Inside story<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

The all-black cabin of the 308 is cloaked in a rich mix of materials, satin chrome dashboard trim and interior door handles and plenty of hi-tech equipment. \u00a0It features Peugeot\u2019s i-Cockpit that comprises four elements: a small steering wheel, head-up display (HUD), high centre console and touchscreen. And it all makes perfect sense, providing an insulated, cocooned feel to the cabin area.\n<\/p>\n

The small-diameter steering wheel\u00a0has been redesigned with two flats to make it easier to grip and provide the driver with improved visibility and legroom. While you can see the instrument cluster over the steering wheel \u2013 rather than peering through it \u2013 it does necessitate a little manual seat adjustment for tall drivers. It also requires less steering effort when parking and manoeuvring around corners in town.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t <\/p>\n

The reconfigurable instrument cluster offers five different display modes, controlled from a button on the steering wheel. The read-outs are clear and crisp.<\/p>\n

Positioned on the raised centre console is a ten-inch tablet-style touchscreen that is equipped with\u00a0capacitive technology and angled toward the driver. The touchscreen displays the usual vehicle information \u2013 such as trip data and fuel economy \u2013 and images from the rearview parking camera.<\/p>\n

Beneath the touchscreen is the carmaker\u2019s trademark chrome piano keys to control the radio, HVAC (subsequently using cabin temperature sliders on the touchscreen), sat-nav, vehicle parameters and phone and mobile applications.\n<\/p>\n

Five trim levels are offered: Active Premium, Allure, Allure Premium, GT and GT Premium. Comfort and convenience features fitted to our top-drawer GT Premium include automatic dual-zone climate control, power-folding heated wing mirrors, electric parking brake, parking sensors, leather steering wheel with red stitch detail and \u2018GT\u2019 emblem and sports-style heated front seats with Mistral leather effect and matching red stitching.\n<\/p>\n

Size-wise, the boxy-shaped boot space provides a capacity of 660 litres with the 40\/20\/40 back seats in the upright position; 1,775 litres with rear seats folded flat. Continuing the space theme, cubby holes are also wide, deep and plentiful plus map pockets on the sculpted backs of the front seats. Just one cupholder in the front console though and two in the back.\n<\/p>\n

Advanced driver assistance systems<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

In the ADAS department, the 308 comes with a suite of clever driver assistance technologies to help steer you away from trouble. It includes cruise control and speed limiter, lane-keeping assist, speed limit and traffic sign recognition and recommendation, driver attention warning, intelligent speed adaptation, active safety brake with pedestrian and cyclist detection and an acoustic vehicle alerting system (PHEV models only)\n<\/p>\n

Other new technologies include:\n<\/p>\n
