All the dynamic and emotional strengths of the original Peugeot 308 have been retained and strengthened further with the introduction of more efficient engines and Peugeot’s innovative micro-hybrid e-HDi Stop & Start technology.

Peugeot’s micro-hybrid e-HDi Stop & Start technology is the latest generation technology and combined with Peugeot’s class leading 1.6 litre HDi FAP 112 Euro 5 diesel engine reduces CO2emissions to 98 g/km. This engine option will also be available with either a six-speed manual gearbox or a six-speed electronically controlled manual gearbox (EGC). This will give the New Peugeot 308 the lowest emissions in its segment.

All models feature air conditioning, ESP (Electronic Stability Programme), ABS, EBFD, EBA, front and rear electric windows with child security, remote control central door locking with deadlocks and six SMART safety airbags.

To ensure the New Peugeot 308 is as environmentally efficient as possible all factors affecting CO2emissions have been optimised;

Fitment of new 16” ultra low rolling resistance tyres
Optimisation of all engine options (VTi, THP petrol and HDi diesel engines to Euro5)
Cx of 0.28 for the low consumption models – Record for this segment
This also enables the New Peugeot 308 HDi FAP 92 model, fitted with a five-speed manual gearbox, to emit CO2 emissions of only 110 g/km.


PEUGEOT 207 WITH ADDED VERVE

207 HDi

Two new engines added to the Peugeot 207 Verve range
Three new exciting colours – Aluminium, Shark Grey and Moroccan Red
Available in three and five door hatchback
From £12,330.62 on-the-road
The popular Peugeot 207 Verve will be available with two new engine options and in three new exciting exterior colours, from January 2010.

The Peugeot 207 Verve, currently available with a 1.4 litre 8v 75 bhp petrol and 1.4 litre HDi 70 diesel engines, will be joined by a new 1.4 VTi 95 bhp petrol and 1.6 HDi 90 diesel engine, in January 2010.

To highlight the added ‘Verve’, three new exterior body colours are also introduced to the range. Five colours are now available with the introduction of Aluminium, Shark Grey and Moroccan Red to the already available, Flamenco Red and Onyx Black.

The popularity of the 207 Verve is due to its comprehensive standard equipment, which includes: Power steering, driver airbag, passenger airbag, side airbag, remote control central locking with deadlocks, three rear three point seat belts, 2/3 – 1/3 split folding rear seat, adjustable front head restraints, steering column adjustable for reach and rake, stereo radio / single CD player, driver seat height adjustment, ABS, EBFD, EBA, electric air inlet flap (HDi models only), body coloured door handles / body side mouldings, chrome insert to gear knob, lion grey interior door handles, white instrument dials, trip computer, electrically operated / heated door mirrors, manual air-conditioning, 15” Monaco alloy wheels, front fog lights, Verve badges and interior floor mats…

For music lovers the new 207 Verve is also fitted as standard with Peugeot Connect USB with Bluetooth. This system enables a Bluetooth 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.

The system also includes a USB Box which consists of a connection box located in the centre console with a USB connector and jack socket, all protected by a hinged cover. Once connected, an MP3 player or an iPod can be operated via the radio controls or controls under the steering wheel, with the units screen information also shown on the car’s multi-function display.

The unit is also capable of “streaming” music via the Bluetooth function, making it possible to play recorded music from the memory of a Bluetooth phone or from a portable music player equipped with a Bluetooth module

To help maximise the fuel efficiency of the 207 Verve, the Euro 5 1.4 litre 8v 75 bhp model is also fitted with a Gear Shift indicator (GSI).

This feature helps the driver to adopt a more economical driving style by indicating the optimal gear to be selected, thereby ensuring the lowest possible fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. The indicator is located in the odometer and consists of a rising vertical arrow indicating the best time to change gear. The driver, however, is responsible for following the system’s indications.

The best gear, or “target gear” is determined according to a number of parameters.

Vehicle speed
Gear engaged
Engine temperature and engine speed
Driving style (position of the accelerator pedal determines the sought-after level of performance)
The indicator arrow remains visible until the driver follows the suggested recommendation.

The 207 Verve range starts at an on-the-road price of £12,330.62 for the three door 1.4 litre 8v Euro 5 petrol model.


PEUGEOT INTRODUCES THE NEW BIPPER TEPEE

Bipper Tepee

On sale now from £9,995 on-the-road
Available in two trim levels
Comprehensive standard safety equipment on all models
Easy to drive, compact and economical
V.E.D just £35.00 on HDi 70 versions
The Bipper Tepee is the latest addition to Peugeot’s growing multi-space range of family vehicles. Practical, easy to drive, compact and economical, it offers unrivalled versatility. Its innovative, friendly and dynamic style will appeal to young families in search of a car that has multiple uses and is a little non-conformist, clever and frugal.

It has five seats, a generous load capacity of 884 litres and compact dimensions making it ideal for busy urban areas. Also, with its low emissions it benefits from a vehicle excise duty of just £35 and combined fuel consumption of 62.8 mpg with the 1.4 litre HDi 70 bhp diesel engine.

With an overall length of 3.959 metres and a width of 1.684 metres or 1.816 metres with the door mirrors folded, it is clearly designed for urban driving where ease of driving and practicality are a necessity. Its height of 1.72 metres or 1.78 metres with roof bars also ensures trouble-free access to underground car parks.

The load area has a capacity of 356 litres under the rear parcel shelf which can be expanded to 884 litres with the 60 / 40 split rear bench seat folded or 2.5m3 with the rear seat removed. The rear load space is also very easily accessed under all circumstances, thanks to the two sliding side doors or, indeed, the glazed rear tailgate. Even the narrowest of parking places won’t prevent you getting into the car or gaining access to objects stored in the boot.

The Bipper Tepee has been designed with urban driving in mind. To carry out any manoeuvre in complete safety in urban traffic, large door mirrors are provided. They can be adjusted electrically and are heated in conjunction with the heated rear screen de-misting function. To assist in tricky parking manoeuvres an optional rear parking assistance system is available. For passenger convenience, one-touch electric front windows are fitted as standard and manual air-conditioning is available either as standard or as an option.

The Bipper Tepee is fitted as standard with a Radio / CD player with MP3 compatibility. An optional hands-free phone kit allows a Bluetooth® mobile phone to be used inside the vehicle in complete safety.

To ensure the Bipper Tepee is very easy to drive it has an optimised suspension and a turning circle diameter of only 9.95 metres between kerbs. Hydraulic power steering helps the driver to nip in and out of urban traffic and makes it easier to access tight parking spots. ABS is fitted as standard combined with ventilated front disc brakes and rear drum brakes.

The Bipper is fitted as standard with 15” inch steel wheels and 185/65R15 tyres. The spare wheel is located in the rear part of the floor and is a full size spare wheel.

The Bipper Tepee is available with two engine options, a 1.4 litre petrol engine and a 1.4 litre HDi diesel engine. Both engines ensure the vehicle has appropriate performance levels while also reducing fuel consumption and ensuring the lowest possible CO2 emissions.

The 1.4 litre petrol engine is fitted with a 5-speed manual gearbox: the 1.4 litre HDi diesel engine is available with either a conventional 5 speed manual gearbox or electronically controlled 5 speed manual gearbox, perfect for use in busy urban areas. Based on the standard manual gearbox, it uses an electro-hydraulic control system which ensures smooth and flexible gear changes and allows the driver to select either manual mode (gear changes controlled by the driver via the gear lever), or automatic mode (no gear changes carried out by the driver).

The Bipper Tepee is also a safe environment for all its occupants due to the comprehensive range of secondary safety equipment which compliments the specially reinforced structure.

All models are fitted as standard with driver, passenger and side airbags combined with front inertia reel seatbelts at the front (with pre-tensioners and force limiters to control the physical forces to which the occupants are exposed) and three inertia reel seat belt for the rear occupants. Since it is both necessary and compulsory to wear a seat belt, a warning lamp on the instrument panel reminds occupants to wear their seat belt and an audible warning is activated if the driver’s seat belt is unfastened.

Children, who will often be the first inside the Bipper Tepee, are especially well catered for with both the outer rear seats equipped with Isofix child safety seat mounting points. The passenger air bag can also be de-activated if required, enabling a child safety seat to be fitted to the front passenger seat.

Finally, to complete the safety devices, an “inertia” cut-off safety system detects any sharp deceleration and, in the event of a collision, instantly disconnects the electrical power and fuel supply, thereby eliminating any possible fire risk.

The Bipper Tepee is available in two trim levels S and Outdoor. The S is available with either a 1.4 litre petrol engine or a 1.4 HDi diesel engine. Standard equipment consists of: driver, passenger and side airbags, ABS, one touch electric front windows, electric heated door mirrors, remote control central locking, radio / CD player with MP3 functionality, power steering, twin glazed sliding side doors, height adjustable driver seat with armrest, rake and reach adjustable steering wheel, 60 / 40 split folding and removable rear bench seat, rear seat head restraints, 15” steel wheels with “Sketch” wheel trims …

The Outdoor builds on this standard specification and is also available with both engine options. It adds the following standard equipment; suspension raised by 15 mm, larger body sill protection mouldings and side mouldings, <0} an under–body engine protection plate, lower front panel trim, roof bars, front fog lights, manual air-conditioning…
