Peugeot has updated its 308 range with a new digital i-Cockpit, which is a combo of a digital instrument cluster and central infotainment screen. Styling revisions are rather subtle and barely distinguishable.

However, there’s a new three-coat paint called Vertigo Blue. There are new 16-inch Zircon and 17-inch Boca optional wheel designs too. The range-topping trims can get a Black pack option, which exchanges chrome parts to glossy black and gets 18-inch diamond-plated aluminium rims in Sapphire Black with Black Mist varnish.

The big update is, of course, the new i-Cockpit digital instrument cluster with 6 display modes. It incorporates the latest graphics from the recently updated models such as 208 and 2008.
