Stance and styling that still surprises

The 308 SW wears Peugeot’s sharp new face with a low bonnet, narrow LED signature and stretched roofline that gives this wagon a sporty profile despite practical intentions. At 4,636 mm long it sits compact in traffic but reads larger on the road, with clean surfaces and a hatchback-like rear that keeps the silhouette modern rather than fussy. The overall look balances elegance and usefulness — buyers get presence without the visual bulk of an SUV.

Cabin: clever, premium and deliberately Peugeot

Inside the cabin the signature small steering wheel and elevated instruments create an engaging driving position while materials have taken a clear step up with soft-touch surfaces and tidy trim details. The layout keeps controls intuitive and a central touchscreen with smartphone mirroring covers daily needs; higher trims add nicer finishes and more digital displays. Ergonomics are sensible for five adults on short trips, though the sporty dash layout can limit some storage cubby space compared with more conventional competitors.

Boot space that actually helps daily life

Practicality is a core strength: boot capacity varies by drivetrain but sits roughly between about 467–551 litres with the seats up and expands to between around 1,402–1,449 litres with the rear seats folded flat, so weekly shopping, pushchairs or weekend kit are handled with ease. The long roofline and low load lip make loading awkward items straightforward and the rear seats split-fold easily for flexible layouts. Smaller differences between petrol, diesel, plug-in hybrid and electric versions are mostly down to battery packaging, so buyers should check the exact figure for the variant they want.

How it drives: poised, front-wheel focused and efficient

Handling stays true to Peugeot’s compact-car roots with nimble turn-in, well-controlled body motions and a chassis tuned for comfort over outright sportiness, all on a front-wheel-drive layout that keeps predictability high. Performance ranges from brisk to quick depending on powertrain — the plug-in hybrid punches to 0–100 km/h in about 7.7 s, the petrol MHEV sits around 9.3 s and the diesel closer to 10.9 s — so acceleration choices match real-world needs from relaxed motorway overtakes to eager urban bursts. Heavier hybrid and electric versions add mass (curb weight up to about 1,783 kg) but generally settle into composed highway manners; steering is precise enough for everyday confidence without being sharp-edged.

Fuel use, electric range and what that means day-to-day

Multiple powertrains are available, from mild-hybrid petrol and diesel to plug-in hybrid and full electric, which means running costs and habits will vary a lot depending on choice. Expect the petrol MHEV to show around 5.1 l/100 km in combined figures with a 52 l tank for long range, the diesel about 5.0 l/100 km, the PHEV combining to a WLTP-like 2.3 l/100 km when used with battery assist and offering roughly 78 km of electric-only range, while the fully electric e-308 SW returns about 15.2 kWh/100 km and a WLTP range near 410 km. Put simply: choose petrol or diesel for long uninterrupted trips and simple refuelling, the PHEV for mostly-electric commuting with occasional longer drives, and the e-variant for daily electric range and lower running costs if charging is easy.

Safety tech and the digital cockpit — useful, not overcomplicated

Driver assistance covers the expected set of adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping aids and parking sensors with optional cameras that make manoeuvres straightforward and reduce motorway fatigue. The infotainment system is responsive enough for navigation and media, with smartphone integration standard on most trims, while driver displays are configurable and keep essential info readable without distraction. Higher trims add more advanced semi-autonomous aids and nicer audio or connectivity packs, but even mid levels feel well equipped for modern family use.

Who will this wagon suit?

The 308 SW targets buyers who want the practicality of an estate without adopting an SUV’s height and bulk, offering a stylish alternative for families, commuters and frequent travellers who value efficiency and interior quality. Those wanting low running costs and short daily commutes should look closely at the PHEV or electric e-308 SW for their electric ranges, while drivers covering long distances without easy charging will find the diesel or petrol MHEV sensible and economical. Overall, it’s a tasteful, versatile choice for buyers who want a compact estate that feels more premium than purely utilitarian.
