In the face of hot five-door hatches like the
Ford Focus ST,
Volkswagen Golf R and
Renault Megane GT 220 (to say nothing of the Renaultsport Megane), it's high time that French manufacturer
Peugeot added some life to its C-segment entry, the
308.
This is the
308 GT, and while it won't pose a threat to hotter models like the Focus ST or Golf R, the availability of gas, diesel, five-door-hatch and station wagon varieties should prove appealing to a wider range of customers than the aforementioned challengers.
That gas mill is already pretty familiar to both American and European consumers, as it's been found in a number of Mini products (not to mention a wide array of vehicles from PSA). The 1.6-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder packs 202 horsepower in this particular Pug, while 210 pound-feet of torque are dispatched to the front wheels courtesy of a six-speed automatic or a six-speed manual. The turbodiesel offering, meanwhile, displaces 2.0 liters and returns 177 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque.
Take a look up top for our full batch of images of the newest member of the 308 family, and then head
