Spy Shots: Peugeot Nabbed Testing the New 308 Hatch Out in the Cold

Wednesday, January 16, 2013


If Peugeot is to muddle through the European debt crisis, it needs to strengthen its presence and gain market share in key categories such the popular B- and C-segments.

The French carmaker has already launched its main supermini competitor in the form of the brand-new 208 hatchback and will soon throw the new 2008 small crossover into the market, so it's now focusing on the development of the compact 308's replacement that will challenge the likes of the VW Golf Mk7 and Ford Focus.

Spied: Peugeot Updating Chinese Market 408 Sedan

Saturday, September 22, 2012


With the European market in turmoil, Peugeot has every reason to pay more attention to the models it builds and sells in overseas markets like the 408 Sedan, which is an extended-wheelbase, notchback version of the 308 hatch that is offered in China, South America and more recently, in Russia as well.

The spies over at China's Sohu captured some pictures of an undisguised prototype of the facelifted 408 Sedan.

French carmaker Peugeot is looking to expand its range of crossover and SUV models that currently includes the 3008, 4008 (based on the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport / ASX), 4007 and 508 RXH with a new entry level model, likely to be named 2008 or 208 RXH.

Spy Shots: Peugeot's 308 Replacement Snagged in Production Form


While this isn't the first time we have spotted Peugeot testing a replacement for the 308 compact hatchback, the previous prototypes were test mules, meaning the French company's engineers used a modified version of the current model's body to cover the new platform.

Now, our spies snapped some pictures of a development prototype wearing the body of the actual production model that's slated to go on sale late next year.

Peugeot Preparing Mid-Life Facelift for 3008 Crossover in China

Thursday, August 16, 2012


Chinese media have discovered a completely undisguised prototype of what is deemed a facelifted version of the Peugeot 3008 crossover that is available in various markets around the world.

While the current 3008 has the same appearance wherever it is sold, we cannot be sure if the restyling will be global or only for cars available in the Chinese market.

Scoop: Peugeot Continues Trialing 301 Test Mules

Friday, January 27, 2012


These new spy pictures show a test mule of the Peugeot 308 compact hatchback's replacement being tested in Europe. While the exterior panels of the prototype are from the current 308, underneath it’s a different story as it rides on a new platform with wider front and rear tracks that's shared with the Citroen C4 and DS4 models.

The French firm's new model will likely be named 301, as Peugeot would like to skip the 309 moniker that was used on its 1980s compact hatch.

Like the smaller 208, Peugeot's Golf rival is expected to be both more compact in length and lighter than the model it replaces with obvious benefits in fuel efficiency and CO2 emissions.

Scoop: Peugeot Mule-Testing 308's Replacement, which will Likely be Named 301

Saturday, December 10, 2011


Peugeot usually designs beautiful cars. The mid-1980's 309 wasn’t one of them, perhaps because it was originally meant to replace the Chrysler/Simca/Talbot Horizon – until Peugeot axed the Talbot brand, and thus the 309 was born.

Almost no one really missed it when it was replaced in 1993 by the much more coherent 306 (though the 309 continued to be built in India until the late 1990s).

And the reason why we're telling you all this is because the 308's replacement, a test mule of which is featured in these scoops, will most likely be named 301, a moniker last used in the 1930s, to avoid any connection with the unloved 309.

Scoop: 2012 Peugeot 2008 Small Crossover to Take on the Nissan Juke

Monday, August 29, 2011



It's been over a year since the PSA Peugeot-Citroën group announced an agreement with Mitsubishi to develop and adapt the Japanese company's ASX small crossover for its two brands in Europe and possibly other markets down the road.

Now, our spy photographers have captured the Peugeot-branded version of the Mitsubishi ASX, which is also called the Outlander Sport in the USA, and RVR in Japan and Canada, while testing in Europe. From what we understand and judging by the firm's current naming literature, the Peugeot model will carry the 2008 moniker.

SCOOP: Peugeot Trying Out New High-Riding 508 Outdoor

Tuesday, July 5, 2011


It has only been a few months since Peugeot spun out its newly designed 508 mid-size model in both saloon and Station Wagon formats, but the French acarmaker is already working on a new derivative inspired by its high-riding 207 Outdoor model.

Our spy photographers snagged a prototype version of the 508 Outdoor testing on European roads. Even though Peugeot’s full-body plastic wraps leave much to the imagination, it is obvious that the car rides on a jacked up suspension.

SPIED: 2012 Peugeot 508 Station Wagon?

Tuesday, July 6, 2010


Our colegas at Diariomotor got themselves a series of spy photos showing what they claim to be a heavily disguised prototype of the Peugeot 508 Station Wagon. The French carmaker teased the sedan version of the 508, which will replace both the 407 and 607 saloons, with the "5 by Peugeot" concept model at the 2010 Geneva Salon this past March.

New Peugeot 508 Flagship Sedan Snagged Undisguised During Filming?

Friday, June 25, 2010


A photograph of an undisguised 2011 Peugeot 508 sedan (or at least that's the most likely badge), allegedly captured during the filming of a promotional clip somewhere in Madrid, Spain, has been making the internet rounds today.

If it's the real deal, then it appears that Peugeot's designers have toned down the styling a little compared to the near-production concept model, called the "5 by Peugeot", that was showcased in Geneva earlier this year (see here).
