Peugeot 308 review

WHAT'S THE VERDICT?

“Peugeot has rolled the dice on design, inside and out... but on top of that there’s quality of execution”

The 308 lands in a class that is absolutely rammed with talent, endless possibilities and where deals can be done even in chip-limited times. But Peugeot has rolled the dice on design, inside and out, and while this might deter the more conservative elements of the customer base, the rest of us should applaud this refreshingly emboldened approach.

On top of that there’s quality of execution, lots of tech, and more than competent dynamics – the hybrid 180, in particular, ticks most of the boxes. Not exactly a 205 GTI successor but more fun than you might imagine.

Peugeot 308 Hybrid 180 2022 UK review

Should I buy one?

The Peugeot 308 Hybrid 180 and 225 models make exactly the same peak torque, and only a tenth of a second separates their 0-62mph performance claims, so you’re really not giving up much if you save a few quid on the cheaper of the two.

If you’ve got benefit-in-kind tax savings in mind, this being an 8%-qualifying car will put it in a favourable position. Moreover, if you can charge it regularly and cheaply and do plenty of short-range motoring, it should certainly pay you back in fuel cost savings the extra it costs in monthly finance over a conventional petrol 308.

If you’re looking for outright space or value for money, on the other hand, you’ll find more convincing options than this elsewhere in the hatchback segment, never mind the wider market for compact cars. Even so, this feels like a successful overhaul of a car for those who like their family hatchbacks a little bit compact, chiselled, dynamic and desirable. It doesn’t cover every base and isn't for every taste, but it’s got plenty going for it all the same.

How did they allow Ferrari to make a 308 but Porsche had to rename their model to the 911 up from the 901?

Peugeot 308 SW BlueHDI 130 UK review

Should I buy one?

The compact family estate car is clearly one of a decreasing number of niches in the modern car market where there is still plenty of interest in a diesel engine, and this Peugeot is one of a few oil-burning load-luggers which are still competing for your interest.

It doesn’t stand out quite like the sweeter-handling hatchback; and without roomy back seats to go with its good-sized boot, it isn’t easy to recommend to those who want a lot of practicality in a fairly compact package. But if, like so many shopping for a car like this, you’ll only very seldom be carrying adult passengers in the back, and you like the 308’s sharply drawn exterior and newly appealing cabin and digital technology, the car’s diesel engine would certainly make an economical running partner - though perhaps not the most refined or modern-feeling one.

Peugeot E-308 and E-308 SW EVs are all about efficiency, launching next year

Peugeot has been teasing the fully-electric versions of the its 308 for some time now and today the company released some specs for us to go through. The E-308 and E-308 SW models primarily focus on efficiency and promise a consumption of just 12.7 kWh per 100 km.

No matter if you go for the station wagon or the hatch version, the E-308 comes with a 54 kWh battery with a 400-volt system capable of at least 400 km of autonomy. That's because the front of the cars is optimized for the best aerodynamics, features an underbody and a newly designed set of 18-inch wheels. Some low-friction tires are at hand as a standard.

The electric motor fitted inside both options is capable of 156 hp (260Nm) maximum output, but no additional specs have been disclosed.

A three-phase charger with 11kW output can charge the vehicle from 20 to 80% in just 25 minutes.

Inside, the Peugeot E-308 is almost identical to ICE-powered 308 sibling with the company's i-Cockpit and 3D heads-up display. The infotainment system consists of a big 10-inch touch screen in the middle of the dashboard.

New Peugeot e-308 EV hatch rivals VW ID 3 with 250-mile range

Electric hatchback and estate revealed with all-new drivetrain ahead of 2023 UK launch

The new Peugeot e-308 is the French firm’s crucial new entry into the electric family hatch segment, going up against the Volkswagen ID 3 with the choice of two bodystyles and more than 248 miles of range.

Revealed today in hatchback and estate forms – the latter of which Peugeot says is the first EV estate from a European manufacturer – the e-308 rides on the familiar Stellantis group EMP2 architecture but introduces a new electric powertrain not yet used on any other model in the multi-brand manufacturer’s portfolio.

A front-mounted motor endows the hatchback with 156bhp, 22bhp more than the technically similar Peugeot e-208 supermini and e-2008 crossover, and 192lb ft. The firm hasn’t yet revealed performance details, but a 0-62mph time of around 8.0sec is expected.

Hurrah! Peugeot is launching an all-electric 308 estate

Oh, and the 308 hatch is getting an EV version too. We’re all about the estate, though

Great news for all those who wanted an electric estate car but couldn’t quite bring themselves to buy an MG 5 – Peugeot has announced that an all-electric e-308 SW will arrive next year, and it's a handsome thing.

The e-308 hatch is a cracking looking thing too and will arrive at the same time as the estate. Peugeot has said that both iterations will use a brand-new electric powertrain, with a 156bhp electric motor and a new 54kWh high-voltage battery.

That should mean a WLTP range of 248 miles, with 100kW fast-charging allowing for a 20-80 per cent top-up in 25 minutes. There’ll be Eco, Normal and Sport drive modes, plus a Brake mode for maximum regen when you lift off the throttle. All very standard EV stuff these days, which makes us think a worthy electric 308 estate could be very good indeed.
