After Volkswagen and Land Rover have bragged about designing distinct new Scirocco and Defender models, Peugeot also said they're planning on a "very different" 308 hatchback.
We don't know what wrong with these companies, but they might have stumbled upon a new marketing scheme which is no longer about carrying the same design for decades. However, Peugeot's strategy involves creating a next-generation 308 that will ditch the "halfway between a saloon and a hatch" look to become more of a hatchback.

The new 308 will be "very different front he current car", Peugeot's product boss Laurent Blanchet told Autocar, with the French company looking to bring its C-segment vehicle closer to the Volkswagen Golf and the Ford Focus.

Furthermore, the 308, which will reportedly be inspired by the Onyx concept and the classic 504 Coupe, is slated to be the first Peugeot built on PSA's new EMP2 platform.
