The British division of Peugeot announced today it will expand its 308 range by adding a special edition to the lineup that celebrates Peugeot’s 200th anniversary: the Millesim. There will be four models available powered by VTi petrol and HDi diesel engines.
The Peugeot 308 Millesim comes equipped with a free Nokia 5230 smartphone with Satellite Navigation and in-car mounting kit, 16 inch alloy wheels, Sports front grille, Sports rear bumper. The Peugeot 308 Millesim also features USB and Bluetooth connectivity, special badges and various other styling accents. Other features offered as standard include ABS, EBFD, EBA, ESP, driver airbag, passenger airbag, side airbags, curtain airbags, remote control central locking with deadlocks, electric front and rear windows, radio / single CD player, air-conditioning and front fog lights, among others.
For the petrol versions, the 308 Millesim is equipped with Peugeot’s class leading VTi petrol engines. Two engine options are available, a new Euro 5 1.4 litre 98 bhp, or a 1.6 litre 120 bhp version. Both engines benefit from Peugeot’s particularly innovative VTi technology which improves the engine’s overall efficiency, significantly reducing fuel consumption (particularly in phases of partial load) and, therefore, CO2 emissions. For HDi diesel versions, the 308 Millesim is powered by Peugeot’s 1.6 litre 90 and 110 bhp engines, both acknowledged for their driveability, performance and low running costs (62.7 mpg in the combined cycle and zero vehicle excise duty). An additive based diesel particulate filter system (FAP) is fitted as standard on the HDi 110 bhp engine.
The 308 Millesim benefits from Peugeot’s extensive experience and the latest technological advances to ensure safety of the highest order at all levels.
Inside, users will find an inclined design of the fascia panel and infotainment features such as the Peugeot Connect USB & Bluetooth that consists of a USB or jack plug socket to connect a portable music player and full Bluetooth phone connectivity. The 308 Millesim range will be priced from £16,245 on-the-road for the 1.4 VTi 98 version. As we previously reported, all models bought in June will also come with a free unlocked Nokia 5230 smart phone with in-built satellite navigation.
