COVENTRY, UK -- May 11, 2015: The chic 108, already exceptional value for money in terms of technology, connectivity and features, is now available with Active City Brake and Lane Departure Warning System as an option on Allure and Feline badge levels.

Active City Brake alerts the driver to a possible collision when travelling at less than 20mph and, if necessary, operates the emergency brake to completely avoid shunt situations or reduce the severity of an accident in the event that the driver does not react in time.

Lane Departure Warning System, activated at 31mph, judges the position of the vehicle in relation to the lines on major roads, alerting the driver via sound and dashboard light should the lines be crossed.

New Euro6 compliant engines are also introduced as a direct replacement for previous engines at no increase in cost to the customer, bringing greater efficiency.  These include: the 1.0-litre 68hp with 95g/km of CO2, 1.0-litre 2-Tronic 68hp with 97g/km of CO2 and 1.2-litre PureTech 82hp with 99g/km of CO2.

Eight vibrant body colours offer a colourful choice, including the all new metallic ‘French Blue’ paint. Customers are encouraged to design a car to fit their style, so personalisation choices are wide and varied and include five interior ambiences, seven personalisation themes and, in addition to the eight body colours available, six new two-tone body colours are now available on both 3 and 5 door models (previously only the 3-door).
