What is the Peugeot 308 1.6 THP 156 Feline?
The Peugeot 308 is the French company's five-door hatchback launching into one of the most competitively fought mainstream segments: the C-sector, where it rivals such powerhouses as the class-leading VW Golf, mainstream giants from Ford (the evergreen Focus) and Vauxhall (Astra), not to mention upstart brands from Asia offering improving product and keen pricing (think Kia Cee'd and Hyundai i30).
The 308's badge follows a well-worn path, tracing its lineage all the way back to the Peugeot 304 of 1969. Expectations here are high: the new 308 was named European Car of the Year at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show. Read our full Peugeot 308 review to find out how it fares..
