Peugeot 308 proves a versatile choice
Written By Faye Sunderland Published On: Sep 01 2010If you are looking for a new car this September, then one handy and versatile model to consider is the Peugeot 308 hatchback. Newly updated in January this year, the model features great kit as standard, gaining ESP across the range as standard except for the the base Urban model. The standard fitment of ESP gave the new 308 added appeal to fleets and came on top of the already impressive safety equipment of the 308: traction control (ASR) and stability control (CDS). The ESP can be disconnected for enhanced traction on difficult road surfaces and is reconnected automatically above a speed of 31 mph.
Peugeot Connect USB & Bluetooth was also introduced on models across the range. This new and innovative in-car-entertainment system is linked to the MP3 compatible radio / CD player and provides full Bluetooth functionality. The inclusion of Bluetooth enables a compatible mobile phone to be paired with the car. Once paired, the phone can be operated via the remote controls on the steering column. High-quality telephone communications can, therefore, be carried out in complete safety using both the car’s speakers and inbuilt microphone.
A more efficient Euro 5 HDi 140 bhp diesel engine was also introduced into the 308 hatchback and SW range to replace the current Euro 4 136 bhp engine fitted with a manual gearbox.
These changes made the 308 attractive to both fleet and personal users and broaden the appeal of the model. Now giving its competitors a run for their money, the 308 can be found on some fantastic contract hire deals thanks to its high value equipment levels, excellent safety features and low running cost plus its competitive pricing.
One example of a great car leasing deal on the 308, has to be from Chambers Motor Group, which offers the 308 S HDi 90ps 5 door with free Nokia 5230 phone including sat nav for just £162 per month (business users only, personal leasing deals available on request). This great price is based on a 6+35, 10,000 miles per annum, non maintained business user contract.
