In an attempt to keep it competitive against the likes of the VW Golf, Ford Focus and other compact models, Peugeot has updated the 308 for the 2021 model year. For the most part, the novelties are modest, with the biggest change being the introduction of the i-Cockpit. The digital instrument cluster comes with a 10-inch HD panel that incorporates the graphic design from the 208 and 2008 and gets a glossy finish. The infotainment system supports smartphone integration and features 3D navigation system, voice commands and so on. Other tech on deck include adaptive cruise control with stop & go function, 180-degree reversing camera, latest-gen automatic emergency braking and collision warning, active lane departure warning, driver attention alert, speed sign recognition, active blind spot monitoring and automatic smart beam assist. Review: Can Peugeot Finally Crack The Compact Hatch Segment With Revamped 308? On the outside, the revised 308 lineup is virtually unchanged, save for the introduction of the new Vertigo Blue paint finish and two new wheel designs, 16 and 18 inches in diameter. The Black Pack option is reserved for the top-of-the-line trim levels and lets customers change the majority of the chrome trim with glossy black elements, including the front grille, side windows, fog lamp and turn signal surrounds. The engine lineup comprises two petrol and two diesels: the PureTech with 108 HP (110 PS / 81 kW) and 128 HP (130 PS / 96 kW), and the BlueHDi, making 99 HP (100 PS / 74 kW) and 128 HP (130 PS / 96 kW), respectively. Lesser models are offered with a six-speed manual gearbox, whereas the 8-speed automatic is available on the upper grades, alongside the same stick shift. Topping the range is the 308 GTi hot hatch powered by a turbo-four rated at 259 HP (263 PS / 193 kW) and 251 lb-ft (340 Nm) of torque. PHOTO GALLERY more photos...
The Peugeot 3008 GT model features 19-inch aluminium alloys. For the South African market, there are new colours to choose from and customers have 7 shades to choose from.

An âSWâ 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 â oh, and the usual good looks youâd expect from a Peugeot. Itâs no real shock that the Peugeot 308 SW is visually similar to the hatchback, but thatâs 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 SWâs 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 manufacturerâs i-Cockpit interior layout. That includes the tiny squared-off steering wheel, a digital driverâs display plus a 10-inch touchscreen. The infotainment system supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, too, as well as coming with an âOK Peugeotâ 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 thatâs 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 Youâve 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. Theyâll 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. Itâll carry a slight premium over the hatchback, with pricing above ÂŁ25,000 as a likely starting points. Want to keep up to date with the latest news?

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. Thereâs 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 Youâll get the tiny wheel and digital display as standard Hop inside the Peugeot 308 and youâll spot a small, squared-off steering wheel with Peugeotâs âi-Cockpitâ digital drivers display in front of you as standard. The wheel will even detect how much youâre 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. Thereâs an âOK Peugeotâ voice assistant to control some of the functions too, though it doesnât 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 308âs engine lineup is the introduction of plug-in hybrid engines for the first time.

The 308 is also a sportier and more engaging alternative to its comfort-focused sister car, the DS 4. Thatâs not to say the Peugeotâs ride is harsh â far from it â but it just feels more poised and controlled. Even this heavier plug-in hybrid version is able to stay admirably flat during fast changes of direction.âş Great interior, clever infotainment systemâş Hybrid powertrains offer good performanceâş Driving position is rubbish if youâre tall Peugeot is going great guns at the minute. The company has shaken off the fusty image it curated at the turn of the 21st century. Now, itâs churning out interesting, quality vehicles that give leading family car brands like Volkswagen and Ford a run for their money. The 308 is Peugeotâs latest effort. It rivals the likes of the Hyundai i30, Toyota Corolla and Mazda 3, as well as long-standing hatchback favourites such as the Volkswagen Golf and Ford Focus. Its opponents are plentiful and talented â so does this new Pug offer anything to tempt buyers away from the established competition? On paper, it certainly seems so. Peugeot offers the 308 with a good range of engines, including an eager petrol, an economical diesel and two plug-in hybrid powertrains. Thereâs even a pure-electric model on the way in 2023. It also looks great, the interior is well-designed and Peugeotâs new 10-inch infotainment system is up there with the best in the business. However, after spending some time behind the wheel, we found a couple of foibles that could affect the carâs appeal for a lot of buyers. You canât leave us hanging there. Spit it out Fine. I was planning on easing into the criticism gently, but Iâll get the worst of it out of the way now. The 308âs driving position is appalling if youâre any taller than five foot ten. The seat is mounted far too high and the steering wheel sits way too low. The wheel is also too small, which makes it difficult to see the gauge cluster. As I shall now explain. If you raise the steering wheel up to its highest setting so itâs a comfortable height for your shoulders, the upper rim completely obscures the dials and you canât see how fast youâre going. Try explaining that one to plod after blazing through your local town at 50mph. This forces you to adopt a very unergonomic high seat, low wheel driving position, which throws up a whole different set of problems. If you brake while navigating a junction, for example, your hands clatter into your knees which stops you from getting around the bend. Infuriatingly, I couldnât find a happy medium between the two extremes. Sounds like this is your fault for being a strange shape Thatâs entirely plausible. But there are plenty of folk shaped like me that will run into the same problem â so my biggest piece of advice is to negotiate a good test drive before you sign on the dotted line to make sure that the Peugeot 308âs cabin fits your body. The rest of the 308âs interior is great. Quality is excellent, with lots of soft-touch materials, sturdy switchgear and fancy fabric trim strips for the dash. The infotainment system is a corker, too. The screen is as crisp and fast as a modern smartphone, and thereâs a strip of five customisable shortcut buttons mounted on a dedicated panel below to make it easier to navigate the unitâs plethora of functions. Peugeot calls them âi-Togglesâ and they can be programmed to jump to almost any function on the touchscreen that your imagination can conjure. If you wanted to, you could have one that tunes the stereo to Finnish folk metal, one that whacks the air-con on full and another that programmes the sat-nav to your local livestock market. Clever stuff. But whatâs it like to drive? Honestly? Itâs a bit hit and miss. The suspension works perfectly fine when youâre cruising on a smooth A-road or a motorway. But, chuck the Peugeot 308 down a twisty back road, and chinks start to appear in its armour. For starters, itâs too stiff for its purpose. In my eyes, the Peugeot 308 isnât a sporty car. You donât get as much feedback as you do from a Ford Focus or Mazda 3 and, with that laid back driving position, it should have been pitched as a comfy cruiser rather than a B-road barnstormer. But itâs sprung like a hot hatchback. The dampers donât have a lot of travel and they canât react quickly to changes, which means the wheels crash into potholes hard rather than easing into them gently. The problem gets worse if youâre on a bumpy corner, where the stiff suspension will unsettle the car. It isnât dangerous, but it doesnât encourage you to drive spiritedly. Peugeot has also fitted the 308 with very quick steering in an effort to make the car feel agile. The effect is a combination of the low gearing on the rack and the tiny hexagonal steering wheel, which only requires a quarter turn to navigate most corners. The setup works very well on the petrol model because itâs the lightest model in the line-up. It only weighs 1,288kgs, so it turns in keenly. The plug-in hybrid models arenât quite as sharp because of the added heft (300kgs in total) of the hybrid system. Donât get me wrong, itâs a lot sharper than rivals such as the Volkswagen e-Hybrid and the Mercedes A 250 e â itâs just not quite as good as the pure-petrol version. But these are the sacrifices we make for low company tax rates, I suppose. Thereâs also a slightly counter-intuitive benefit to the PHEV system. It smooths out the ride a little and helps to keep the car settled over uneven surfaces. The lighter petrol model is constantly moving under you if youâre tackling a B-road with gusto. Tell us more about the 308âs engines. Whatâs to like? The three-cylinder petrol unit is easily the best unit in the current line-up. Itâs a willing little unit, serving up 128bhp and 170lb/ft of torque, which is just enough to make the 308 feel nippy. Itâs also very refined for a three-cylinder, and it even sounds good when you set loose your inner hooligan and mash the throttle through the firewall. The diesel is, well, a diesel. Itâs a bit rattly at idle, although it smooths out nicely once youâre up to speed. Peugeot says it develops 129bhp and 221lb/ft of torque, but it never feels as fast as that torque figure would suggest. In-gear acceleration is lethargic, even if you put the engine in sport mode. The 308âs pair of plug-in hybrid powertrains are refined when driven sensibly, but theyâre writing cheques they canât cash in terms of efficiency. Both are based on a four-cylinder petrol engine and Peugeot claims theyâll achieve upwards of 200mpg on the WLTP combined cycle. Spoiler alert: they wonât. Drive with a light foot and youâll average more than 50mpg â especially if youâve got a full battery. The powertrain can tootle around on electric power alone for 35â40 miles, meaning youâd likely not need to burn a drop of fuel during your morning commute. However, if you run the battery flat youâll struggle to achieve 30mpg, because the petrol engine needs to work hard to haul around the dead weight of the hybrid system. If you donât plug them in, the hybrids will keep the engine turning to charge the battery. This burns more fuel and negatively impacts your mpg figure. To be fair to Peugeot, we did have that setting engaged when we tested the car, but thatâs only because the previous journalist had left it with a flat battery. Make sure to plug them in, then. More importantly â are they quick? Sort of â but like everything with the Peugeot 308, thereâs a caveat. You have a choice of two power outputs. The cheaper model produces 178bhp, while the more expensive variant develops 222bhp. The former is priced from ÂŁ33,035 while the latter starts from ÂŁ37,235, as itâs only available with Peugeotâs most expensive GT and GT Premium specifications. Both versions have the same 236lb/ft torque output, which means the pricier model hardly feels any faster than the cheaper one. The performance figures back up our observations, as the 222bhp PHEV is only one tenth of a second quicker from 0â62mph than the 178bhp model. Is that really worth the extra cash? Neither like being hurried, either. Plant the throttle hard to overtake, and thereâs a noticeable delay while the eight-speed automatic gearbox figures out which cog it needs. Then thereâs another pause before the electric motor kicks in. You wait a total of two seconds between pressing the throttle and accelerating, by which point your window of opportunity has passed. The remedy is to drop back and roll into the throttle gently. But wait. Just before you fill my inbox up with âI told you soâ quips about the drawbacks of electrified petrol engines, consider that both 308 PHEVs have low Benefit-in-Kind rates of eight percent, which makes them a very tempting prospect for company car buyers. Road tax is low, too, as their official CO2 emissions figures range between 24 and 30g/km. What about boot space? Itâs good news here, because the 308 is one of the more practical cars in its class. The petrol and diesel versions have 412 litres of boot space with the rear bench in place, but that figure drops to 361 litres with the plug-in hybrid powertrain. The battery lives under the boot floor which eats up space. Fold the bench flat, and the boot capacity of the non-electrically 308 swells to 1,323 litres. The PHEVs offer a maximum of 1,271 litres. That sounds like a big practicality penalty, but thatâs before you consider that figure is still 34 litres more than you get in the pure combustion-engined Golf. If you need the extra space, you can always opt for the 308 SW estate. It offers 608 litres of space with the rear bench in place and 1,634 litres with the seats stowed. It also has a longer wheelbase than the hatchback, which liberates a little more leg room for those in the rear and benefits the carâs ride quality. Verdict Iâm forced to be less objective than usual with the Peugeot 308, as its suitability to your lifestyle is ultimately determined by your body shape and preferred driving position. Iâm tall, so I couldnât entertain the shapes the seat and wheel were contorting me into â and I hated not being able to see the gauges when I made myself comfortable. A shorter driver will probably find it easier to live with. There are a lot of things the 308 does well. It has a huge boot, for example, and its build quality impresses. Peugeotâs new infotainment setup is also a huge step up over its previous systems and the i-Toggle widget bar makes it easy to operate all of the carâs cabin functions from the touchscreen. Thereâs a good range of engines, too. The petrol is definitely the sweet spot in the line-up, but the PHEVs make a compelling argument for the amount of performance they offer and their low BiK ratings. Theyâre not as efficient in the real world as Peugeot claims, but the same can be said of most PHEVs systems. Weâre looking forward to driving the new electric model soon. With 250 miles of range and a 154bhp electric motor up front, it could leap frog the petrol as the pick of the range.
