Peugeot names the models of their cars in the x0y format; x describes the size of the car (and hence its class), whereas y describes the model number (the higher the number, the newer the model). Therefore, a Peugeot 406 is bigger and newer than a Peugeot 305.

This general rule has its exceptions, for instance with y=9, which has been created before y=5.

The all new Peugeot 308 arrived recently and is now available for test drive.

The aim with the 308 was to produce a car that set new levels of style, quality and efficiency.

Such was the determination of Peugeot Design Director Keith Ryder and his team that they spent years refining the design, then testing it, and then refining it a little more. Then, (in case this wasn't sufficient!), they road tested it for 1.2 million miles!

The result is a car Peugeot are extremely proud of; a car that is designed to consider the environment, a car with a new level of quality, a car that's great to drive.
