988 Used Peugeot 308 cars for sale

The third generation 308 is the first from the company's lineup to include the new logo, featuring a lion's head. It also earned some styling features borrowed from the larger 3008, such as a big mesh grille giving it an aggressive appearance. The company added some design elements that made it more aerodynamic and reduced its drag-resistance factor for better fuel economy on motorways.

Inside the cabin, Peugeot went with a minimalistic dashboard and a low-mounted steering wheel. Several displays were included to modernise the interior and a split-folding bench was added in the rear.

With the release of the second generation, Peugeot made the 308 more practical. Its weight was reduced by 140kg with the new platform and a narrower grille was added. With this update, the boot size also increased to make it more accommodating. In 2014, the GT was released, while the GTi followed one year later.

In 2017, Peugeot issued a refresh but there wasn't a lot to change, considering that the 308 won the title of Car of the Year in Europe previously. The only recognisable update on the outside was the LED daytime running lights, while the interior earned a more advanced infotainment system. The GT adopted new headlights, taillights and bumpers, while the GTi had a lower stance with the ground clearance being reduced by another half inch.

As a brand-new model, the 308 five-door hatchback instantly became a top contender among compacts. Built on the same platform as the 307, the updated version had unique styling that made it more modern and appealed to a broader market. Sticking with similar touches, Peugeot included the feline-style headlights, but the grille was moved to the bottom of the bumper.

Bucket seats adorned the front of the 308 and it had a high seating position to give everyone plenty of legroom. Gauges and interior touches closely resemble those from the Volkswagen Golf, which added to the model's popularity.
