Peugeot 308 Sedan

Peugeot 3o8 Sedan [by Dongfeng Peugeot of China] was launched on Jan 25th...

... unfortunately in China it is called Peugeot 4o8.

Looks more civilised front design than the hatch and not too bad rear end too...

Obviously this car is more spacious than 407, especially for shoulders and leg rooms for rear passengers.

really nice write ups, very informative and entertaining too.

Hope you carry on.

Just one question though, you say the 308 ECU 'learns' our driving style. That is really intriguing.

I've booked a 308Turbo and expect it to arrive b4 CNY. Nominally it is for my wife, but of course I'd like to taste the power from time to time.

So whose driving style will the car adapt to?

Thanks for any info you can dish out.

Hi Asri,
True. Getting around with 308 AL-4 Adaptive Auto Transmission [AAT] is just like a love affair.

The AAT can "learn" and adapt to the driver's style, altering shift points and other transmission functions to produce the most efficient operation to individual driving style.

So I take it it will adapt to the most frequent driver?

I don't see how it can differentiate one drive from another.

Wan A. Hadi (one.D) said...

Yes... but after switching off the the engine and restarting it will reset and start the new love affair all over again... no worry.

The up and down shifts will be 'tailored' to either spirited or economy driving style.

For instance if u floor the accelerator pedal quickly during acceleration, the up_shift will take place at high rpm [as high as the red_line] to optimise the power band.

Really? That's terrific.

Thanks for the info.

btw, I just called Lee Motors KB (the agent for Peugeot in Kelantan). My car's arrival date is still unknown. Something to do with red colour not being available.

Sure hope the colour matches the brochure and photos. Guess I should've bought in KL, but it was too much hassle to go down so frequently.

tq again.

Will be driving to Kelantan during CNY [14~17th Jan]. Wanna have a TT there?

Last TT was at PBC during last Raya
