Furthermore, the average fuel consumption was reduced to 5.3 liters per 100 kilometers; here he comes now from 139 g CO2 per kilometer. The 308 SW HDi FAP 110 with 109 hp now emits 130 rather than 134 g of CO2 per kilometer. This is due to the use of low rolling resistance tires. The 150 -hp 1.6 -150- THP engine consumes due to a new six-speed manual transmission and low rolling resistance tires after the facelift 7.0 liters per 100 kilometers.

The engine range will be expanded to a more economical engine: The 1.6 e-HDi Peugeot celebrated its premiere ( at Citroën some time to have ) just now in the Peugeot 508 and the future will also drive its smaller brother. The output remains at 112 horsepower. There he is, unlike the 508, also available with a manual transmission and only available with the automatic transmission coupled ESG. Although this does sacrificing comfort with it, is in terms of efficiency but its better than the manual switch. Together with the stop -start system achieved the 308 e - HDI ESG with exceptional fuel consumption of 3.7 liters per 100 kilometers. With manual transmission, the engine 200 milliliters of diesel consumed more at the same distance - and thus is no longer under the 100 gram CO2 mark, which is able to undercut toughened version with 98 grams of CO2 per kilometer.

Prices (as of December 2011) start for the five-door now at € 17,050. The SW is to have from € 18,250 for the coupe and convertible are at least € 25,950.
