This is what I love about this Peugeot. They didn't make a special ugly version just for EV like most car brands. So this is basically the best looking EV out there.
Stunning looking car but i have to agreed with other comments made, who will buy such an expensive car when it doesnt go as far, offers less space and is slower?
Price is extreme
Totally agree.
There is already a top spec one on Autotrader for £33k ie 8-9k off
Ils sont fou chez Peugeot, ils veulent la faillite
Ppl who want to save on lifetime running costs but want nice looks
One suggestion: Perhaps consider dropping the background music during the main review portion of the videos. It makes it a lot harder to hear what's being said
I think the range is enough. Happily drive long distance in an ID3 with similar WLTP. I like the battery size and efficiency point. The power is a bit disappointing though and it'll obviously only be good value with a big discount. The e308sw is the one that's really interesting.
I can see this and the Astra being heavily discounted from day one.
I want to see Bjørn Nyland do a proper range test first to prove if those efficiency figures are real or utter BS.
He recently drove the e-c4x with same motor and battery and got good effiency so its not bs
@@danielstefanovic2604 I saw that, it's promising 😀
You know nothing about new Peugeots. They are very good products
You are entitled to your own opinion but I think you are wrong. Peugeot have really levelled up big time and now make top cars. I rented one in July in Italy, my wife and I were very, very impressed. We plan to buy the brand new e3008.
it may not have the biggest battery but it's certainly looks the best in the segment and it have the best looking interior aswell
I disagree with you on the interior, this car has an expensive interior than those electric cars you mentioned,
Most of those electric cars are built to look stupid.. I'm with Peugeot on this one
Wow so negative review for an excellent car. Pretty strange
Why should an electric car be different and weird… ? Why? Majority people I know are tired of those weird stupid cheap minimalistic interiors which come with a por quality as bonus. This is how a car should look like… a car. Compare a 308 to an MG please…. And last there is no need for 300 or 400 horse power to ride comfortably with a family. I just agree the price is a bit to high.
Really! Only the 3rd generation?
With most people ‘buying’ cars with some form of finance, the manufacturers (and in turn, journalists) need to be reporting the monthly payment cost. This might be £40k, but if Peugeot (and any others) are willing suck up the bulk into the balloon payment, it might be more appealing…
The retail prices are also just priced to keep equivalent petrol and hybrid sales up. After the initial launch, prices will drop to reflect the market value. If the EV versions were priced realistically, petrol sales would fall off a cliff.
Yes - a standard business lease comparison across all cars would be good as well (e.g. 8k miles, 3 years), often see cars with similar RRP getting very different business lease quotes
Nice car but it is in tesla territory when it comes to price so who is going to buy it?
indeed
Exactly
Nobody
Is the fog light switch really near the right knee under the steering wheel? Was Quasimodo the test driver?
I missed the comparison with the Opel. Wasn’t that the idea?
We don’t call it opel in uk
Holy cow that's an expensive way to not go very far quite slowly. About 8K overpriced I reckon and will be buried by the competition from the far east. Shame as its a nice looking car.
I’ve had my old jalopy eleven years and I never touched the top of the dash. I suspect it’s scratchy but what I don’t touch saves me twenty grand
I have a peugoet 406v6 2003 love it joy to drive thanks from NewZealand Idont need all that stuff 😊😊😊😊😊.
Not forgetting its available as a diesel as well....did you purposely leave that out I wonder?
I love the new Peugeot sterling wheel
Chapters please
It seems a pretty nice car, but selling it for the same price as a Tesla M3 is madness. It needed to be about £10,000 less, or failing that a bit less than a Renault Megane Etech.
Peugeot announced that the upcoming e-3008 will have over 400 mile range. More space, more range......but probably a lot more money!
and a lot heavier, too... one thing in the e-308's favour is the relatively low weight compared to its rivals. But - obviously there are other trade-offs.
Hugely pointless 98kwh battery. No one needs it. It's just 'fat'.
Tbf the e-3008 is rumored to cost around £40k-£45k
Real world range as opposed to claimed?
At 30k £ it would have been a good deal but not with this price.
You can Get the model 3 highland or mg4 and save some money
But at least this EV has indicator stalks!
Yeah £40k can get you a Model 3 which is the obvious choice. This E308 should not be any more than £30k for the top spec long range.
What is thé magnific colour ?
Selenium grey metallic
Same old small battery and limited range with way over inflated price.
Battery chemistry? That's important, because LFP batteries are happy to be charged to 100% on a regular basis..
LFP in cold climates though might not be so good? Stellantis have LFP coming but don’t know to which markets
@@Sherukka MG4 SE owners seem happy enough with LFP?
Personnaly I would go for ICE verrsion pure electric simply is 5 years off for UK infastructure and ICE is so much cheaper.
I’ve got the plug-in Hybrid 308. Looking at the finer details of this, I think I’ve gotten the best of both. It’s a beautiful car, inside and out. It really is a lovely build quality. Only the iffy infotainment system seems to be the real downside.
The climate control isn’t, in reality, confusing. There’s no temperature knob, but the screen button to adjust it is MASSIVE. Or you can press a button on the steering wheel and say “ increase temperature”
The in car voice assistant is truly awful. All she ever says to me is ‘didn’t get that’. She does my head in!
It really looks awesome this car, but that steering wheel... why? What was wrong with a normal steering wheel?
I’ve had Peugeot’s since 2014 and they’ve had those smaller steering wheels since then. Much nicer than the HUuuge ones in other cars. 🤗
You’d be better buying the cupra borne than this as it’s cheaper and it’s designed from the ground up as an electric car and not an ICE car converted to an electric one.
Yes, but the issue with the cupra born is that it is way too ugly. I'd rather walk than drive a born or an id3
That is not correct the 308 was designed as ICE electric and hybrid all in one
Who will buy it? Companies of course with their drivers'tax breaks. That gravy train saves the day for EV manufacturers
The base model is basically the same price as Tesla Model 3…
Absolutely beautiful but not more than 308SW.
Not really the SW, but just the regular hatchback 308 (27cm difference !)
Why the dislikes, and fidley infotainment? Really? No problems at all, must be the user.
The Peugeot E308 is dead on arrival is costs the same as a Brand New facelifted Tesla Model 3. Terrible...
I own this generation of a 308 and luv it..oh yeah it's diesel.
Don't you think Peugeot should have yoke steering wheel?
Why I have a 308 and the small steering wheel is brilliant
@@danielrussell446
That makes sense 🤔
Why is it so slow??
Plug-in hybrid is the best option
Hmm. Not sure about that when you look at the running costs, or consider the lack of environmental benefit..
I’ve got the Hybrid. Looking at the finer details of this electric model I really think I have the very best version of this car.
YOUR BIGGEST KENYAN FAN, SUBSCRIBER, LIKER, COMMENTER RIGHT HERE, AS USUAL, 11/10/2023
Even though I love Peugeot's design, Chinese will demolish the European market if they don't snap out of their crazy pricing.
You mean when europe increase takses to chinese cars to make them as expensive….
@@haukionkannel yeah, thats more likely
China will crush us if this is what we have on offer. MG already started to show the trend.
Yes they will because they don't play according to market economy rules. Subsidies left and right based on volume and not real demand. Labor costs kept artificially low....
Not sure. Chinese EV prices are not so cheap when the cars actually hit UK retailers. BYD prices are around 3x what they are sold for in China for example.
@@decimal1815 well, the EU has initiated an anti-dumping investigation on cars from China, and they don't start these if they don't have enough initial evidence for that.
Just wait the next EU tai for chinese made EVs…
Soon MG4 will be 40000 also!
😂
Forty thousand pounds for a Peugeot 308 ? At that price I'd rather keep my cash in the bank than waste it on that.
If I need a car I'll buy something for a fraction of the price.
aren't you the smart kid
lol, who in their right mind would pay for a peugeot the same money for a tesla 3 that comes with a lot more
EV's haven't really come on much. Should be getting EV's with a 500 mile range at a cost comparable with any other car by now.
Personally, I think it's a great car as a whole. Also, I'd rather support European developed and build cars than go for the short-term gain and buy a chinese EV (even if many of them are really good) but dismantle the european auto industry and thus the general economy. There are good developments taking place to develop and build EVs in Europe (even batteries), therefore I'd buy a Peugeot or Opel/Vauxhall Astra before an MG. Let's remember that MG is fully chinese, not british at all anymore.
What a poor review
You made the same comments on the petrol 308 review
I am glad I didn’t take it on board and ordered a new 308 allure premium the seating position is fine and you have to drive properly the small steering wheel is brilliant and makes the drive sporty and it’s relaxing on a run it doesn’t take much to get seating position correct
The interior is well made and feels expensive and unlike VW I have had no rattles at all
The interior looks good and Peugeot have made EV stylish in my view
It’s a shame that what car have done their best to critique a very good competent comfortable family car I am happy to keep and enjoy my lovely 308
Sorry but I switched off at the ticket price
Just get a used petrol versionand drive sensibly.
It's not competitive, price-wise.
Why on earth would you buy this car at £42,000?!?! Sales of EVs are declining as people are realising these cars are overpriced and not easy to live with as an ICE powered vehicle. As for a Stellantis product, forget about it!
We've been conned by the government and manufacturers. The EVs are way too expensive, costs more to finance and insure, eats tyres and we're going to have a huge headache trying to recycle all the batteries and electronics at their end of life.
...and firms behind public charging don't make it easy even though they are ridiculously expensive.
More EVs that the vast majority do not want to buy. Labour will force them on you like ULEZ and twenty mph.
If you are willing to spend that kind of money just go for a model 3. There is nothing exciting about this car. The MG4 is still the best value car that's also fun to drive and faster and this is not going to change any time soon. Also look out for the volvo EX30 in a few months starting from 37500 euros here.
I like the Model 3 from the outside but hate the touchscreen interface, so would never buy it for that reason. Also the new version of the Model 3 has the indicators on buttons = not good for UK driving.
Poor range and a hopeless range in winter, and why are you obsessed with acceleration? every video is the same, just encouraging folk to drive fast?
Seems to be completely inferior to the megane etech (same price). Lower range, less power, less boot space, less rear passenger space…
£42k for a Pug? 😂 I think not ..
I’ll stick with a hybrid next change, still far too expensive for most buyers🤨.
Used EVs with a few miles on the clock are the same price as HEVs, which are basically relatively ineffficient petrol cars with virtually no environmental benefit.
When gasoline will cost 10£/l or 10€/l 40000£\€ is not too bad…
Everythingn is relative…
ICE version much better and significantly cheaper
French and Italian automakers has historically produced beautifully designed cars with comfort and practicality, but there has NEVER EVER been a french car without electrical/electronical defects !!! So even though I am tempted over many French/Italian cars, I just can't afford taking the chance. Watching how expensive and frustrating ownership of these has been to friends, has only cemented my fear. (I do own older Citroëns though, but I never pay more, than I can afford exchange all electrical parts. They are great Mechanically.
My husband has had trouble free driving. He has an e2008. Lovely car. I had a 206 in the early 2000s and I can agree with what your saying! So many electric problems 😅
@@seancotter4610 😀 the e-2008 is still very new, so just wait till the guarantee runs out !
I have a 3008 plug in hybrid. 30,000 miles. No electric faults. In fact no faults at all.
@richardwilton722 well, I consider 30.000 miles to be a new car, so give it 3 years more 😉
@@lise1255 true enough. It’s only 14 months old and he had it from new.
Nice car but to expensive
😂if you lived by me i would move the otherside of the country wearing them shoes 👞 brown no way goodbye
too expensive, bye bye
The steering wheel is the most idiotic thing Peugeot has invented. Did this happen during a Friday AW?
Have test driven several different models that I thought looked very nice, but the steering wheel and the view over the instrument panel was so bad that there is only one word.
DISASTER
No, wrong! It is the best! Like it!
When will Peugeot get rid of that ugly steering wheel?
A modified retrofitted ICE car - for Tesla money.
😂
It's not, the platform was developed for both EV and ICE. But otherwise you're right, completely uncompetitive
@@alexanderstefanov6474It’s still a modified ICE platform. Like the Renault/Nissan platform, the Hyundai E-GMP and others. It’s all ICE derived architecture and ICE manufacturing approaches.
Compare to genuinely clean sheet designs from Tesla for example that don’t carry over the packaging compromises of ICE designs.
The usual overpriced mediocrity from the Stallantis group. That's the WLTP estimated range, so it'll be a lot less in real life. You can get a lot better electric cars for a lot less money. With offerings like this, the European car makers are going to go under because of the far superior and cheaper electric cars from China.
Stellantis really need to up their EV game, otherwise the Chinese will eat them alive
No they won’t. Stellantis makes some money on EVs, china cars is negative
Are they not making ice cars anymore? You really are trying to push the E market aren’t you? There are millions of us that can’t have electric cars. There is zero infrastructure for on street parking. Please review cars for people like us as well. Thanks.
I have only on street parking and have been running an EV for two years. It’s fine thanks.
@@devonbikefilms Good for you. How do you charge it?
Public charging on rapid chargers is easy and you don't need to charge at home. I did a year on public charging and still was vastly cheaper than fuel and at 125kw was charged in 28 mins.
No more new ICE cars after 2030… only 6 years left life time for new non EV cars…
What manufacturers can do?
It’s £40k, so no, just no!
Soon there will be really small size EV for 25000 with 150 mile range…
😂
0-100 in 10 sec lol my 1.6D still Is fast
To me most Peugeots look ugly on the outside and definitely all of them on the inside. However I hafta say a few of them look rly good like the 208 and the 408
I wonder what you classified as beautiful..
MG 4 may be a lot cheaper, but it’s Chinese made garbage 🤷🏽♂️
It’s just a prototype
Damn this what i call innovation :😂Id be ashamed to present this. Stellantis is done…
so.....did they even look at ANY of the competition? seriously overpriced, under delivered, cant see these selling many!
Far to expensive, really who can afford these cars
No thanks don't want to drive a death trap.
