It’s the new 308. Peugeot has shifted over million 308s in its 15 years on sale, meaning this new one matters for the company’s bottom line. Fortunately, its design department has (yet again) smashed it out of the park with the third generation, the best looking yet. Peugeot’s aim is to be an ‘inventive high-end generalist’ brand, marketing gobbledigook that disguises a range of cars that are as well-engineered and robust as any of its apparently more esteemed rivals. So talk of the 308 mixing it with the likes of the Audi A3, BMW 1 Series and Mercedes A-Class isn’t too far-fetched, alongside C-segment stalwarts such as the Ford Focus and VW Golf. No - Page continues below It’s available as a five-door hatch or SW semi-estate form. Click these blue words if it’s the latter you’re after. IT LOOKS... STRIKING. The 308 represents further evidence of Peugeot’s concerted push both upmarket and its commitment to delivering something palpably different. Few mainstream car companies have executed a more convincing design about-turn than these guys, and the new 308’s dramatic aesthetic keeps the faith with the quasi-concept car look of the 2008 and 3008 crossovers. The front end positions the bold new Peugeot badge in the middle of an equally punchy grille, the long nose doing most of the visual heavy lifting. The wheelbase has grown by 55mm for more room in the rear compartment, and it sits 20mm lower than the previous model. It’s also impressively slippery with a drag coefficient of and Peugeot has pumped up the colour palette. HOW DOES THE CABIN COMPARE? Plenty of noise has been made about Peugeot’s i-Cockpit interior, complete with compact steering wheel and 10-inch digital instrument cluster. The steering wheel still looks like a TIE fighter from the Star Wars universe and sits unusually (and, for some, uncomfortably) low, but don’t let it be a deal breaker until you’ve spent a good amount of time in the driver’s seat – it quickly feels - Page continues belowElsewhere, the central touchscreen - 10 inches as standard - has been slightly reworked with a row of ‘i-Toggle’ shortcut buttons underneath (from Allure trim upwards), which can be customised to the driver’s liking. Peugeot calls it i-Connect Advanced and it looks really smart, contributing to a cabin that is as good as anything else out there. Head over to the interior tab for full details. WHAT'S BEHIND THE BADGE? The range is admirably streamlined for the UK and starts with the PureTech 130 or the Blue HDi 130 diesel, but the big step forward here is the arrival of two plug-in hybrid powertrains, in 180 (177bhp) or 225 (221bhp) forms. Both of these are powered by a petrol engine augmented by a 81kW (109bhp) electric motor and a lithium-ion battery, and use the e-EAT eight-speed automatic transmission. It’s far from a Peugeot hot hatch of times gone by with a clear focus on refinement and efficiency, but that’s not to say fun can’t be had – the steering is nicely weighted and it has decent body control. Head over to the driving tab for more. Range prices begin at £24k for the PureTech 130 in Active Premium trim, with the hybrids starting from £33k. Full details over on the buying 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.
The former enables the new Peugeot 308 Hybrid to offer a combined output of 180 hp while the latter ups the power ante to 225 hp. In both instances, the stylish hatchback offers a pure electric range of 60 kilometers (37 miles) according to the WLTP cycle. Peugeot has developed its VW Golf competitor to support a charging power of 102 kW and to
► Great interior, clever infotainment system► Hybrid powertrains offer good performance► Driving position is rubbish if you’re tall Peugeot is going great guns at the minute. The company has shaken off the fusty image it curated at the turn of the 21st century. Now, it’s churning out interesting, quality vehicles that give leading family car brands like Volkswagen and Ford a run for their money. The 308 is Peugeot’s latest effort. It rivals the likes of the Hyundai i30, Toyota Corolla and Mazda 3, as well as long-standing hatchback favourites such as the Volkswagen Golf and Ford Focus. Its opponents are plentiful and talented – so does this new Pug offer anything to tempt buyers away from the established competition? On paper, it certainly seems so. Peugeot offers the 308 with a good range of engines, including an eager petrol, an economical diesel and two plug-in hybrid powertrains. There’s even a pure-electric model on the way in 2023. It also looks great, the interior is well-designed and Peugeot’s new 10-inch infotainment system is up there with the best in the business. However, after spending some time behind the wheel, we found a couple of foibles that could affect the car’s appeal for a lot of buyers. You can’t leave us hanging there. Spit it out Fine. I was planning on easing into the criticism gently, but I’ll get the worst of it out of the way now. The 308’s driving position is appalling if you’re any taller than five foot ten. The seat is mounted far too high and the steering wheel sits way too low. The wheel is also too small, which makes it difficult to see the gauge cluster. As I shall now explain. If you raise the steering wheel up to its highest setting so it’s a comfortable height for your shoulders, the upper rim completely obscures the dials and you can’t see how fast you’re going. Try explaining that one to plod after blazing through your local town at 50mph. This forces you to adopt a very unergonomic high seat, low wheel driving position, which throws up a whole different set of problems. If you brake while navigating a junction, for example, your hands clatter into your knees which stops you from getting around the bend. Infuriatingly, I couldn’t find a happy medium between the two extremes. Sounds like this is your fault for being a strange shape That’s entirely plausible. But there are plenty of folk shaped like me that will run into the same problem – so my biggest piece of advice is to negotiate a good test drive before you sign on the dotted line to make sure that the Peugeot 308’s cabin fits your body. The rest of the 308’s interior is great. Quality is excellent, with lots of soft-touch materials, sturdy switchgear and fancy fabric trim strips for the dash. The infotainment system is a corker, too. The screen is as crisp and fast as a modern smartphone, and there’s a strip of five customisable shortcut buttons mounted on a dedicated panel below to make it easier to navigate the unit’s plethora of functions. Peugeot calls them “i-Toggles” and they can be programmed to jump to almost any function on the touchscreen that your imagination can conjure. If you wanted to, you could have one that tunes the stereo to Finnish folk metal, one that whacks the air-con on full and another that programmes the sat-nav to your local livestock market. Clever stuff. But what’s it like to drive? Honestly? It’s a bit hit and miss. The suspension works perfectly fine when you’re cruising on a smooth A-road or a motorway. But, chuck the Peugeot 308 down a twisty back road, and chinks start to appear in its armour. For starters, it’s too stiff for its purpose. In my eyes, the Peugeot 308 isn’t a sporty car. You don’t get as much feedback as you do from a Ford Focus or Mazda 3 and, with that laid back driving position, it should have been pitched as a comfy cruiser rather than a B-road barnstormer. But it’s sprung like a hot hatchback. The dampers don’t have a lot of travel and they can’t react quickly to changes, which means the wheels crash into potholes hard rather than easing into them gently. The problem gets worse if you’re on a bumpy corner, where the stiff suspension will unsettle the car. It isn’t dangerous, but it doesn’t encourage you to drive spiritedly. Peugeot has also fitted the 308 with very quick steering in an effort to make the car feel agile. The effect is a combination of the low gearing on the rack and the tiny hexagonal steering wheel, which only requires a quarter turn to navigate most corners. The setup works very well on the petrol model because it’s the lightest model in the line-up. It only weighs 1,288kgs, so it turns in keenly. The plug-in hybrid models aren’t quite as sharp because of the added heft (300kgs in total) of the hybrid system. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a lot sharper than rivals such as the Volkswagen e-Hybrid and the Mercedes A 250 e – it’s just not quite as good as the pure-petrol version. But these are the sacrifices we make for low company tax rates, I suppose. There’s also a slightly counter-intuitive benefit to the PHEV system. It smooths out the ride a little and helps to keep the car settled over uneven surfaces. The lighter petrol model is constantly moving under you if you’re tackling a B-road with gusto. Tell us more about the 308’s engines. What’s to like? The three-cylinder petrol unit is easily the best unit in the current line-up. It’s a willing little unit, serving up 128bhp and 170lb/ft of torque, which is just enough to make the 308 feel nippy. It’s also very refined for a three-cylinder, and it even sounds good when you set loose your inner hooligan and mash the throttle through the firewall. The diesel is, well, a diesel. It’s a bit rattly at idle, although it smooths out nicely once you’re up to speed. Peugeot says it develops 129bhp and 221lb/ft of torque, but it never feels as fast as that torque figure would suggest. In-gear acceleration is lethargic, even if you put the engine in sport mode. The 308’s pair of plug-in hybrid powertrains are refined when driven sensibly, but they’re writing cheques they can’t cash in terms of efficiency. Both are based on a four-cylinder petrol engine and Peugeot claims they’ll achieve upwards of 200mpg on the WLTP combined cycle. Spoiler alert: they won’t. Drive with a light foot and you’ll average more than 50mpg – especially if you’ve got a full battery. The powertrain can tootle around on electric power alone for 35–40 miles, meaning you’d likely not need to burn a drop of fuel during your morning commute. However, if you run the battery flat you’ll struggle to achieve 30mpg, because the petrol engine needs to work hard to haul around the dead weight of the hybrid system. If you don’t plug them in, the hybrids will keep the engine turning to charge the battery. This burns more fuel and negatively impacts your mpg figure. To be fair to Peugeot, we did have that setting engaged when we tested the car, but that’s only because the previous journalist had left it with a flat battery. Make sure to plug them in, then. More importantly – are they quick? Sort of – but like everything with the Peugeot 308, there’s a caveat. You have a choice of two power outputs. The cheaper model produces 178bhp, while the more expensive variant develops 222bhp. The former is priced from £33,035 while the latter starts from £37,235, as it’s only available with Peugeot’s most expensive GT and GT Premium specifications. Both versions have the same 236lb/ft torque output, which means the pricier model hardly feels any faster than the cheaper one. The performance figures back up our observations, as the 222bhp PHEV is only one tenth of a second quicker from 0–62mph than the 178bhp model. Is that really worth the extra cash? Neither like being hurried, either. Plant the throttle hard to overtake, and there’s a noticeable delay while the eight-speed automatic gearbox figures out which cog it needs. Then there’s another pause before the electric motor kicks in. You wait a total of two seconds between pressing the throttle and accelerating, by which point your window of opportunity has passed. The remedy is to drop back and roll into the throttle gently. But wait. Just before you fill my inbox up with “I told you so” quips about the drawbacks of electrified petrol engines, consider that both 308 PHEVs have low Benefit-in-Kind rates of eight percent, which makes them a very tempting prospect for company car buyers. Road tax is low, too, as their official CO2 emissions figures range between 24 and 30g/km. What about boot space? It’s good news here, because the 308 is one of the more practical cars in its class. The petrol and diesel versions have 412 litres of boot space with the rear bench in place, but that figure drops to 361 litres with the plug-in hybrid powertrain. The battery lives under the boot floor which eats up space. Fold the bench flat, and the boot capacity of the non-electrically 308 swells to 1,323 litres. The PHEVs offer a maximum of 1,271 litres. That sounds like a big practicality penalty, but that’s before you consider that figure is still 34 litres more than you get in the pure combustion-engined Golf. If you need the extra space, you can always opt for the 308 SW estate. It offers 608 litres of space with the rear bench in place and 1,634 litres with the seats stowed. It also has a longer wheelbase than the hatchback, which liberates a little more leg room for those in the rear and benefits the car’s ride quality. Verdict I’m forced to be less objective than usual with the Peugeot 308, as its suitability to your lifestyle is ultimately determined by your body shape and preferred driving position. I’m tall, so I couldn’t entertain the shapes the seat and wheel were contorting me into – and I hated not being able to see the gauges when I made myself comfortable. A shorter driver will probably find it easier to live with. There are a lot of things the 308 does well. It has a huge boot, for example, and its build quality impresses. Peugeot’s new infotainment setup is also a huge step up over its previous systems and the i-Toggle widget bar makes it easy to operate all of the car’s cabin functions from the touchscreen. There’s a good range of engines, too. The petrol is definitely the sweet spot in the line-up, but the PHEVs make a compelling argument for the amount of performance they offer and their low BiK ratings. They’re not as efficient in the real world as Peugeot claims, but the same can be said of most PHEVs systems. We’re looking forward to driving the new electric model soon. With 250 miles of range and a 154bhp electric motor up front, it could leap frog the petrol as the pick of the range.
The Astra has a sharper, cleaner body, while the 308 is rounder, complex and (too) busy. The Astra also has the brand's new visor design with headlights and grille part of (virtually) the same black panel. The 308 has Peugeot's new badge (yuck), grille and teardrop headlamps. There are some shared components. Most obvious are the mirrors.
The new 308’s exterior features a long bonnet and a vertical nose that now gets Peugeot’s ‘sabre-toothed’ light signature, which, surrounded by plenty of black, looks quite aggressive. It’s also the first Peugeot to wear the new brand lion logo, a black and chrome buckler that resembles the shape of the Scuderia Ferrari badge. Inside, it's quite a driver-oriented environment. Adults can fit in the back reasonably, but for families Peugeot has the SW version planned, and due in early 2022. As with the recent 2008, Peugeot has added a three-dimensional element to that controversial instrument cluster, with different layers of information and focal points. I found the gauges of the first I- cockpits were less playful and easier to read. Dynamically, though, from the first roundabout the 308 makes it clear its character hasn't changed much, even if the significantly higher weight of the hybrid due to the combined petrol/electric gubbins, and a kWh lithium-ion battery installed under the boot floor, is immediately noticeable. Comparing the figures it is at least 250 kilograms heavier than other 308s, depending on whether you refer to a petrol or diesel engine. You do get the impression that the new 308 is more generously levelling out bumps and potholes than its predecessor mind: “We had some feedback from owners who wanted a bit more comfort so we put it slightly more in that direction,” says Marjorie Lhuillier, head of Customer Synthesis department, where Peugeot listens to clients and benchmarks competitors.

The third generation of the Peugeot 308 has been unveiled boasting a list of meaningful incremental upgrades along with a suite of luxury equipment. Peugeot has unveiled the 2022 308 small car which returns with a familiar formula and a new face but with a large emphasis placed on technology, safety and everyday comfort. The third-generation 308 won’t make it to Australia until early 2022 and will slot into the popular small car class here in Australia and take on rivals such as the Mazda 3 and Hyundai i30. Peugeot has released the third-generation 308 which will arrive in Australia in early 2022 How has Peugeot changed the design of the 2022 308? Peugeot has placed a strong emphasis on aerodynamics for the third generation with a softer nose shape giving way to a long bonnet and heavily tilted windscreen before the air finally flows off the roof which uses a spoiler to prevent disturbance. The overall height of the Peugeot has actually been dropped by 20mm while the wheelbase has been extended by 55mm, primarily to add more legroom for those in the backseat. The face of the 308 is now sharper and sunken down, with the main LED headlights attached formed in a hook shape with the daytime running lights. At the rear Peugeot has kept things fairly traditional, with large exhaust outlets in the rear bumper and LED tail lights said to represent the three claws of the Peugeot Lion. The overall height of the 308 has been dropped by 20mm to improve airflow Will the 2022 308 drive any better? The 308 sits on an evolved version of the EMP2 platform underpinning the second generation but with structure changes to make the Peugeot more dynamically capable and safer in a collision. And while the length has expanded by a significant 110mm, the 308 still remains agile around town with a turning circle of metres, which slightly beats out popular rivals such as the Toyota Corolla at metres. The engine lineup for the 308 largely remains unchanged for the new generation, with the availability of either petrol, diesel or plug-in hybrid engines with all driving the front wheels. The 308 still sits on the same EMP2 platform as its predecessor but it has been upgraded The engine most likely to make it to Australia is the turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine available in tunes making 81kW of power and 210Nm of torque or 96kW/230Nm. A larger turbodiesel four-cylinder engine is also offered, developing 97kW/300Nm with both options paired to either the six-speed manual or eight-speed torque converter automatic. Peugeot currently offers two plug-in hybrid options known as the Hybrid 225 and Hybrid 180 which are paired exclusively to the automatic. The plug-in hybrid system found in the 3008 will also be coming to Australia The Hybrid 225 is found in the Peugeot 3008 small SUV and uses a 132kW petrol engine along with a 81kW electric engine that uses a battery to provide 59 kilometres on electric-only range, according to WLTP. The Hybrid 180 uses a less powerful 110kW petrol engine and the same 81kW electric motor but actually travels slightly further with 60 kilometres of electric-only range (WLTP). Historically Australia has missed out on these hybrid options but the brand has been introducing a slew of hybrids recently in the 3008 small SUV and 508 sedan. Peugeot has fitted a 10-inch instrument cluster and accompanying touchscreen What has changed on the inside of the 308? Peugeot has modernised the interior of the 308 with a 10-inch digital instrument cluster that has 3D graphics and sits further back into the dash than you might expect. It joins an additional 10-inch touchscreen in the centre which features an adjoining bottom screen made up of configurable screen-badged buttons known as ‘i-toggles’. This gives drivers the ability to program the apps and features they use the most along the bottom, instead of being stuck with whatever the manufacturer decides. The multimedia system now features wireless smartphone mirroring but Peugeot could not confirm if this included both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. In addition, two phones can now connect to the system using Bluetooth. Other niceties such as a wireless charger, USB C ports, an armrest and ambient light are features you may not find in every car in this segment. The touchscreen has an adjoining bottom screen made up of configurable screen-badged buttons known as ‘i-toggles’ Is the new 2022 Peugeot 308 a safer car? Along with improved occupant protection with an upgraded chassis, the Peugeot 308 has updated the existing driving aids to make commuting easier and safer. Adaptive cruise control now has a stop and go function for use in traffic with other features such as semi-automatic lane change that will suggest when to change lanes and the system now has better judgement of how fast to take an incoming turn. The Peugeot 308 features a 360-degree camera to make parking easier Other features such as automatic emergency braking can detect pedestrians and cyclists, driver monitoring, traffic sign recognition, and a 360-degree camera will make parking easier. And if the worst does happen, Peugeot has fitted an ‘E-call’ system that can alert authorities and provide them with your location, direction of travel and number. The exact specification of the Australia model will likely differ slightly but we’ll have more exact details and pricing as we get closer to the launch date in early 2022.

This illustration was made by Jean Francois Hubert/SB-Medien for CarScoops. It is a speculative render that is neither related to nor endorsed by Peugeot. The second-generation 508 is the flagship of Peugeot’s range, and one of the few remaining contestants in the midsize sedan segment. While it doesn’t show, the model debuted almost four years ago at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show which means that Peugeot could be working on a mid-life facelift. The Peugeot 508 is considered one of the most stylish models in the D-Segment, adopting a low-slung five-door fastback coupé-saloon bodystyle. It is also the first production model to introduce the signature tusk-shaped LEDs on the front bumper that were later applied to the whole range. The facelift will likely build upon the successful recipe while adopting fresh design elements from newer models to freshen up its style.

The black accents and the 3D-style graphics make the grille appear larger despite being mostly covered for better aerodynamics. Like the aforementioned SUVs, the 508 will likely get a redesigned bumper with additional faux intakes in the sides, further emphasizing the presence of vertical LEDs. The headlights could also get slightly redesigned LED graphics, merging nicely with the grille. Besides the new face, the 508 will likely remain largely the same, possibly with new options for exterior colors and wheel designs. The rear end could also get a few tweaks on the claw-inspired LED taillight graphics and the rear bumper garnish. Read Also: Here’s What We Know About 2023 Peugeot 208 PSE Electric Hot Hatch Since the current model is also available in estate form, chances are that the facelift will be adopted by the 508 SW. After all, Peugeot showed its dedication to low-slung family haulers with the premiere of the new-generation 308 SW earlier this year. Despite being four years old, the interior of the Peugeot 508 still looks like it comes from the future, thanks to the high-mounted center console, the aluminum-style buttons, the inclined infotainment touchscreen up to 10-inches in diameter, and the digital instrument cluster. However, there are a few updates that could make the dashboard even more attractive, including the addition of the 3D instruments from Peugeot’s latest i-Cockpit, alongside new trim options and more ADAS features as standard. Like in most mid-cycle updates, the EMP2-based Peugeot 508 is expected to get slightly cleaner versions of the same engines. The French company has announced plans of electrifying its whole range by 2025, before going EV-only in Europe by 2030. This means that the updated 508 will be one of the last ICE-powered models by Peugeot. Since electrification becomes more and more popular, the plug-in hybrid variants are expected to be the core of the range. Those are the Hybrid 225 e-EAT8 with a combined output of 222 hp (165 kW / 225 PS) and front-wheel-drive, and the 508 PSE (Peugeot Sport Engineered) performance flagship producing a combined 360 PS (355 HP / 265 kW) with all-wheel-drive. Read: New Peugeot 508 PSE PHEV Launched In Germany, Costs More Than BMW’s M340i xDrive The current generation Peugeot 508 in PSE PHEV form The 508 was introduced with the Puretech gasoline and the BlueHDi diesel engines although later on, it became available with the smaller PureTech and BlueHDi producing 128 hp (96 kW / 130 PS). It is not clear if Peugeot will opt for a simplified ICE range giving more emphasis on electrification and lowering its fleet average emissions in Europe. Besides the European market, the 508 is also available in the Middle East, and in China as the long-wheelbase 508L. Judging from the previous facelifts by Peugeot, the updated 508 could appear as early as next year prior to a 2023 market launch since the French automaker has already announced minor updates for the 2022 model year.
