Peugeot has released pricing and specification details for the 2022 308 SW estate, with the 308 SW on sale now priced from £25,200, an increase of £1,200 over the 308 hatchback For 2021, Peugeot will be kitting out the 308 GTi with a turbocharged 1.6-liter petrol engine. The engine has been inspired by the brand's RCZ R model yet is a little faster and more powerful. Peugeot is due to release two hybrid models of the 308 GTi too, which will please eco-conscious drivers. The 308 hybrids will be sold from the outset hiWIbF. An ‘SW’ estate version of the Peugeot 308 has been revealed, bringing a little more practicality to the new-generation model. Read on for full details. Peugeot 308 SW revealed Estate version of stylish new hatchback 608-litre boot capacity Electric tailgate as standard 10-inch infotainment system Semi-autonomous tech Plug-in hybrid versions available On sale late 2021 This is the new Peugeot 308 SW, the estate version of the recently-revealed new generation of the hatchback. It goes up against alternatives such as the Volkswagen Golf Estate and Ford Focus Estate, equipped with plug-in hybrid engine options and semi-autonomous driver-assistance tech – oh, and the usual good looks you’d expect from a Peugeot. It’s no real shock that the Peugeot 308 SW is visually similar to the hatchback, but that’s certainly not a bad thing. It has the same sharp headlights with fang-like daytime running lights seeping from either side, and both flank a near-identical grille that houses a new Peugeot logo. The side profile is different from the hatchback the SW’s extended roofline and larger boot, though design details at the rear are pretty similar. That includes the claw effect tailights, gloss black rear trim and chrome fake-exhaust tips. 2022 Peugeot 308 SW interior and infotainment Just as with the hatchback, the Peugeot 308 SW gets the French manufacturer’s i-Cockpit interior layout. That includes the tiny squared-off steering wheel, a digital driver’s display plus a 10-inch touchscreen. The infotainment system supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, too, as well as coming with an ‘OK Peugeot’ voice assistant. Boot space is up to 608 litres in the SW, too, with an electric tailgate fitted as standard. 2022 Peugeot 308 SW semi-autonomous tech You can have your Peugeot 308 SW equipped with a semi-autonomous driving system. As well as adaptive cruise control that’s capable of managing its speed and distance from other cars on the motorway, the 308 SW can suggest when you should make an overtake. 2022 Peugeot 308 SW engines and plug-in hybrids You’ve got a range of engines to pick from for the Peugeot 308 SW, including two plug-in hybrid options. The latter consists of either a 225hp or 180hp engine linked up to a 110hp electric motor. They’ll manage 36 and 37 miles of electric-only driving respectively. Not ready for a hybrid? You can pick between a petrol engine or a diesel, with all engines linked up to an eight-speed automatic. 2022 Peugeot 308 SW price and release date No word yet on when the Peugeot 308 SW will hit showrooms, but expect to see it towards the end of 2021 at the earliest. It’ll carry a slight premium over the hatchback, with pricing above £25,000 as a likely starting points. Want to keep up to date with the latest news?

Expert ReviewAll-new Peugeot 308 goes after the VW Golf with a compelling combination of French style, clever tech and plug-in hybrid powerThe Auto Trader expert verdict:Available new from £25,270Mid-size hatchbacks are still a hugely important sector of the market, dominated by big-selling models like the Volkswagen Golf and Ford Focus. This new Peugeot 308 goes after them with a confident combination of sharp styling, big-car luxuries and a range of engines including frugal petrols and diesels or full plug-in hybrids capable of covering most commutes or regular journeys on battery power alone. Bigger and more refined than its predecessor, this new 308 is a convincing alternative and backed up by Peugeot’s strong reputation for reliability. Reasons to buy:tickSharp lookstickHybrid running coststickLots of techAt a glance:Running costs for a Peugeot 308Reliability of a Peugeot 308Safety for a Peugeot 308How comfortable is the Peugeot 308Features of the Peugeot 308Power for a Peugeot 308Running costs for a Peugeot 308“Whether you’ll be better off buying a regular petrol or diesel or instead going for one of the two plug-in hybrid options will very much depend on your circumstances”On the face of it the 308’s entry price looks more expensive than rivals like the Renault Megane and Ford Focus but when you factor in the tech and fact all models feature an automatic gearbox as standard the like for like comparisons are more favourable. Whether you’ll be better off buying a regular petrol or diesel or instead of a plug-in hybrid will very much depend on your circumstances and the kind of driving you do. The petrol is cheaper to buy while, at this level, diesel looks a bit of a niche choice for those doing big motorway miles. Traditionally that would mean company drivers but, these days, the Benefit In Kind advantages of the plug-in hybrids will likely make these more appealing. As a private owner you may claw back the higher cost of the hybrid versions if you’re able to plug in at home, charge every night and do your regular journeys on electric power alone. But, if not, the more affordable petrol may be the pick. Expert rating: 4/5Reliability of a Peugeot 308“While VW languishes further down reliability tables than you might expect Peugeot consistently ranks at or near the top”Accepted wisdom has it that the Volkswagen Golf is the premium player in this sector and buyers assume German-built cars have greater reliability. In fact the opposite is true and while VW languishes further down reliability tables than you might expect Peugeot consistently ranks at or near the top. Something worth remembering when friends and colleagues trot out tired stereotypes about supposedly flaky French build quality… Safety for a Peugeot 308“Blind spot assistance and rear cross traffic alerts only feature on higher trim levels, while the top spec gets semi-autonomous assisted driving”As a brand-new model the 308 comes packed with the latest safety tech, some of which we welcome but some of which is rather less convincing. Good news first – all 308s come with cruise control you can switch to a speed limiter for motorway roadworks sections, self-correcting steering to keep you in lane, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, rear parking sensors and a host of other features modern drivers expect. Blind spot assistance and rear cross traffic alerts only feature on higher trim levels, while the top spec gets semi-autonomous assisted driving. This is nice in principle and feeling the car maintain its distance to the car in front and steer itself in your hands should in theory take the stress out of long drives. But after it attempted to steer us into a truck in an adjacent lane we quickly turned it off and remain sceptical these systems really are the labour saving innovation they claim to be. Expert rating: 4/5How comfortable is the Peugeot 308“We enjoyed the many and various massage settings – especially the ‘Cats Paw’ one inspired by the lion motif in Peugeot’s brand identity”While the roofline is lower the new 308 is longer overall and in its wheelbase (the important measurement, given it dictates the size of the cabin) than the previous version, which is obvious from the length of the rear doors and room in the back. Those sitting in the middle of the rear bench usually get a raw deal in cars of this size but a grown-up can sit there in reasonable comfort without having to ‘man spread’ too badly. Up front Peugeot’s distinctive low-set steering wheel configuration puts it below the instruments and takes a little getting used to, especially if you’re taller or like to sit lower in the car where it can be a struggle to find a setting that doesn’t block your view of the digital dials. But the seats are comfortable (especially so in the top models, thanks to certification from a respected German ‘healthy backs’ body) and we enjoyed the many and various massage settings – especially the ‘Cats Paw’ one inspired by the lion motif in Peugeot’s brand identity. On the road the 308 adopts a classically French approach, with softer suspension than that typically found on Golfs, Focuses and others with more sporty pretensions. That’s absolutely fine by us, given the realities of most real-world driving situations and, along with the roominess and refinement, makes this a comfortable car to spend time in. Expert rating: 3/5Features of the Peugeot 308“In the modern way everything – heating and ventilation included – is controlled through the central screen and this can take some getting used to”It wasn’t long ago that digital instruments and touch-screens were reserved for higher trim levels only but Peugeot has seized this opportunity to include both as standard on all 308s. Opt for the GT or GT Premium and you get the nifty 3D instrument graphics but, on all models, the displays are both clear to use and stylishly executed. In the modern way everything – heating and ventilation included – is controlled through the central screen and this can take some getting used to when a sideways swipe from the nav to bring up air-con or entertainment controls instead scrolls across the map. As such we appreciated the new ‘i-toggles’ below the screen, which you can configure yourself as ‘hot keys’ to take you straight to your favourite functions. While you can use your phone apps through CarPlay or Android Auto on all models we’d go one up from entry level Active Premium to Allure for these shortcut buttons, the built-in nav and nicer upholstery. Expert rating: 3/5Power for a Peugeot 308“More impressive are the hybrids, which seamlessly switch between petrol, electric and combined power in near-silence”Where some rivals offer confusing combinations and permutations of engines and gearboxes across various trim levels Peugeot thankfully keeps it simple with a standard automatic transmission on all models and straightforward choice of a single petrol or diesel, plus two levels of hybrid powertrain. The 130 horsepower petrol punches above its weight and feels sprightly, but sounds a little gruff in the process. It’s at least better than the diesel in this respect, which never lets you forget which pump it fuels from. The clatter fades at the motorway speeds it’s most suited to, at least. More impressive are the hybrids, which seamlessly switch between petrol, electric and combined power in near-silence, while maintaining enough get-up-and-go to operate on pure battery power for nearly 40 miles on a full charge. The 225 horsepower option available on GT models is a little down on power compared with the Golf GTE, Audi A3 eTFSI and Cupra Leon but still brisk enough while the 180 horsepower alternative is plenty for most drivers and usefully cheaper to buy.

Order your Peugeot 308 now and you’ll likely be in the first batch of UK deliveries scheduled for December. 2021 Peugeot 308 design Oh look, it’s that new Peugeot badge There’s no mistaking the 308 for a modern Peugeot. It has the signature LED fangs dropping down from thin headlights, with a huge grille that looks a bit like a water splash sitting between them. You might have even noticed the new Peugeot badge, which makes its debut on the new 308. There’s nothing too outlandish down the side of the car, except perhaps for the slapping of another new Peugeot badge Ferrari-style on the front arches. At the back, claw-like LED brake lights have been introduced and connected by a darkened reflector. Those claw-like taillights are quickly becoming a Peugeot trademark The only bit of chrome on the car comes at the bottom of the rear bumper in the form of some fake exhaust surrounds. Make of that what you will… 2021 Peugeot 308 interior You’ll get the tiny wheel and digital display as standard Hop inside the Peugeot 308 and you’ll spot a small, squared-off steering wheel with Peugeot’s ‘i-Cockpit’ digital drivers display in front of you as standard. The wheel will even detect how much you’re gripping it when using stuff such as the adaptive cruise-control system. A new 10-inch infotainment system is fitted in the centre of the dashboard and comes with a wireless phone charging tray just below. There’s an ‘OK Peugeot’ voice assistant to control some of the functions too, though it doesn’t appear to be as sophisticated as Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. Depending on which trim you go for, you can have Nappa leather, mottled fabric or Alcantara upholstery for your Peugeot 308 as well as 10-way adjustable seats with a massaging function as well. 2021 Peugeot 308 engines The headline act for the Peugeot 308’s engine lineup is the introduction of plug-in hybrid engines for the first time. You have a choice of two — a 225hp and 180hp model — with both using a petrol engine linked up to a 110hp motor. The 225hp car is said to be capable of 36 miles on electricity alone, with the 180hp version eeking that out to 37. You’ll get six months free charging with BP Pulse if you go for a plug-in hybrid Go for a plug-in hybrid and you’ll get a free six-month subscription to the BP Pulse charging network as well. If you’re not quite ready for a hybrid though, you can pick a petrol or a diesel for your Peugeot 308. All engines are linked up to an eight-speed automatic gearbox as standard. 2021 Peugeot 308 safety equipment Adaptive cruise control will be available and the steering wheel will be able to make sure you’re paying attention There’s a pretty wide range of safety-assistance tech on the Peugeot 308. It’s not yet confirmed what’ll be standard and what will cost you extra, but it will have blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking and traffic sign recognition, among others. You’ll be able to pick between a 180-degree reversing camera or an upgraded 360-degree option that can give you a view from all four sides of the car. Can’t wait for the new Peugeot 308?

Mar 17, 2021 at 11:00pm ET After eight years on the market and several facelifts, the second-generation Peugeot 308 is being retired. Its successor has been well worth the wait, and while beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, we're finding the revamped to be more visually appealing than its aging predecessor. Completely redesigned, the VW Golf rival looks all-new while paying tribute to the past with a retro badge and the "308" logo below the hood. It finally gets the lion's fangs made from LED daytime running lights extending down the front bumper, thus bringing the 308 in line with recent Peugeot products. The front grille takes after recently updated SUVs such as the 3008 and 5008 and is flanked by slim matrix LED headlights for the GT and GT Pack versions. The lesser trim levels have slightly larger headlights and light-emitting diodes for only some of the lighting functions. Gallery: 2021 Peugeot 308 The lion is sharpening up its three claws at the back for the full-LED taillights, joined by a glossy black piece of trim stretching across the tailgate but without incorporating a light strip as seen in many new cars. Olivine Green and Vertigo Blue are the hues featured here, but customers will also be able to get the new 308 in Elixir Red, White Banquise Grey, Pearl White, Black Perla Nera, and Artense (silver). A variety of 16- to 18-inch wheels are available. As with virtually all cars making the transition to the next generation, the 308 is larger than the model it replaces. It now stretches at meters ( inches), making it 11 cm ( in) longer than before, with the wheelbase extended by 55 mm ( in) to 2,675 mm ( in) for additional rear legroom. Contributing to the sleeker shape is a lowered roofline as the height has dropped by 20 mm ( in) to meters ( in), allowing Peugeot to reduce the drag coefficient to Gallery: 2021 Peugeot 308 real images Open the doors and you might be tempted to say you're about to enter the cabin of a concept car. Peugeot is known for its avant-garde dashboards and the overhauled 308 is no exception. The more expensive versions get a 10-inch digital driver's display accompanied by a central touchscreen of the same size that comes as standard. The HVAC controls are easily accessible using a touch-sensitive key, joined by other shortcut buttons positioned below the main screen. You still get some physical toggle switches right below, but as with other brands, Peugeot has integrated most of the functions in the infotainment to clean up the center console. From a wireless charging pad and eight-color LED ambient lighting to a 10-speaker Focal sound system and electrically adjustable seats, the interior has all the goodies you'd expect from a compact hatchback with premium aspirations. There's even a Clean Cabin function that filters polluting gases and particles while showing the air quality on the main display. Even though the 308 has grown in size, the cargo capacity is slightly down, from 420 liters ( cubic feet) to 412 liters ( cu ft). Fold the rear seats and the volume grows to 1,323 liters ( cu ft). Additional cargo compartments have been installed throughout the cabin, providing an extra 34 liters ( cu ft) of storage space. Riding on an evolution of the EMP2 platform, the next-generation Peugeot 308 will be powered by a turbocharged three-cylinder engine offered in two states of tune. The gasoline unit develops 110 and 130 horsepower sent to the wheels via a six-speed manual or an optional eight-speed automatic transmission for the more powerful version. On the diesel side, a four-cylinder is rated at 130 hp and comes with either two or three pedals. At launch, there will also be two plug-in hybrid, front-wheel-drive models with an eight-speed automatic, a battery pack, and an electric motor producing 81 kW in both cases. The difference between the two will be the gasoline engine, developing 150 hp (110 kW) in the lesser configuration and 180 hp (132 kW) for the more powerful version. Combined output stands at 180 hp and 225 hp, respectively, with both offering a WLTP-certified electric range of around 37 miles (60 kilometers). Produced in France at Stellantis' Mulhouse factory, the new Peugeot 308 will go on sale in Europe in the second half of the year. Recent spy shots have revealed a more practical wagon is also planned to take on the Golf Variant. The Wagon Is Not Far Behind: It’s the new 308. Peugeot has shifted over million 308s in its 15 years on sale, meaning this new one matters for the company’s bottom line. Fortunately, its design department has (yet again) smashed it out of the park with the third generation, the best looking yet. Peugeot’s aim is to be an ‘inventive high-end generalist’ brand, marketing gobbledigook that disguises a range of cars that are as well-engineered and robust as any of its apparently more esteemed rivals. So talk of the 308 mixing it with the likes of the Audi A3, BMW 1 Series and Mercedes A-Class isn’t too far-fetched, alongside C-segment stalwarts such as the Ford Focus and VW Golf. No - Page continues below It’s available as a five-door hatch or SW semi-estate form. Click these blue words if it’s the latter you’re after. IT LOOKS... STRIKING. The 308 represents further evidence of Peugeot’s concerted push both upmarket and its commitment to delivering something palpably different. Few mainstream car companies have executed a more convincing design about-turn than these guys, and the new 308’s dramatic aesthetic keeps the faith with the quasi-concept car look of the 2008 and 3008 crossovers. The front end positions the bold new Peugeot badge in the middle of an equally punchy grille, the long nose doing most of the visual heavy lifting. The wheelbase has grown by 55mm for more room in the rear compartment, and it sits 20mm lower than the previous model. It’s also impressively slippery with a drag coefficient of and Peugeot has pumped up the colour palette. HOW DOES THE CABIN COMPARE? Plenty of noise has been made about Peugeot’s i-Cockpit interior, complete with compact steering wheel and 10-inch digital instrument cluster. The steering wheel still looks like a TIE fighter from the Star Wars universe and sits unusually (and, for some, uncomfortably) low, but don’t let it be a deal breaker until you’ve spent a good amount of time in the driver’s seat – it quickly feels - Page continues belowElsewhere, the central touchscreen - 10 inches as standard - has been slightly reworked with a row of ‘i-Toggle’ shortcut buttons underneath (from Allure trim upwards), which can be customised to the driver’s liking. Peugeot calls it i-Connect Advanced and it looks really smart, contributing to a cabin that is as good as anything else out there. Head over to the interior tab for full details. WHAT'S BEHIND THE BADGE? The range is admirably streamlined for the UK and starts with the PureTech 130 or the Blue HDi 130 diesel, but the big step forward here is the arrival of two plug-in hybrid powertrains, in 180 (177bhp) or 225 (221bhp) forms. Both of these are powered by a petrol engine augmented by a 81kW (109bhp) electric motor and a lithium-ion battery, and use the e-EAT eight-speed automatic transmission. It’s far from a Peugeot hot hatch of times gone by with a clear focus on refinement and efficiency, but that’s not to say fun can’t be had – the steering is nicely weighted and it has decent body control. Head over to the driving tab for more. Range prices begin at £24k for the PureTech 130 in Active Premium trim, with the hybrids starting from £33k. Full details over on the buying the verdict?“Peugeot has rolled the dice on design, inside and out... but on top of that there’s quality of execution”The 308 lands in a class that is absolutely rammed with talent, endless possibilities and where deals can be done even in chip-limited times. But Peugeot has rolled the dice on design, inside and out, and while this might deter the more conservative elements of the customer base, the rest of us should applaud this refreshingly emboldened approach. On top of that there’s quality of execution, lots of tech, and more than competent dynamics – the hybrid 180, in particular, ticks most of the boxes. Not exactly a 205 GTI successor but more fun than you might imagine.
