From all angles, as we like, so we have hunted again the Peugeot 308 Cross, the third variant of the new French compact. Some interesting spy photos that allow us to see more clearly its proportions and some of its most significant details in this more than advanced prototype.
The first spy photos of the third variant of new peugeot 308 they were a real bombshell, because time is passing and we had no indication of seeing one of their prototypes on the street. Which would not be strange because when Peugeot did not want a new model to be seen, it has not done so. But just a few days ago we were able to see the first prototypes in an advanced state of development sandwiched in a parking lot among other vehicles.
However, these new spy photos show a new prototype rolling in the facilities of one of the component suppliers, given that other very different camouflages of the Lion brand can be seen. But focusing on the unprecedented French crossover, we can see that the influence of the compact is more than remarkable: the front section is the same as that of the five-door model and that of the station wagonas well as the rear light clusters, the shapes of the bumper and even the arrangement of the rear reflectors and the reversing light is the same.

Only the shape of the roof line differs, shared with the 308 and 308 SW up to the front doors, and completely new from this point, tapering very progressively to the tailgate, creating a suggestive and attractive coupé shape from the rear doors, although this part is camouflaged from more distorting the real view. This section of the body It will be the one that will truly differentiate itself from the rest of the versions, and that, together with a greater height of the bodywork to the groundwill capture the vast majority of customer gazes.
The indiscreet targets have tried to get as close as possible, almost also capturing a view of the interior, but it has been impossible to do so with greater clarity. And to top it off, and as usual in the French, it has a layer of canvas on the dashboard that reveals the information more interesting at every moment, to avoid that in an oversight like this, you can capture the entire interior. But we already warned you that there will be no great news in the cabin, except the least space for the heads of the passengers in the rear seats. There will be no mystery inside, but there will be in the name, shuffling different options, from 4008 to 308 Cross, not being able to rule out another new name.
The range of engines for this new crossover will focus exclusively on the most powerful gasoline versions and plug-in hybrids. The sportier character of the exterior also wants to be transferred to the mechanical plane, with which Peugeot has planned the commercial launch only with the most powerful versions of the compact, all front-wheel drive and with 8-speed automatic transmission. The new model will be presented, according to information from France, next month May and going on sale in the second half of the year, around next fall.
