The all-new Peugeot 308 and 308 SW

Peugeot has announced that orders are now open for its all-new 308 hatchback and 308 SW estate models, with first customer deliveries expected this November. These models represent an evolution in Peugeot’s design language, combining a dynamic low-profile silhouette with enhanced connectivity, comfort, and more efficient powertrains.

Design Refinement: Exterior and Interior

Both the hatch and the estate are offered in three trim levels: Allure, GT, and GT Premium, each featuring a host of upgrades. The cars wear an illuminated front grille with the new Peugeot shield, new alloy wheels, a gloss-black rear skirt, and distinctive 3D LED rear lights with the iconic “3-claw” signature.

Colour options vary: the hatch comes standard in a new metallic Lagoa Blue, while the SW estate has Ingaro Blue as its standard shade. Both versions are also available in Okenite White, Selenium Grey, Cumulus Grey, Elixir Red, and Nera Black.

Inside, standard features across all trims include power-folding door mirrors, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, and Peugeot’s signature i-Cockpit with a 10-inch touchscreen and wireless Mirror Screen functionality. There are also four USB-C ports (two front, two rear) and refreshed graphics in the digital instrument cluster.

Trim-Specific Features

  • Allure: Comes with full LED headlights, new “3-claw” daytime running lights, rear parking sensors, and an HD reversing camera. Interior décor includes dynamic front seats with “Tremezzo” fabric trim and fabric dashboard and door panels.
  • GT: Adds Matrix LED technology, sequential indicators that trace the claw shape, an illuminated grille and badge, 18-inch diamond-cut wheels, a leather steering wheel with a GT logo, and “Uzila” seat trim with green stitching and Alcantara touches. Also includes Peugeot’s i-Connect Navigation and configurable i-Toggles for shortcuts.
  • GT Premium: This is the new top-spec trim and includes heated Alcantara® front seats with multi-point massage (8 programmes) and electric driver seat adjustment, a heated steering wheel, a 360° camera system, 3D digital instrument panel, Clean Cabin system, puddle light projection of the Peugeot shield, and driver assist features (adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, lane-position assist, blind-spot detection, rear cross-traffic alert).

Powertrain Options

Peugeot is offering four powertrains for the new 308 and 308 SW:

  • Electric: The revised E-308 delivers 156 hp and 270 Nm of torque, with a WLTP range of 279 miles for the hatchback and 275 miles for the estate. It uses a 58.4 kWh (55.4 kWh usable) battery and supports three levels of regenerative braking, adjusted via paddles on the steering wheel. On GT Premium (and optionally on other trims), a heat pump is fitted to improve cabin heating efficiency. Charging is supported via an 11-kW onboard charger (20–80% in around 3 h 35 min on AC), or a 100 kW DC rapid charger (20–80% in just 32 minutes).
  • Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV): Combines a 1.6-litre turbo petrol engine (150 hp) with a 125 hp electric motor and a 17.2 kWh battery, offering up to 53 miles of electric-only range (WLTP).
  • Hybrid: A 48 V self-charging hybrid uses a 1.6-litre engine linked to a 16-kW electric motor and a 0.9 kWh battery, allowing purely electric driving for up to 1 km in low-speed traffic.
  • Diesel: From March 2026, a 1.5-litre BlueHDi 130 diesel engine will be available, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission (EAT8), aimed at those covering long distances.

For customers choosing the electric versions, Peugeot offers its Electric Promise:

  • 8-year / 100,000 miles warranty on the vehicle and on the battery
  • A Free2Move Charge Pass, giving one-tap access to over 700,000 public chargers across the UK and Europe.

Pricing and Incentives

Peugeot has priced the new 308 and 308 SW more competitively than the previous generation, despite the richer specification. The hatchback starts at £29,995 OTR, while the estate version begins at £31,195 OTR.
