The Peugeot 307 is popular in the Middle East. Popular with rental fleets that is. And considering we in this region still get the Iranian-built 206, while Europe has had the 207 for a year now, we believe this all-new 308 you see here will not make it to the GCC before the end of the year.

That said, the new Peugeot 308 will be launched with a weak 120 hp 1.6-litre four-cylinder and some diesel motor for Europe. More engines are sure to follow.
