Peugeot e-308

Model reviewed: SW estate range
Score: 8 / 10
“The Peugeot e-308 SW is a well-resolved and practical EV with a premium finish – a car that certainly merits consideration in what remains a very young market for zero-emissions estates. Its EV powertrain delivers sensible performance and solid range – and while slicker rivals will probably arrive in the next 12 to 18 months, for now, this has to be one of the best electric load-luggers out there.”

“In its transition from an internal combustion-engined hatch to a fully electric one, Peugeot has managed to carry over the strengths of the 308 into a package which is now quieter, smoother and more pleasant to drive. Yet while it feels like a higher-quality product than many of its rivals, other figures, particularly battery capacity and range, don’t stack up – especially when much of the competition is less expensive.”

“Long story short, the fully electric Peugeot e-308 is the best version of the 308 family. It’s quick, quiet, cheap to run, has decent battery range, and is every bit as practical as a petrol version. The SW estate, in particular, will be a great choice for those who want SUV-like practicality but without following the SUV crowd. It’s very expensive, though; you’ll have to really love it to justify spending £40,000 on what is basically a mid-sized Peugeot hatchback.”

“The Peugeot e-308 rides and handles well, and looks the part. But the hatchback doesn’t have the space, pace or versatility to easily carry off a £40k price tag.” (Matt Saunders)

“The Peugeot e-308 certainly corrects some of what was wrong with the (closely related) Vauxhall Astra Electric, but unfortunately it creates different problems for itself. We can appreciate the focus on ride comfort given the gentle acceleration on offer and the interior is plusher, but it’s not as easy to use inside and the Astra steers more naturally. Besides, an MG4 is quicker, drives better than both and costs an awful lot less despite having more range.”

“If you don’t mind the van-like looks, the Peugeot e-308 is a great family car with loads of space inside.”

“The electric Peugeot e-308 is here – it gets the same stylish looks and lovely cabin as the petrol and hybrid options, but its range isn’t as good as alternatives and it’s quite expensive.”

“In spite of its sharp looks, the Peugeot e-308 struggles to stand out amongst the already established competition.”

“We love the e308’s efficiency, practicality and the way it makes big SUVs seem cumbersome when you’re driving. The interior is a noice place to be too. But it looks crazily expensive for a car with its limited performance and a non-prestige badge.”

“In a sea of electric SUVs, the Peugeot e-308 SW is a practical alternative. The best electric estate car you can buy… for now at least.”

“Although it does a few things well, the E-308 is just too expensive to recommend. Cheaper rivals offer similar or more range, whilst similarly priced ones can go far farther on a charge and are more spacious, too.”

“The e-308 offers a better balance than the petrol 308 and smooths out the road with more aplomb. The fossil burner is decently pleasing to drive but the electric model, with extra weight and tweaked suspension as a result, along with a lower centre of gravity, is actually a joy to hustle along B-roads as well as pootle around in around town.”

“The Peugeot e-308 is an electric car that behaves like a good old-fashioned hatchback. We rather like that.”

“The Peugeot e-308 has a good interior and is comfortable on the move, but doesn’t stand out from rivals and it’s more expensive to buy than most of them.”
