Peugeot 108 gains safety systems & new engines
The changes see the Active City Brake and Lane Departure Warning System now available as an option on Allure and Feline badge levels.
Active City Brake alerts the driver to a possible collision when travelling at less than 20mph and, if necessary, operates the emergency brake to completely avoid shunt situations or reduce the severity of an accident in the event that the driver does not react in time.
Lane Departure Warning System, activated at 31mph, judges the position of the vehicle in relation to the lines on major roads, alerting the driver via sound and dashboard light should the lines be crossed.
New, more efficient Euro6 compliant engines are also introduced as a direct replacement for previous engines for no extra cost. These include: the 1.0-litre 68hp with 95g/km of CO2, 1.0-litre 2-Tronic 68hp with 97g/km of CO2 and 1.2-litre PureTech 82hp with 99g/km of CO2.
Eight body colours are also offered with the all-new ‘French Blue’ option, plus six new two-tone paint options.
