As the enthusiasm for SUVs wanes, Peugeot senses a shift and puts its 308 estate in the spotlight.
Lower, more efficient, and offering better space, the estate is once again appealing to customers looking for both style and practicality. And let’s admit, the anti-SUV movement is doing a lot for this once-hated format! Peugeot is taking advantage of this trend to unveil the new 308 SW, derived from the compact model.
Designed and assembled in France, in Mulhouse, the 308 SW stands out due to its elongated profile and well-designed rear, allowing it to combine elegance and functionality. Modularity is one of its strong points: a rear bench that can be folded in three parts (40/20/40), an adjustable boot floor, and a loading volume ranging from 598 to 1487 liters depending on the configuration. These are all assets aimed at both families and professionals.
The range of engines mirrors the variety offered on the sedan. Four options are available: a 130 hp diesel for high-mileage users, a 145 hp hybrid, a 195 hp plug-in hybrid, and at the top of the lineup, a 100% electric version called the E-308. This latter promises up to 450 km of autonomy in the WLTP cycle, a figure that places it among the benchmarks in its segment.
A dynamic facelift
In terms of style, the 308 SW adopts the new codes of the brand: body-colored grille, illuminated badge, and three-claw signature. Higher trims benefit from Matrix LED headlights, while the color palette features new distinctive shades.
Inside, we find Peugeot’s i-Cockpit, with a digital display, a central 10-inch screen, and customizable touch controls. The emphasis is on connectivity, with remotely updated services, the i-Connect system, and simplified charging thanks to the “Plug & Charge” feature on electric versions.
