Peugeot 308 1.6 HDI Premium
Content
I confess, when I first saw him, I myself faced similar thoughts. If the 308 was not a machine, but just an ordinary piece of clothing, I would have thought that Peugeot had a washing machine in which they managed to squeeze out a new 207 and a used 307, set the washing temperature to 40 degrees Celsius (not to shrink), choose program "refined" and finally get your hands on the gorgeous new 308.
Joke aside. The Tristoosem is new enough not to be confused with the rest of the Peugeot family. It's more consistent than the 307 (12mm lower and 53mm wider), bigger than the 207 in all respects, and the designers have taken care of one more thing, namely the stylistic features that vary depending on the chosen equipment package. This is ensured by the classic bumpers in the basic configuration (Confort Pack), in the Premium package, the front bumpers are replaced with sports ones, and in the richest Premium Pack, with the rear ones. So much for those of you who had no problem separating Tristoosmica from Tristosedmica to begin with.
However, everyone else will (hardly) stop worrying about them when you first open the door and look inside. These new and happy owners of Tristosedmics who are already passionately thinking about Tristoosmice will surely be delighted. Among the new additions, the grilles, which are now round and chrome-plated, are striking at first. On top of that, we also find two in the back, between the front seats.
The center console is flatter than the 307 for an extra sense of spaciousness, a completely new set of buttons for air conditioning, new and most of all more complex (but unfortunately less readable) graphics. sensors, when we talk about sophistication, materials also take care of that to a great extent. And by that we mean not only the leather in which the steering wheel and the gear lever are worn, starting with the Premium package, but also, or above all, the pleasantly soft material on the dashboard, just the smooth plastic that you feel on the inside of the door. and sturdy but not too rough stuff on the seats.
Another novelty that the 308 brings over its predecessor is a screen for unfastened seat belts mounted above the rearview mirror. Commendable! A total of four screens were found in the 308 test, which is a perfectly acceptable number for a driver considering two are for controlling the temperature of a two-way air conditioner. However, the screen between meters could be used even more and could also be downloaded to print data from the trip computer. This will reduce the main workload (at the top of the dashboard) and, above all, the driver will no longer have to choose between printing RDS messages and route data (on-board computer). There are several more similar errors (ic) in 308.
There are plenty of drawers and storage space (even for the rear passengers), but you won't find a suitable small size that's designed exclusively for a mobile phone. The audio system is overloaded with buttons, so it can be easy to use even for those older people who don't interact with computers every day, and older people will roll their eyes as they keep looking at the trunk. The inside edge is high (23 cm), which means that the loading height is also high (75 cm) - Peugeot says that for safety in a rear-end collision - but it is encouraging that, despite the normal-sized spare tire, which is slightly larger (7L) than the 307 and expandable with a 60:40 split and folding rear bench. Although the bottom is not completely flat.
Under sheet metal, 308 does not introduce any noticeable innovations. The platform is well known, transmission and engine are more powerful 1.6 HDi. So in practice it should be that on the road it behaves the same way as the 307. But it does not! Even when you get behind the wheel, you find that the feeling is different. Less "single" and more "wagon". This is best done with the lower (15mm) front seats. A cold morning with a temperature around zero does not cause problems for the engine. He hardly knows preheating, he announces himself instantly and not too loudly, but he is most pleased that after only a few hundred meters warm air begins to gently enter the cabin.
The fact that this is a modern product can also be concluded from the technical description: direct injection Common Rail, lightweight design, two camshafts, four valves per cylinder, charge air cooler, turbocharger (1 bar) with variable blade opening geometry, FAP Particulate filter provides purity of exhaust gases. It differs from the most modern diesel engines we meet on the roads today in only one thing; injection is still provided by the second generation Common Rail system with fuel injection pressures up to 25 bar. But in practice, you will not notice this.
The engine operates at the right torque even in the lowest operating range, responds quickly and decisively to driver commands, drinks moderately and provides a fairly wide operating range. In this regard, a five-speed manual transmission seems like a perfectly reasonable solution. But it's different when you turn onto the highway. At 130 km / h, the tachometer needle stops only at 2.800, which is not wrong in terms of engine wear, but becomes a disturbing noise that begins to penetrate the interior.
Those fathers who like to press the accelerator pedal more decisively while alone in the car will also calmly dream of a six-speed manual transmission. However, looking at the test Peugeot, it shouldn't seem strange. Despite having five doors, a mid-range diesel engine and an equipment package designed primarily for body care, the 308 handles corners surprisingly well.
This was achieved by the engineers with new, slightly widened tracks (30 mm in front and 16 in the rear), a newly tuned chassis and a steering gear that has only 2 turns from one end point to the other. They even performed so well that their settings are not tainted by Michelin-branded tires, not Pilot or Primacy, but Energy Saver. Don't worry, the opinions that were divided on these tire models in terms of economy and safety were completely unfounded on Tristoosmica.
According to Michelin, they were able to reduce rolling resistance by 20 percent, saving an average of 0 liters of fuel per 2 kilometers. We will only add that according to our measurements, 100 stopped at an almost record-breaking short distance. From a speed of 308 km / h to a complete stop, he needed only 100 meters.
Still not sure if it is new or just refurbished? In truth, you are not the only one. During the test, it even occurred to me that a teenager passing by, clearly addicted to computers, jokingly asked me if it was that I was sitting down, it was a Peugeot Tristo seven point five tenths. I didn't answer it, but I thought, yes, if I look at it from a technical point of view, maybe already. But after what it offers to the driver and passengers, they correctly clicked the 308 mark on it.

Overall rating (346/420)
The 308 isn't as revolutionary as the 307 when it hit the roads, but it has come a long way compared to it. Thanks to new design approaches, it has become even more beautiful, more pleasant inside, ergonomics, safety and materials are better, and its location is surprisingly good (308 is on the same platform as 307).
Exterior (14/15)
The 308 is less radical in design than the 307, but better than it actually is.
Interior (115/140)
There is no talk of spaciousness. There is not enough legroom in the back only for the large ones.
Engine, transmission (32
/ 40)The five-speed (imprecise) transmission is less impressive in the engine.
Driving performance (83
/ 95)There aren't many changes, the tracks are wider, but the 308 grips well on the road.
Performance (26/35)
When usability and economy are at the fore, this engine is at the very top of the range.
Security (34/45)
The basic equipment is rich, the brakes are top notch, but you still have to pay extra for the ESP.
