French firm Peugeot has
unveiled its latest entry into the highly competitive European small family
hatchback sector – and there are no prizes for guessing the name of the
successor to the 306 and 307.
The 308 will make its official debut
at September’s Frankfurt Motor Show and go on sale across the continent soon
after. Three and five-door versions – the models that make up the bulk of sales
– will be available from launch, but an estate and coupe-cabriolet will follow
in due course.
The car will be assembled at Peugeot
plants in Sochaux and Mulhouse, France.
The outgoing 307 – which arrived in
showrooms in 2001 – has been a massively successful product for Peugeot, selling
in excess of three million units worldwide.
