Quick Summary

The Peugeot 308 is a stylish and broadly defined family hatchback that offers an appealing blend of common sense and desirability. Available as a hatchback or estate (SW), it features a high-tech, minimalist interior with a plush cabin that feels classy and modern. The third-generation model, launched in 2022 and facelifted in 2025, represents a significant step upmarket for Peugeot, with sharp styling and a screen-focused dashboard. Buyers can choose from electric, petrol-hybrid, plug-in hybrid, or diesel powertrains, with no manual gearbox or all-wheel-drive option available.

The 308 offers a more enthusiastic drive than expected, featuring Peugeot's distinctive small steering wheel for quick steering response and keen cornering. The plug-in hybrid manages 0-62mph in 7.9 seconds, whilst the hybrid achieves the same in 9.3 seconds and the e-308 in 9.8 seconds. Ride comfort is generally good once up to speed, though it can feel choppy over town roads. Running costs are affordable, with the hybrid achieving 48.5-62.6mpg and the plug-in hybrid 106.9-148.1mpg officially. The e-308 offers low running costs if charged regularly at home, with rapid charging up to 100kW available. Service plans start from around £8 per month.

Best for: Buyers seeking a stylish, well-equipped family hatchback with modern technology, those interested in hybrid or electric powertrains, and those who appreciate the extra practicality of an estate body style.

Not ideal for: Those prioritising maximum practicality, drivers uncomfortable with unconventional driving positions, or those seeking the finest handling dynamics in the class.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the 308 if: You're seeking a stylish, well-equipped family hatchback with modern technology, interested in hybrid or electric powertrains, or appreciate the extra practicality of an estate body style.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise maximum practicality, are uncomfortable with unconventional driving positions, or seek the finest handling dynamics in the class.

Competitive Position: The Peugeot 308 is a classier and more recommendable choice than ever, offering an appealing blend of style, technology, and affordability. Whilst it may not match the Skoda Octavia for overall capability or the Volkswagen Golf for premium appeal, its high-tech interior, wide engine range, and affordable running costs make it a compelling proposition. The Vauxhall Astra offers similar value at a lower price point, but the 308's superior design and technology justify the premium. The estate variant provides exceptional practicality for families seeking style without compromise.
