The cabriolet comes with the same engine as the 308 Turbo, 3008 and 5008, a 1.6-liter four-cylinder with twin-scroll turbocharging and direct injection, that develops 156 hp and 240 Nm (177 lb-ft) of torque. Power goes to the front wheels via a six-speed automatic adaptive transmission with Tiptronic and Sport mode.
