Design & Presence

The Peugeot 308 presents a compact, modern silhouette that looks smaller on paper than it feels on the road, measuring 4,367 mm long and 1,852 mm wide with a coupe-like roofline that tightens the rear. The front end wears Peugeot’s sharp lighting signature and a restrained grille that gives the hatch a premium, grown-up presence without trying too hard. From the side the wheel arches and a rising beltline lend it a sporty stance that outclasses many ordinary family hatchbacks. In traffic the 308 reads as a deliberate, slightly upscale choice rather than a bargain-basement runabout.

Interior & Usability

The cabin continues Peugeot’s i-Cockpit theme with a compact steering wheel and a configurable digital instrument cluster that prioritises information over ornamentation. Material quality has been noticeably stepped up: soft-touch surfaces, neatly trimmed panels and supportive seats give the impression of a class above many rivals. Controls are generally well laid out, though touchscreen menus can demand attention when setting up systems on the move. Five adults fit in principle, but the 308 focuses more on a refined experience than on stretching interior volume to the limit.

Space & Everyday Practicality

Driving & Handling

The 308 steers with a crisp, communicative feel that makes it more engaging than many compact hatches, and the chassis balances comfort and agility in a way that suits mixed urban and motorway use. Powertrain choices affect character: the 130 hp diesel accelerates briskly for its class (0–100 km/h in roughly 10.5–11 seconds), the 145 hp mild-hybrid feels lively in town, the 156 hp pure-electric model has smooth instant torque and the 195 hp plug-in hybrid can drop to about 7.6 seconds to 100 km/h. Heavier electrified variants calm the car’s agility a touch, but ride comfort and composure remain strengths across the range.

Efficiency, Consumption & Range

Efficiency is a strong selling point: the 1.5 BlueHDi diesel manages around 5.1 L/100 km in WLTP figures and suits high-mileage drivers who spend time on highways, while the 1.2 MHEV petrol averages near 5.0 L/100 km for mixed driving. The plug-in hybrid claims tiny petrol consumption figures (around 0.8 L/100 km) when its WLTP electric range of roughly 78 km covers typical commutes, but real-world fuel use depends on charging habits. The e-308 electric version uses about 15.2 kWh/100 km on the WLTP cycle, with an advertised range near 419 km from its ≈51 kWh battery, making it viable for longer trips between charges in normal driving conditions.

Assistance & Infotainment

Equipment levels include a modern infotainment setup with a responsive touchscreen, smartphone integration and a configurable digital cluster that keeps navigation and driver aids visible without overwhelming the display. Safety and assistance systems such as adaptive cruise control, automated emergency braking and lane-keeping aids are present and perform competently in everyday traffic, helping reduce stress on longer runs. Some advanced features and larger displays are reserved for higher trims, so buyers who prioritise tech should check specification lines carefully.

Who is it for?

The Peugeot 308 suits buyers who want a stylish, well-made compact hatch with multiple powertrain choices: an economical diesel for long-distance drivers, a frugal mild-hybrid for mixed use, a PHEV for commuters who can charge and cut fuel bills, or a pure EV for city and longer-range electric driving. It appeals to those who value interior quality, comfortable seats and engaging handling more than maximum rear-seat space. Overall, the 308 is a rounded choice for buyers looking to upgrade from a basic hatch to something with a more premium feel and modern drivetrain flexibility.
