Technology: the two bodies of the Peugeot 308 present electrified versions
The two new bodies of the Peugeot 308, the compact saloon and the SW estate, already available in their plug-in hybrid electrified versions, will also be available in a 100% electric version from 2023. Peugeot will be the first European manufacturer to have a 100% estate electric. The electric 308 and 308 SW have a completely new electric motor that develops 115 kW (156 hp) and has a range of more than 400 km (WLTP cycle), depending on the trim level. This dual offer is an uncompromising response, perfectly adapted to the needs of the C-segment: the unique appearance of the 308 is combined with the driving pleasure typical of Peugeot models and with class-leading efficiency, with an average consumption of 12.7 kWh. The new Peugeot e-308 and e-308 SW, which are available in the Allure and GT trim levels, will hit the market successively in mid-2023.
The design of the new Peugeot e-308 and e-308 SW is rooted both in Peugeot’s DNA and in a dynamic, high-end reference universe. The elongated bonnet enhances the silhouette, the volumes are sensual and sharp and the brand’s new logo is proudly displayed in the center of the grille. The overall optimization of the architecture promotes the use of the interior space. At the front, a daylight signature in the form of fangs frame the Matrix LED headlights, which perfectly integrate the 308 and 308 SW into the Peugeot family, as well as the LED lighting with the three claws on the rear lights.
A new 18-inch aluminum wheel design has been specially developed for the 100% electric versions of the Peugeot 308 and 308 SW. Aerodynamic efficiency is particularly well designed to optimize performance.
An electric motor with: 115 kW (156 hp) and 260 Nm of torque (available from 0 km/h) for an immediate response capacity will debut in the new Peugeot e-308 and e-308 SW. The new engine drives the e-308 silently, without vibrations and without CO2 emissions. This engine complements the current range, which consists of 132 kW/180 hp and 162 kW/225 hp plug-in hybrids and versions with combustion engines.
The gearbox of the Peugeot e-308 and e-308 SW optimizes their range while maintaining a high level of performance with the responsiveness of electric motors.
The battery is also of the new generation. It is a 54 kWh high voltage battery (51 kWh useful) with a new chemical composition; with 80% nickel, 10% manganese and 10% cobalt, 400 volts and with a range of more than 400 km according to the WLTP cycle (homologation in progress).
Efficiency has been one of the main concerns for the engineers of the Peugeot e-308 and e-308 SW, since the combination of efforts in the areas of engine, battery, aerodynamics (optimization of the front and bottom), weight optimization (EMP2 platform) and reduction of friction losses (class A tyres) have made it possible to achieve a remarkably low average energy consumption: 12.7 kWh per 100 km, a reference in the 100% electric segment C.
In addition, to manage energy consumption as efficiently as possible, the driver can select the driving modes (ECO, NORMAL and SPORT) and even, thanks to the «BRAKE» mode, increase the delay when releasing the accelerator to optimize energy recovery.
The three-phase on-board charger, which is part of the standard equipment, has an output of 11 kW. Accepts all charging modes; From a 100 kW public charging point, the vehicle’s charge level goes from 20 to 80% in less than 25 minutes.
From a technological point of view, the new Peugeot e-308 and e-308 SW incorporate the latest generation of driver assistance systems that allow safer and calmer driving. One is the adaptive cruise control with Stop and Go function; the long-range blind spot control (75 meters) and the reversing warning, which detects possible hazards when reversing.
For the driver and passengers, the new Peugeot e-308 and e-308 SW offer the latest generation of the i-Cockpit, recognizable by the compact heated steering wheel designed to offer driving pleasure and great agility. For its 3D digital combo, customizable and configurable. And a 10-inch central touchscreen.
Great emphasis has been placed on the interior, with the invention of fully customizable virtual i-toggles, and on connectivity, including the latest i-Connect Advanced technology, an infotainment system that makes the driving and travel experience seamless. .
Depending on the country where they are sold, the new Peugeot e-308 and e-308 SW will be available for purchase online on the brand’s website, allowing customers to have a 100% digital shopping experience (selling online). safe. Customers can trade in their old vehicle, buy a new one and finance it from their smartphone, tablet or PC.
Customers have a range of services available to make their day-to-day lives easier. The MyPeugeot application available for smartphones communicates with the vehicle, allowing remote programming of charging or activation of thermal preconditioning.
The Free2Move e-solutions smartphone app allows users to plan their journeys, in particular by anticipating charging zones thanks to the integration of charging points along the route.
