The leaked pictures are somewhat murky as well as dark, so it’s difficult to nail down every style tweak. It seems as though the car’s front end is where many of the modifications will be coming though – around the back, it’s not possible to area numerous considerable style tweaks, aside from mildly revised taillight signatures.
As for the interior, any type of modifications aren’t imagined in the leaked images. The dashboard as well as centre console design stays the exact same – not necessarily a poor thing, provided we’ve applauded the 308 in the past for its stylish cabin with extremely few buttons. Analogue dials look set to stay though – Peugeot’s second-generation i-Cockpit isn’t present in the leaked pictures.
It’s not possible to speculate on any type of powertrain modifications from the evidence of the pictures, however the 308 facelift as well as full technical info is likely to show up before the second half of 2017.
If these photos are real, do you believe Peugeot has done a great task re-styling the 308? let us understand in the comments.
