Moving towards to the safety features, six airbags, ABS, EBD, traction control, hill assist, and electronic brake assist are provided.

The facelifted Peugeot 308 comes with a brand new bonnet which has a ‘lion’ badging. The vehicle features LED headlamps along with DRLs at the front. Coming to the rear, the fuel filler cover becomes square-shaped and LED tail lights are provided. The car is equipped with 18-inch ‘Black Sapphire’ alloy wheels.
