- Their won’t be a second Peugeot 309 (This model was launched to replace the Talbot Horizon). The Peugeot 308 replacement  won’t be called 309 but 308. This is the first time that a Peugeot sedan is being named after its elder. In the not so distant future all Peugeot cars should follow this patent.

- This new 308 is very different to the old one. Its bodywork is very much alike as that of the new VW Golf VII, lower than its elder by about 4cm. It has been equipped with the all EMP2 platform recently launched with the Citroen Picasso C4.

- Presented at the next Frankfurt Motor Show in October 2013, the 308 will be launched shortly after the show in the autumn.

- The new 308 is to entirely manufactured in the Sochaux plant, alongside with the 3008, 5008 and the Citroen DS5.

- The last version was built both in Sochaux and in Mulhouse, only the Mulhouse plant is monopolised by the production of the Peugeot 208, the Peugeot 2008, the Citroen C4 and the Citroen DS4.
