2012 Peugeot 309 leaked

Above you see one of the first images, likely to come from a French car magazine, of the upcoming Peugeot 309 - which will be the successor to the current 308.

Of course, being so early, we shouldn’t expect the final product to look like this, as the design development is still being overseen by Peugeot design chief Gilles Vidal.

What stands out on this 309 is the new face with its sleeker cat eye headlights and the tighter-looking mouth of the front grill.

The bonnet features deep grooves and the side doors too have some soft indentations to give the 309 a fleshier look.

The new 309 won’t be in dealer showrooms before 2013.
