The new Peugeot 308 and 308 SW are the latest models to feature Peugeot’s distinctive design language and Peugeot’s next-generation i-Cockpit® interior. At the front, of the new Peugeot 308 and 308 SW are the first models to proudly feature the brand’s new logo, a roaring lion’s head which also neatly houses the radar sensors used by autonomous driving aids for a sleeker look.

Both models look to continue Peugeot’s incredible success in the C-Segment and are available from launch with efficient plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrains for the first time, while fully electric variants will follow in 2023.

Inside, all models feature Peugeot’s next-generation i-Cockpit® configuration with a new compact multi-function steering wheel and a 10-inch HD capacitive color touchscreen that houses Peugeot’s new i-Connect® infotainment system (available from Allure trim). Also new for the 308 and 308 SW are the customizable i-Toggles® controls (available from Allure trim) that allow owners to set personalized shortcut keys for numerous functions for enhanced ease of use. Both the 308 and 308 SW can be specified with heated AGR accredited front seats with 10-way electric adjustment and a multi-point massage system.

The new 308 and 308 SW models come standard with a number of key safety and driver assistance technologies, including:

  • Active Safety Brake with pedestrian and cyclist detection
  • Intelligent Speed Adaptation
  • Lane Keeping Assist
  • Programmable cruise control and speed limiter
  • Driver attention warning

And can be specified with:

From launch, both the 308 and 308 SW are available with a choice of two PHEV powertrains in HYBRID 180 or HYBRID 225 variants. Both feature Peugeot’s 1.6-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine and are powered by a 12.4kWh battery connected to an 81kW electric motor. Capable of up to 37 miles (WLTP) from a single charge, the HYBRID 180 is also eligible for a low 8% Benefit-in-Kind (BIK) rate (2022 / 2023), making it ideal for fleet and business users. A full charge using a 7.4kWh WallBox charger will take just 3 hours 50 minutes, while the optional 7.4kW charger reduces this to 1 hour 55 minutes.

In addition, Peugeot’s advanced 1.2-liter PureTech gasoline and 1.5-liter BlueHDi diesel engines are also available, both with 130 horsepower, giving customers the complete ‘Power of Choice’ to choose the powertrain that best meets their needs.

The 308 and 308 SW offer buyers the possibility to choose the powertrain that best meets their needs, and represents another step in our commitment to offering an electrified variant across our entire model line-up by 2025.”

Both the 308 and 308 SW are available from Peugeot retailers and to buy online from Peugeot.
