标致近日宣布将为第二代308掀背车提供PureTech e-THP 1.2升三缸涡轮增压汽油引擎，该引擎功率为96千瓦/130马力。法国汽车、摩托车和自行车技术联盟（UTAC）在西班牙Almeria环形赛道所进行的测试中，搭载该引擎的308百公里油耗仅为2.8升。该车搭载六速变速箱，加满51.4升油箱后行驶了32小时后耗光一箱油，行驶距离达到1124.7公里。当然，在实际交通环境下，该车的油耗不可能那么低，但标致表示，该车作为搭载汽油引擎的最省油车型树立了新的标杆。而在柴油引擎方面，该车将搭载一台1.6升BlueHDi四缸引擎，功率为88千瓦/120马力，百公里油耗3.1升，每公里二氧化碳排放量82克。标致已经宣布他们将增加产量以满足强劲需求，自去年10月1日开始在线销售以来，目前已经收到6万辆订单。

 

Peugeot 308 gains 130 HP PureTech 3-cylinder THP engine, does 1,124 miles with a tank of gas

Peugeot has introduced a small three-cylinder 1.2-liter turbocharged gasoline engine called PureTech e-THP in the second generation 308 hatchback.

 

Customers can now place an order for a Peugeot 308 equipped with a three-cylinder 1.2-liter PureTech e-THP turbocharged gasoline engine which delivers 130 HP (96 kW). Under the supervision of the authority UTAC (Union Technique de l'Automobile, Motocycle et Cycle), such a variant was tested at the Almeria circuit in Spain and managed to return an impressive 82.5 mpg US (99.1 mpg UK or 2.8 liters / 100 km). The car came with a six-speed gearbox and was driven for more than 32 hours to empty the 51.4-liter fuel tank and in the process it covered a distance of 1,124.7 miles (1,810 km).

 

Needless to say, in real world traffic conditions the three-cylinder 308 is considerably less frugal but Peugeot says the model represents a "benchmark for its sector for most economical vehicle with a petrol engine." On the diesel side, the French marque has a thrifty 4-cylinder, 1.6-liter BlueHDi with 120 HP (88 kW) which in normal conditions returns 75.8 mpg US (91.1 mpg UK or 3.1 liters / 100 km) and has 82 g/km CO2 emissions.

 

Peugeot announced this week they will increase production to keep up with a strong demand as they have already received 60,000 orders since the car was shown online last October.
