Two very different Peugeots go estate-to-estate: the practical, city-friendly Peugeot 308 SW versus the sleeker, more upmarket Peugeot 508 SW. We'll separate pure practicality from premium flair, weigh space, comfort and running costs — and tell you which one deserves a spot on your driveway.

Peugeot 308 vs 308 SW: same sharp styling and crisp, comfy drive, but the SW stretches its legs with estate-car practicality—think a boot well over 600 liters versus the hatch’s ~400.

Nice-handling SUV. Steers much more sharply than my previous SUV, a Lynk & Co 01. Has almost the same options as the Lynk. I wanted fully electric, though. The Marvel has a realistic range. So far it has never shown the WLTP figure of 402. But whatever it shows, it achieves. And I've experienced that very differently before (Lynk & Co 01 and Mazda MX-30). In short, a very good, comfortable EV. Downsides: abrupt steering corrections and annoying warning beeps. These can be switched off, but you have to do it every time. It's also a shame that the otherwise great navigation has no Dutch voice.

Great car with a smooth ride. I have 308 SW GT, with the 180HP PHEV engine

150,000 km in 2 years — SW BlueHDi 1.5L 30cv. Comfortable, excellent gearbox. Maybe a bit noisy on the motorway, with air noise around the front doors. A slightly punchier engine would be welcome. The entire timing system was replaced under warranty at 110,000 km.
