New petrol flagship for 308 CC

Published:

PEUGEOT has added a new flagship petrol variant to its 308 CC line-up.

The new model, with a 1.6-litre 156bhp turbocharged engine and six-speed automatic gearbox, will be available in SE and GT trim levels – unlike the current THP 140 automatic model, which was available only in SE trim.

Lighter and more compact than the gearbox it replaces, this new unit has been designed to reduce the vehicle’s fuel consumption and CO emissions (about 7% less than the previous model). It also benefits from a boost in refinement and responsiveness.

Two driving modes are possible: automatic – which adapts to the user’s driving style for quiet, stress-free progress – and a more active mode thanks to the gearbox’s sequential selection control.

On sale now, prices for this new 308 CC model start at £23,595.
