Peugeot unveils new E-308 and E-308 SW with 8.6% larger battery

Peugeot has refreshed the E-308 and E-308 SW today, and the brand seems to have decided that capitalizing that "E" in the names is important.

Additionally, it's given them a bigger battery - by 8.6%, to be exact. It went from 51 kWh usable capacity to 55.4 kWh. Thanks to this, the WLTP combined cycle range is now advertised to be 450 km.

The battery charges at up to 100 kW on a DC charger, and if you go there you'll get from 20% to 80% in 32 minutes, and Plug & Charge is supported too. AC charging is covered by a three-phase onboard charger that goes up to 11 kW. Vehicle-to-load is supported too (providing up to 3.5 kW and 16 A) but with an adapter sold separately by Peugeot dealers.

The powertrain remains unchanged, developing a maximum of 115 kW (156 hp) and 270 Nm of torque. The cars receive an 8-year or 160,000 km warranty. They are designed and produced in France.

The front Peugeot lion emblem is now illuminated, a first for the brand, and it's incorporated into a new body-color grille design with a new three-claw light signature. On the rear there are three inclined LED claws on each side of the "elegant black lacquered band above the Peugeot emblem", the brand says.

New 18" diamond-cut alloy wheels are standard, "bringing elegance, innovation, and aerodynamics". There are two new body colors: Lagoa Blue on the E-308 and Ingaro Blue on the E-308 SW.

Inside, there are "elegant new graphics" on the instrument cluster, and five "i-Toggles" integrated into "an elegant black band under the central touchscreen". These can be configured as shortcuts to various settings for air conditioning, contacts, radio stations, navigation, and more.
