Peugeot’s 308 hatch has already been awarded three prizes in just one year (the Golden Steering Wheel, a Guinness Record, and Engine of the Year). The 308 packs the best technology and design and offers an intense driving experience. This is also combined with one of the lowest environmental impact levels.
2007 Golden Steering Wheel Award
Since its launch, the Peugeot 308 has been awarded the 2007 Goldene Lenkrad (Golden Steering Wheel) in Berlin for the compact hatch cars category. This prestigious award has been presented since 1976 by the major German weekly Bild am Sonntag. Upon the completion of in-depth tests and examinations, the judging panel declared that the Peugeot 308 was the model that best fulfilled criteria relating to style, design, comfort, road handling, safety, environmental friendliness, quality, etc
2007 1.6 International Engine of the Year
The reason for this feat is the attention devoted to the development of this engine, which is the result of co-operation between PSA Peugeot Citroën and the BMW Group.
Guinness Record for Fuel Economy
The 308, which is fitted with the 1.6 l HDi 80 kW engine with an FAP dust filter, broke the Guinness record for fuel savings with an average consumption of 3.13 l per 100 km and CO2 emissions limited to 85 g/km. It managed to travel 1,919 km running on one full 60-litre tank. Environmental efficiency was a major concern during the development of the 308. One of the development criteria was the FAP dust filter, and a lot of focus was added to increase the vehicles recyclability, which now amounts to 99% of the weight of the 308.
