Peugeot 308 Sedan
While most European manufacturers are
offering extended wheelbase versions of its models in China, Peugeot went for a
four-door 308.
Celebrating its public debut at the 2016
Beijing Auto Show, the 308 Sedan is part of PSA's "China: Blue Upper"
5-year development plan and it has been developed in collaboration with
Dongfeng.
It is underpinned by the EMP2 platform,
meaning that it will have a lot of things in common with the European 308
hatch, but during its transformation, it has received a slightly longer
wheelbase, as rear legroom is a very important aspect in China.
Despite lifting the veils off its body,
the automaker hasn't disclosed any details. However, local reports indicate
that it could be offered with two gasoline turbocharged engines, taken from the
local 308S hatch, connected to either a manual or an automatic gearbox, but
Peugeot will shed some light on the case over the following weeks, when it's
expected to reveal full details on the compact sedan. Chances are this is
another vehicle created exclusively for China, so don't wait for it in other
parts of the globe.
