Beneath the 308's rounded bodywork sat a transversely mounted 1.6-litre petrol engine producing 110 horsepower, paired with a five-speed manual gearbox in most European markets by 2007. The 2.0-litre HDi diesel option, good for 136 hp, appealed to fleet buyers and high-mileage drivers who valued torque over acceleration. Peugeot's focus that year was consolidating the compact s
By 2008, the 308 range stretched across four distinct body styles: the three-door and five-door hatchbacks, a practical estate, and a sporty coupé-cabriolet. Australian buyers could configure each with either petrol or diesel power, trim levels spanning from base to fully equipped GT variants, making the breadth of choice a genuine selling point against rivals.
By 2013, the 308 was distributed across European markets with distinct regional specifications. The UK and continental buyers received the same 1.6-litre turbodiesel good for 92 hp, but left-hand-drive markets got the updated instrument cluster earlier. Peugeot's strategy was clear: standardise the platform, localise the trim.
By 2014 the 308's second generation had matured considerably, its 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine now delivering 156 horsepower with markedly sharper throttle response than its predecessor. The platform's stiffer suspension geometry and revised steering geometry gave drivers a noticeably more composed feel through corners. Against the Golf and Focus, it offered genuine agi
By 2015, the 308 lineup spanned four distinct body styles: the conventional five-door saloon, a practical estate variant, a coupé-cabriolet for open-air driving, and the GTi hot hatch that carried the brand's performance legacy. Petrol and diesel options ranged from 82 to 270 horsepower across the range.
By 2016, the 308 had settled into a competitive sweet spot between the Golf and Focus, offering buyers a blend of French styling and practical engineering at a more accessible price point. The updated interior featured Peugeot's latest touchscreen interface, while the diesel range—particularly the 1.6 with 120 hp—attracted cost-conscious fleet managers across Western Europe.
By 2017, the 308 occupied middle ground between the nimble Fiesta and the spacious Focus. Peugeot's 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine, producing 110 horsepower, offered modest running costs that appealed to fleet managers across Europe. Against rivals growing heavier and more complex, the 308 held a reputation for straightforward ownership and accessible service networks.
By 2018, the refreshed 308 faced a crowded compact segment where Korean and Japanese rivals pressed hard on pricing and equipment. Peugeot's response: a revised front end, updated infotainment, and a choice of 1.2-litre turbo or 1.5-litre diesel engines. Markets in Chile, Korea, and Malaysia received region-specific trim levels and safety packages, reflecting local buyer priori
By 2019, the 308's mid-cycle refresh brought a revised 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine good for 110 hp, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission that sharpened responsiveness in urban traffic. The platform remained the same EMP2 architecture, but interior refinement and a sharper touchscreen interface positioned it directly against the Golf and Focus—competitors i
By 2020, the 308 reached markets across Chile, Spain, France, and Japan with distinct regional specifications. European buyers found the turbocharged 1.2-litre petrol engine good for 130 horsepower, while diesel alternatives served those chasing fuel economy. The Japanese market received a right-hand-drive configuration, marking Peugeot's continued push into Asian showrooms.
The 2021 refresh brought a 1.2-litre turbocharged three-cylinder producing 110 horsepower as the entry point, with a 130 hp variant available for those wanting more urgency. A 1.5-litre diesel offered 100 hp and lower running costs for high-mileage drivers. Eight-speed automatics arrived alongside the manual, shifting the 308 toward convenience-focused buyers competing directly
By 2022, the 308 lineup offered buyers a choice between petrol and diesel powertrains, a three-door and five-door saloon, plus a practical estate variant. The range catered to those seeking European family transport that didn't sacrifice driving engagement—a positioning that set it apart from the growing wave of crossovers crowding the compact segment.
By 2023, Peugeot positioned the 308 as a fresh contender in the compact car segment, where it faced the eighth-generation Golf and the increasingly aggressive Hyundai i30. The redesigned front end and revised interior brought it closer to premium expectations, while the powertrain range—from 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engines to plug-in hybrid variants delivering up to 225 h
Peugeot's 2017 Roland Garros editions reached Brazilian showrooms as a niche offering, blending the 308 and 408 sedans under tennis-inspired trim packages. The left-hand-drive configuration matched local specifications, while the 1.6-litre petrol engine delivered 120 horsepower—adequate for São Paulo's congested streets. This special variant tapped into Brazil's sports culture
The 2008 308 landed in UK showrooms as a direct competitor to the Golf Mk V and Astra H, yet Peugeot differentiated itself through estate breadth: both three- and five-door saloons shared the platform with the practical SW variant, covering everything from urban commuters to family haulers. Petrol and diesel options, ranging from 1.4-litre to 2.0-litre displacement, meant buyer
By 2009, the 308 faced stiffening competition from the Golf Mk V and Civic—yet Peugeot's second-generation offering held its ground through sharper handling and a more modern cabin. Australian buyers could specify either a 1.6-litre petrol engine or a 2.0-litre diesel, both tuned for local conditions. The SW estate variant captured families seeking practicality without sacrific
Australia received the 308 and SW in a market where Japanese compacts dominated, yet Peugeot's French engineering offered a different proposition. The 1.6-litre petrol engine, good for 110 hp, came paired with a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic—choices that mattered in a country where long drives and variable terrain demanded reliability and everyday practicality.
By 2011, the 308 and 308 SW faced intensifying competition from the Golf VI and Mazda3 in Anglophone markets, yet Peugeot's hatchback held its ground through sharper pricing and a more expressive design language.

Under the bonnet sat a 1.6-litre diesel producing 92 horsepower—modest on paper, but engineering for real-world efficiency across Australian and New Zealand roads. The petrol alternative delivered 120 hp from the same displacement, tuned for those who favoured throttle response over fuel economy. Both engines fed a five-speed manual or six-speed automatic, depending on specific
By 2015, the 308 and SW estate had reached Australian showrooms as a complete family proposition, though local buyers encountered the petrol-only powertrain lineup—diesel remained unavailable in that market. The sedan and wagon shared the same platform, offering buyers a choice between urban agility and practical load space in a market where both segments competed fiercely.
By 2016, the 308 faced stiff competition from the Volkswagen Golf and Ford Focus, yet Peugeot's Australian lineup held its ground with two engine choices: the 1.6-litre diesel producing 120 hp or the turbocharged 1.2-litre petrol at 130 hp. The SW estate variant mirrored this powertrain strategy, offering practical five-door versatility against rivals focused on compact sedans.
By 2018, the 308 range had solidified its place as a three-body proposition: the five-door saloon, the SW estate, and a two-door coupé variant for markets that still demanded it. The refresh brought sharper styling cues and a restructured engine lineup spanning 1.2-litre petrol turbos through to a 2.0-litre diesel producing 150 hp. Buyers across Australia, Ireland, and Japan co
Arriving in 2023, the eighth-generation 308 faced a crowded segment where the Volkswagen Golf, Toyota Corolla, and Hyundai i30 had already established strongholds.

UK buyers found enhanced driver assistance packages and a wider colour pal
By 2018, the 308 had matured into a credible compact-car alternative in a segment where the Golf and Focus still commanded attention. This generation's GT Line trim—powered by a turbocharged 1.6-litre good for 205 hp—appealed to buyers seeking sportier credentials without abandoning daily practicality. The SW estate variant extended cargo reach significantly.
By 2021, the Advantage trim occupied contested ground against the Golf and Focus, offering more equipment than entry models while undercutting higher trims. Peugeot positioned it for buyers seeking mainstream safety and connectivity without luxury pricing. The 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine produced 110 hp, adequate for European daily driving.
Japan received the 308 Blue Nappa Edition as Peugeot's answer to buyers seeking European sophistication beyond the usual compact suspects. The 2023 specification brought a 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine producing 130 hp paired with leather-appointed cabin trim, targeting a market where French design rarely competed directly against the established Japanese and Korean riva
By 2009, the 308 CC reached Australian and British markets as a pragmatic answer to convertible buyers seeking something beyond the typical soft-top formula.

Engine options ranged from a 1.6-litre petrol unit pro
The 2011 308 CC arrived in European markets as a pragmatic alternative to pricier rivals. Where the Eos demanded more cabin space and the Cooper offered sportier credentials, Peugeot's offering split the difference: a 1.6-litre four-cylinder good for 120 hp, paired with a folding steel roof that stowed neatly behind the rear seats. French buyers particularly favoured the simpli
The 308 CC's 1.6-litre petrol engine, producing 120 horsepower, drove through a five-speed manual or optional four-speed automatic gearbox—a pairing that reflected the market's preference for straightforward efficiency. By 2012, the retractable hardtop mechanism had matured through a generation of refinement, and buyers weighed it against the BMW 1 Series Convertible and Volksw
By 2016, Peugeot's hot hatch portfolio sat between the 208 GTi and the 308 S16, making the 308 GT a middle ground that buyers actually wanted. The 205 hp turbocharged 1.6-litre engine paired with a six-speed manual or automatic gearbox offered enough spark for weekend driving without the extreme maintenance costs of higher-tier rivals. Competitors like the Volkswagen Golf GTI a
The 2014 GT line arrived as a dual-body proposition: the three-door saloon and the SW estate, each turbocharged and diesel-powered to compete directly against the Focus ST and Golf GTI crowd. Buyers could specify the 200 hp 1.6-litre petrol unit or stick with the torque-rich 2.0-litre diesel good for 163 hp, both paired to a six-speed manual. The package included lowered suspen
The 2019 GT Line landed in Japan as Peugeot's answer to a segment dominated by Toyota's Auris and Honda's Civic—compact sport-conscious saloons that demanded European styling without sacrificing practicality. The Japanese market received the petrol engine exclusively, a deliberate choice reflecting local fuel preferences and dealer network realities at the time.
By 2019, the 308 GT Line Black Pack was destined exclusively for the Japanese market—a territory where Peugeot's sportier variants found their most receptive audience. The matte-black roof, darkened trim, and turbocharged 1.6-litre petrol engine delivering 205 hp positioned it as a premium alternative to the Toyota Auris and Honda Civic in that region. This Japan-specific confi
When Peugeot refreshed the 308 GTi for 2015, it arrived in a segment where hot hatchbacks were becoming more accessible yet more serious. The 1.6-litre turbocharged engine produced 200 horsepower, positioning it squarely against the Volkswagen Golf GTI and Ford Focus ST. Three-door and five-door bodies meant buyers could choose between outright sportiness and everyday practical
By 2016, hot-hatch rivals had grown bloated and expensive; the GTi arrived as a deliberate counter-statement. Against the Focus ST and Civic Type R, Peugeot's 208 PS turbocharged 1.6-litre felt leaner, more communicative through the steering. Australian buyers received the full sport suspension tune—lower, stiffer, rewarding precision over brute acceleration.
By 2017, the GTi reached markets where hot-hatch buyers faced a choice: German precision or French agility. The 270-hp turbocharged 1.6-litre engine and Michelin Pilot Sport tyres came as standard, a signal that Peugeot had abandoned apology. Japanese importers received the full European specification, while dealers in France and Germany emphasized the car's track-day credentia
The 2018 GTi retained its turbocharged 1.6-litre heart, now producing 208 horsepower through a revised fuel-injection system that sharpened low-end response. That mechanical foundation—paired with a six-speed manual transmission and Peugeot Sport's track-tuned suspension geometry—gave it an edge against the Ford Fiesta ST and the Renault Clio RS in hot-hatch territory. Malaysia
By 2019, Peugeot offered the GTi in two distinct bodystyles through Japanese dealers: the three-door hatchback remained the core offering, while a five-door variant expanded appeal to buyers seeking practicality without sacrificing the 270 hp turbocharged engine. A Sport trim with Alcantara steering wheel and darkened alloys completed the range, positioning it against hot hatch

By 2014, the 308 SW estate competed directly against the Volkswagen Golf Variant and Ford Focus Estate by offering buyers a practical 1.719-litre cargo hold with a lower purchase price.

The refre
By 2023, the estate market had shifted toward crossovers and SUVs, yet Peugeot's 308 SW held its ground against rivals like the Volkswagen Golf Alltrack and SEAT Tarraco.

The Japanese market saw limited availability, making this brochure a cur
Facing competition from the Volkswagen Golf Alltrack and Volvo V60 Cross Country in 2021, Peugeot's 308 SW positioned itself as the practical alternative for buyers seeking estate versatility without premium pricing.

When the 308 reached Japanese showrooms in 2019, Peugeot positioned the Tech Pack as a bridge between efficiency-focused buyers and those seeking modern driver aids.
