This is the refreshed and impressively frugal Peugeot 308, a car we’ve already tested on the Continent. Now we’ve got the 308 in the UK to see how it copes with Britain’s battered black top.
First, some details; the 1.6-litre e-HDi-engined 308 achieves upwards of 62mpg and emits 118g/km, which means the car sits in tax bracket C.
More interesting is the 308’s clever e-HDi micro hybrid system, which uses a 5V super capacitor to store electricity and helps the car’s regular battery restart the engine during stop-start periods.
