CKD Peugeot 308 - Sneak Peek
Anything launched by Peugeot is worth waiting for. It's because Peugeot has a knack for incorporating extraordinary design ideas into mainstream cars.
The huge windshield, pointy face and stepped butt all add up to a futuristic shape that hides its height well. The front end features the familiar Peugeot gaping-mouth grille and catlike headlights.
Interior quality is improved, and there is more space for driver and passengers. Cabin materials include a nice rubbery dashboard which is soft to the touch, unlike 206 hard plastics. The upper door sills are also covered in thin rubber, but they simply cover hard plastic underneath. At least all armrests are padded to keep things comfortable. Rear legroom is ample for the class.The good-sized luggage area is shorter than that of a sedan, but the available height makes up for it. There are small storage spaces around the cabin.
The CKD 308 THP has a 140hp 1.6-litre 4-cylinder with a turbocharger tacked on. The turbo makes itself heard with slight whooshing sounds. On paper it clocks off a 0-to-100 kph in less than 10 seconds, which is in my opinion better than any equivalent car - thanks to the impressive 240Nm of torque constantly available from 1,400rpm all the way to 5,000rpm.
The 308 THP is more like a budget racer - at around RM111k it is affordable! - comes standard with add-ons that Ahbeng, drivers of Japanese econo-boxes usually spend heavily on upgrading!
The 120hp VTi [non-Turbo] shall be around RM96k which is the logical alternative for the less spirited drivers.

New 308 Design Concept
The 308 embodies in its own way the characteristic Peugeot genes . The strongly contoured lines of the “nose” of the car serve as the focal point and create a dynamic and flowing “V” profile which follows back from the bonnet into the front windscreen pillars.
The particularly feline looking front headlights extend harmoniously along the bonnet profile. Four “circular lights” with an attractive technical finish give the vehicle a “look” that is both bright and eye catching, and are clearly visible through the clear headlamp lense.
The profile of the 308 creates a dynamic impression of movement, with elaborately styled panels and flowing design of the windows. The lines at the rear of the vehicle help to identify it. The large wrap around lower bumper – and large rear lights emphasises the wider rear profile and the large curved rear tailgate glass.
The interior style of the 308, exploits as far as possible the space made available by the semi-tall architecture. The objective is probably to give the interior a very prestigious feel, both in terms of the design and the materials used.
The centre console is designed to be very compact, with large areas reserved for distinctive materials both in terms of appearance and touch (the upper part of the console, covered with soft touch high quality material, can also be fully trimmed in leather). Each element (air conditioning panel, radio, storage compartment or CD auto-changer) is also particularly well integrated.
- The door panels with their tapering profile mirror the exterior of the vehicle.
- Chrome detailing enhances the overall effect: air vent surrounds and instrument panel dials, air conditioning and radio control buttons, door handles, etc.
- The exterior theme of the “V-shaped bonnet” is echoed subtly in certain interior details, such as the trim circling the gear lever, the design of the upper part of the seat cushions or indeed the shape of the front courtesy light.
..... creating a luxurious and welcoming feeling, flattering the senses of all the occupants.
