  • Although the 5 door version of Peugeot's electric 308 had to make way for the Renault Megane and MG4 in a recent triple test, there is one advantage that might just stand the Peugeot apart - the fact that you can have it as an estate. So, to find out if this helps address a lot of the issues we felt hampered the hatchback, Bryan put the new SW (station wagon) through a standalone road test review to find out if this is the pick of the new 308 range.

    Great review, hit the nail on the head, performance , range and price are the issues.

    Good test, sympathetic presentation. For those who think they can hang a trailer behind it: towing weight is zero. Another good reason to look forward to another car. Peugeot has completely lost its way with its price policy. The car looks nice, but my money is not ugly either.

    I have the PHEV 225 GT Premium, which should have come with 3D dash and wireless charger but because of Supply Chain issues, I was paid for the missing items, though the dealer fitted the wireless pad later on. Mine has a sunroof and a powered seat which reverses when I get in and out of the car. Mine does have all the toys, 360 camera, powered boot, heated and massage seats. 0-60 in 7.6 secs so not slow slow. They stopped the Premuim models because of the Supply Chain issues I recon.
    I also paid less than the allure price you mention too.

    I have an e208 as a company car which is great for a second car. I’m thinking next year I’ll get a family EV and the e308 looks a very nice car. However, I have to echo your thoughts Bryan, it’s just too expensive to consider, unless my company get massive discounts (which they may).
    I do know though that an e208 is now very expensive on my company lease scheme, more than a Model 3 (yes really), so my guess is the e308 will be priced out of consideration for me.

    If you’re need an estate care, you’re probably going to be happy with a plodder. Either for work or for tripping with the whole family.
    Is it rated to tow and if so, what are the limits, in-braked & braked?

      look at the rear hatch opening, can it be any smaller? on my 306break i could put a baby stroller on its side. are they making cars unusable on purpose? only people that can afford passat variant can have kids in EU?

      After the massive scam VW pulled on its diesel customers and its refusal to do the right thing for them, you'd have to be a sucker to voluntarily give those criminals your hard earned money. They will never get another penny from me.

    MG5 isn't a competitor except showing up in the same search category on autotrader. It's so tiny in the back it might as well be a hatchback.
    There is hopefully still the enormous Stellantis discounts from new. Would hope when VED starts not to fall afoul of the premium uplift. Might be reasonable in a few years used.

    • @bellshooter
      @bellshooter หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Sorry that disingenuous, the MG5 is a properly priced family estate, this is overpriced. Stellantis is notorious for getting their pricing wrong and discounting down the line. If this was £6-8k less expensive, had a better performance, and actually had a decent range , then it could compete. But on performance, range and price it's an overpriced large slow box, not a competitive EV Estate.

    • @ronrubble
      @ronrubble หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      What nonsense. MG5 is absolutely a competitor. They have pros and cons as you point out, the MG is more affordable, the Peugeot has a larger boot, etc.

    • @sIightIybored
      @sIightIybored หลายเดือนก่อน

      @bellshooter @ronrubble if the con is the by far main reason you'd even buy one, there is no competition. Just because the Stellantis pair are much too expensive and aren't great at being EV's, doesn't mean they're not infinitely better estates than the MG5 or the Taycan.

    • @ISuperTed
      @ISuperTed หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I do agree somewhat. I’ve looked at the MG5 and it’s just not big enough for our needs, with 2 large dogs, camping gear and bikes. The e308 would be okay but I wouldn’t go near it new. Expect these to be £20-£23k in a years time, now that might be more tempting, but the range is poor too. It’s a no from me.

    WE REALLY need educated car reviewers to stop manufacturers pulling wool over sheeps eyes like here and today. sorryy but so man things are "cheaper" to do right in EV than to make it "wrong" like here.Ž
    Digital instrument cluster is about onl 20% of price of analog instrument cluster and thats the cheapest instrument cluster with no engine rev gauge. The ONE PEDAL DRIVING is harder to program car inverter NOT TO HAVE IT than just leave flat recouperation curve ant THEN YOU HAVE ONE PEDAL DRVING ON EVERY EV FOR FREE. Sorryy is it you just being a car reviewer but we really need a dialogue with manufacturers and not just someone repeatin manufacturer marketing slogans. You are a good reviwer but we need more arguments and reasons to make them produce cars WE WANT, not WHAT THEY WANT!!!!!

      We can only report on what we are given from the manufacturer in these first views. Until we drive it, we can then give a proper verdict on the car and how it is. When we drive it, we will tell it like it is and give a full opinion, good or bad!
