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 an upscale shift with sharp styling and a minimalist, screen-focused interior. It offers a diverse range of powertrains, including a 1.2-litre turbo petrol, 1.5-litre diesel, two plug-in hybrids with up to 37 miles of electric range, and a fully electric e-308 boasting over 250 miles of range. All models come with an eight-speed automatic gearbox as standard, and a practical SW estate version is also available for increased cargo capacity.

While the 308's plush interior and modern technology are significant selling points, rear seat practicality can be snug for taller adults, though the boot is a decent 412 litres (361 litres for PHEV models). Driving dynamics are agile thanks to quick steering, but the PHEV versions, despite their power, don't deliver a true 'hot hatch' feel. Running costs are competitive, with good real-world fuel economy for petrol and diesel, and strong potential savings for PHEV and e-308 users who can charge regularly at home.

Best for: Drivers seeking a stylish, modern, and refined family hatchback with advanced technology; those interested in efficient plug-in hybrid or electric options; buyers who appreciate a comfortable ride and agile handling.

Not ideal for: Taller passengers needing generous rear headroom and legroom; those who find the i-Cockpit driving position (small steering wheel, high-set dials) uncomfortable or distracting; buyers prioritising maximum boot space without opting for the SW estate, particularly with PHEV models.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the 308 if: You're looking for a stylish, modern, and refined family hatchback with advanced technology, interested in efficient hybrid/electric options, or appreciate a comfortable ride and agile handling.

Consider alternatives if: You need generous rear headroom and legroom for taller passengers, dislike the i-Cockpit driving position, or require maximum boot space without opting for the SW estate, especially with PHEV models.

Competitive Position: The Peugeot 308 (2022-present) stands out in the family hatchback segment for its bold styling, upscale interior, and diverse powertrain options, including efficient PHEV and full EV variants. While it offers a refined and agile driving experience, some rivals may offer superior rear practicality or a more conventional driving position. Its competitive running costs and modern tech make it a strong, desirable choice for those seeking a stylish and efficient compact car.
