Peugeot 308 (2022-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Hi-tech interior	Rivals offer better practicality
Wide engine range	Quirky driving position won't suit everybody
Cost-effective to run	Choppy low speed ride

Quick Summary

The Peugeot 308 (2022-present) is the third generation of this family hatchback, marking a significant step upmarket with its sharp styling and minimalist, screen-focused interior. It offers a range of powertrains including a 1.2-litre turbo petrol, 1.5-litre diesel, and plug-in hybrids (PHEV) with up to 37 miles of electric range, all paired with an eight-speed automatic gearbox. A fully electric e-308 is also available, boasting over 250 miles of range, and there's a practical SW estate version for those needing more space.

While the quirky small steering wheel and i-Cockpit layout might not suit everyone, the 308 delivers an enthusiastic drive with quick steering. Practicality is adequate, with 412 litres of boot space in non-PHEV models (361 litres for PHEVs). Running costs are competitive, with good real-world MPG for petrol and diesel, and very low costs for PHEV and e-308 models when regularly charged at home. The interior feels plush and hi-tech, offering a good balance of equipment across its five trim levels.

Best for: Buyers who value stylish design, a modern and high-tech interior, fuel efficiency (especially PHEV/EV users), and those seeking a versatile estate option.

Not ideal for: Those prioritising maximum rear passenger space or boot capacity (in hatchback form), buyers who dislike the i-Cockpit driving position, or those seeking a true hot hatch driving experience.
