is taking the notion of driving pleasure to new heights.

Peugeot RCZ fundamental advantages of a highly effective suspension set-up developed from the second platform of the brand, two vehicles (front McPherson suspension and torsion beam type rear). In addition, the ride height of the car and the center of gravity is lowered 20 mm and 40 mm compared to a sedan 308. Compared to the latter, Peugeot RCZ is wider (+30 mm) with wide front and rear tracks (+ 54 mm + 72 mm). Suspension and dampers have been adjusted accordingly, with the addition of wider tires (18 "or 19"!) The end result is a grip of the first order. Finally, when Peugeot RCZ is equipped with THP 147 kW (200 hp), the front axle has a special anti-roll bar below to make the car more responsive and flexible while at the same time ensures a remarkably efficient.

The hydraulic steering is designed to provide a precision of the highest order and excellent responsiveness.

Braking, meanwhile, is powerful, durable and guaranteed by the generously dimensioned ventilated discs with a diameter of 302 mm and a thickness of 26 mm on the 1.6 liter THP 147 kW (200 hp) in particular 340x30mm. All models are equipped with rear disc brakes with a diameter of 290x12 mm.

For easy maneuvering on steep slopes, all versions of the Peugeot RCZ comes with Hill Assist. This feature is coupled in series to the PSE, which, except in versions with automatic transmission includes a traction control system with intelligence (ASR has sophisticated, which automatically adjusts the traction of both front wheels depending on available grip levels) and many sure Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), Electronic Brake force (EBD) and Emergency Brake Assist (EBA). DSC, and RAS features of ASD can be performed simultaneously (ESP off), so that the experience and demanding drivers can use the capabilities of the car.

EMOTIONS AT THE MAP

So that each customer can be a unique car, Peugeot RCZ in the game, save your personalization in order to keep the exclusive vehicle tracking.

Indeed, following in the footsteps of the 508, the new Peugeot 308 features innovative e-HDi micro-hybrid technology, the latest generation STOP & START, on the 1.6 litre HDi FAP 112 bhp Euro 5 engine. This offer, on the “entry level” engine, is available with a semi-automatic manual gearbox and, for the first time, with a full manual gearbox, for optimal driveability.

In addition to micro-hybrid technology, all factors impacting the level of CO2 emissions have been optimised:

• weight reduced by 25 kg on average per car;
• launch of 16” tyres with Very Low Rolling Resistance;
• optimisation of the latest generation engines (VTi, THP, HDi Euro 5);
• Cx of 0.28 for versions with a low fuel consumption – A record in the segment.

Fuel consumption sets the standard:

• 98 g/km of CO2* for the 308 saloon 1.6 litre e-HDi

FAP 112 bhp BMP6 – A record in the segment
(* pending approval, available in the summer of 2011

• 104 g/km CO2 at launch);
• available power trains, comprising 4 petrol engines ranging from 98 bhp to 200 bhp for the exclusive GTi version and 4 diesel engines from 92 bhp to 163 bhp, have also been optimised to ensure a comprehensive range of engines guaranteeing environmental efficiency. As a result, the basic version – the 308

saloon 1.6 litre HDi FAP 92 bhp with manual gearbox – is well positioned, with CO2 emissions reduced to only 110 g/km.
The dimensions and quality of equipment on the new 308 remain unchanged, regardless of body shape, guaranteeing a spacious and comfortable passenger compartment. The same is true of primary, secondary and tertiary safety, which remain at the highest level. The 308 facelift will receive its world premiere at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show and will go on sale from April 2011 in Europe. Its mission is to continue the success story of the 308 family, with nearly 900,000 models sold since its launch in September 2007.

ELEGANT LINES ENHANCED BY ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY

The design of the 308 facelift subtly incorporates the new stylistic codes of the Peugeot Marque. While the dimensions are unchanged, the new lines marry as closely as possible the car’s mechanical assembly to accentuate its athletic poise, while the front aspect gives a fresh look to the “floating” front grille concept. Greater importance accorded to unbroken surfaces marks a determination to present an elegant and luxurious style. The central protective capping, available in a black lacquer finish, has been made thinner to give greater prominence to the sheer metal. This is also true of the single air intake which is now smaller in size. Styling elements enhance the natural elegance which emanates from the 308 facelift. A satin chrome bead enhances the new front grille, as do horizontal bars, available in lustrous black or chrome according to body shape (saloon, CC or SW).

The bottom section of the lower front panel, which helps visually to broaden the car and “plant” it on the road, incorporates new dual-function lights (daytime and sidelights) shaped like a boomerang, available according to versions. With their meticulous finish, they blend perfectly and are harmoniously positioned on the upper surround of the fog light housing. Composed of variable intensity LEDs and a light guide, they guarantee a unique visual signature by day and by night while illustrating the high level of technology featured on the 308 facelift.

In the upper section, the V-shaped nose of the bonnet is one of the main expressive features of the 308. It has been redesigned to fit the car’s mechanical assembly as closely as possible and provides a new link with the floating front grille, in line with Peugeot’s new stylistic codes. The Marque badge, in its new dual material construction, is proudly positioned at the tip of the bonnet on a new black lacquer base set with a chrome bead, also in the shape of a V.

The outline of this nose, fluid and characteristic, is more curvaceous, particularly at the junction of the lights and the bonnet. The new smooth glass front headlamps, closely fitting the three cylinders, suggest a look that is both refined and assertive. And when the 308 is equipped with dynamic bi-directional Xenon headlamps complete with titanium coloured base, this look becomes even more profound, displaying all the strength of character of the 308 facelift.

The dynamism of the front aspect is echoed on the sides of the car. A styling line, running from the front wheel arches, crosses the side of the body and the rear lights before dropping towards the lower rear panel and coming to an end in the lower section.

The fluidity of the style is enhanced by the lateral glazed surface which follows a plunging waistline, and also by the panoramic rear window, which overlaps the rear quarter panel pillars.

Lastly, to establish the general appearance of the 308, a lower waistline starting from the lower front panel extends as far as the rear bumper. The car therefore seems well poised on the road, ready to exploit its dynamic qualities to the full . New diamanté effect 16 or 17 inch alloy wheels or Storm Grey 18 inch wheels for the GTi version underline this dynamic appeal.

The sense of dynamism is enhanced further by the car’s rear style.

On the saloon, the wraparound lower rear panel adds a note of robustness and perceived quality as well as a sporty touch thanks to the presence of a styling element in the shape of a spoiler and two inserts, which can have a chrome finish, suggesting exhaust nozzles.

The new Lion takes its place in the centre of the tailgate, while a satin chrome bead emphasizes the horizontal waistline, bringing a new balance to the rear of the 308.

On the SW, the contours of the robust lower panel and the rear lights have been designed to allow a wide boot aperture. The low load sill resulting from this design promises easy loading and a large internal capacity. From an aesthetic point of view, a horizontal waistline runs around the rear tailgate in its central section to “stretch” the car. This sensation is amplified by the body-coloured number plate insert surmounted by the new Lion badge.

On the CC the strength of the rear style is repeated, with a sense of horizontality given to the rear aspect that reinforces the impression of width. Numerous details add to this overall effect: the concave movement crossing the tailgate under the spoiler, the chrome bead framing the number plate and the presence of an air diffuser in the lower section. On either side and extending over the wings, the ruby-coloured LED rear lights with light curtain effect broaden the silhouette and give the 308 CC a unique and spectacular visual signature.

A FLUID AND LUXURIOUS INTERIOR

Stylists worked hard to exploit to the full the interior volumes freed up by the semi-tall architecture of the 308. They therefore designed a particularly inclined fascia panel, almost symmetrical to the front windscreen pillars, to offer unimpeded exterior visibility.

In addition, there was a marked determination to give the interior a very upmarket feel and an enhanced sense of perceived quality. The result is a fluid, pure and elegant fascia panel where pride of place is given to superior materials, according to finish: soft covering, leather trim, chrome, black lacquered materials... The care given to the finish and the emphasis on interior comfort are evident in every detail. According to the level in the range, new motifs decorate the door panel strips, panel trim, thumb rests on the steering wheel, etc. Similarly, the special seats on the GTi version have red visible stitching with specific marking on top of the seat back and an aluminium steering wheel ring showing the word “GTi”. Dark-tinted rear windows combined with dark wheel trims (Storm Grey) and the titanium mask of the discharge lamps, give this version a sporty and assertive identity, perfectly in keeping with the dynamic potential of its 1.6 litre THP 200 bhp engine.

Inside the 308 CC, the eye is caught also by the elegance of the 4 seats with integral head restraints and the possibility of full leather trim on the fascia panel, in different shades, which convey a touring car image. This distinctive design makes for even more comfortable seats with an Airwave warm air diffuser behind the necks of the front passengers. The pleasure of open-top driving is thus enhanced.

Interior comfort and convenience

A SPACIOUS AND BRIGHT PASSENGER CO MPARTMENT

The passenger compartment has been designed to ensure that a sense of space and brightness predominates, making occupants feel they don’t want their journey to end.

The interior dimensions and efforts by the designers to free up as much space as possible for passenger comfort make the 308 one of the most spacious cars in its segment.

Elbow width at the front is 1464 mm for the saloon and SW body shapes, and rises to 1492 mm for the Coupé Cabriolet version. At the rear, these dimensions are respectively 1471 mm and 1321 mm for the CC. The feeling of space is even more noticeable on account of the many clever storage spaces available inside the 308. Total storage capacity is 42 litres, making life inside the car easier and preserving space for the occupants.

All of the 7 passengers that can be seated in the 308 SW thanks to the optional additional 2 rear seats can benefit from these fitted spaces. They can also modulate and adjust the car’s interior as necessary by opting for individual seats in row 2. Nor has the boot volume been ignored, with a capacity under the parcel shelf of 674 litres for the SW and 430 litres for the saloon. With the load potential exploited to the full, the capacities are 2149 and 1398 litres respectively.

On the CC, all four passengers can benefit from the availability of a large boot capacity (465 litres) in the coupé configuration. On the cabriolet, with the retractable roof stored in the boot, the boot still offers a capacity of 266 litres. What’s more, it only takes 20 seconds to convert the 308 CC into a dynamic coupé or an elegant cabriolet.

Passengers in the 308 saloon and SW will also be able to benefit from a “sunny” passenger compartment thanks to the panoramic roofs available for these body shapes. They increase the total glazed surface area to 4.86 m² on the saloon and 5.58 m² on the SW. The light level inside the car can be regulated by means of an electrically-operated roller blind associated with this equipment.

To make the journey even more pleasant, automatic dual-zone air conditioning is available. With its active charcoal filter, it also reduces hydrocarbon odours inside the passenger compartment.

Finally, passengers will be able to benefit from a high quality audio and telematics system: WIP Sound audio system, Bluetooth hands-free kit, WIP Nav satellite navigation and WIP Com 3D with a retractable 7” 16/9 colour display. A JBL hi-fi system is also available and may be combined with laminated side windows for optimal acoustic performance. Regardless of body shape, the 308 facelift offers a high level of comfort and convenience.

REDUCTION OF CO 2

The reduction of CO2 emissions was one of the main objectives of this project. This resulted in a search for environmental efficiency at all levels. All factors influencing fuel consumption were optimised:

• weight reduced by 25 kg on average per car;
• launch of 16” tyres with Very Low Rolling Resistance;
• use of a piloted oil pump on 1.6 litre HDi engines;
• optimisation of operation of the alternator on some engines;
• improvement of power steering control (electropump unit);
• Cx of 0.28 for versions with a low fuel consumption – A record in the segment;
• e-HDi micro-hybrid technology;
• 98 g/km of CO2* for the 1.6 litre e-HDi FAP 112 bhp BMP6 version – A record in the segment (* pending approval, available in the summer of 2011 – 104 g/ km CO2 at launch).-

e-HDi MICRO-HYBRID TECHNOLOGY

After the 508, the new Peugeot 308 is the second of the Marque’s cars to introduce the innovative e-HDi micro-hybrid technology, a new generation STOP & START.

This innovation is based on the combination of a 1.6 litre HDi Euro 5 diesel engine and a reversible alternator ensuring the STOP & START function. Relying on an alternator control system (Volt Control) to recover energy during deceleration and a hybrid battery to store and deliver additional energy on startup (e-booster), the HDi unit allows:

• a 15% reduction in fuel consumption in urban traffic;

• a 5 g/km reduction in CO2 emissions for approved cycle fuel consumption;

• 40% faster restarting (400 ms) than with an enhanced starter STOP & START;

• activation of engine cut-out from 20 km/h with a manual gearbox (8 km/h for the electronicallycontrolled gearbox);

• increased driveability of t

he STOP & START (silent operation, no vibrations). The second-generation reversible alternator used here has a power of 2.2 kW and allows up to 600,000 restarts. However the STOP & START function can be de-activated by the driver if preferred by means of a button on the fascia panel.

1.6 LITRE e-HDI FA P 112 BHP ENGINE

To deploy this technology on a large scale, the new 308 proposes e-HDi technology with a “basic” engine, the 1.6 litre HDi FAP 112 bhp, which can be coupled with two gearboxes (manual or electronicallycontrolled). This is a first, since hitherto e-HDi technology was available only with the BVMP6 electronically-controlled gearbox. This new offer maximises driving enjoyment by increasing the phases of driving “in silence”. When coupled with a manual gearbox, engine cut-out is possible from a speed of 20 km/h.

A CO MPREHENSIVE RANGE OF LATEST-GENERATION ENGINES

To reduce CO2 emissions as much as possible, the 308 facelift is uniquely equipped with the very latestgeneration engines for both petrol (VTi or THP engines) and diesel versions (new HDi Euro 5 engines). On the saloon, all 8 available engines, as well as different possible gearbox combinations (manual, electronically-controlled manual or automatic), will allow every customer to find the version that suits them best.

PEUGEOT KNOW-HOW

True to the Marque’s values in terms of driving pleasure, the 308 facelift seeks also to preserve its leadership in terms of road holding. The features that make the 308 a reference are maintained:

• rigid body structure;
• McPherson type front suspension;
• rear suspension with torsion beam;
• hydraulic dampers with valves;
• power steering with variable assistance piloted by an electro-pump unit;
• large disc brakes (ventilated at the front) – up to 302 x 26 mm;
• ABS, electronic brake force distribution, emergency brake assist and automatic switching on of hazard warning lights as standard;
• Bosch 8.1 ESP according to versions.

HIGH LEVEL SAFETY ON ALL CO UNTS

Whether in terms of primary, secondary or tertiary safety, the 308 facelift is positioned at the highest level. Firstly, the excellent rigidity of the structure ensures optimal operation of the wheels and suspension ensuring a high level of primary safety. In terms of secondary safety, the structure itself has been rigorously designed to withstand even the most severe impact, thanks in particular to a triple force channel at the front. The use of high-strength steel and “multilayer” reinforcements in specific areas has made it possible to raise the level of safety of occupants while reducing the overall weight of the car.

In addition to the performance of the structure, efficient means of restraint are proposed:

• up to 8 air bags on the saloon and SW;
• up to 6 air bags on the CC, including 2 head air bags at the front;
• extractible safety hoops on the CC in the event of rollover;
• 3-point seat belts with belt not fastened or unfastened acoustic warnings;
• Isofix fixtures.

Lastly, with regard to tertiary safety, the 308 facelift benefits from Peugeot Connect services. Occupants are put through to an assistance helpline when an emergency call is made (Peugeot Connect SOS) or a breakdown service in the case of a mechanical incident (Peugeot Connect Assistance). These services are available via a Peugeot Connect unit or with the top-of-the-range WIP Com 3D telematics offer.
