Peugeot 308 Replacement Model

Peugeot to launch 308 replacement model, code_named as T91 with new engines in 2013? Probably "309" (already been used before) will not be resurrected for the new 30-series while the "301" name was also used by Peugeot in the 1930s.

The 308 replacement is expected be a much more elegant car than its predecessor with more compact proportions, a reduction in body weight, a higher-quality interior and a range of new engines.

New 30-series

According to a spy-report, the T91 is shorter than the current 308, slightly wider and will also be subtly lower than the 308, a feature that will be emphasised in its styling.

Sources claim that there will be no three-door version. Instead, the five-door will be given sportier styling to compensate for the lack of a three-door. There will also be a five-door SW estate (T92) and a four-door saloon (T93) in some markets.

Another model absent from the new 30-series line-up will be the CC coupé-cabriolet model. That car will be replaced by a retractable hard-top version of the Peugeot RCZ, a car based on the current 308 platform.

RCZ cc? - and no more "cc-version" for the new 30-series.
