New Peugeot 308 and 308 SW unveiled

The new 308 is the first in the line-up to feature Peugeot’s new illuminated emblem, accompanied by a redesigned grille and striking three-claw light signature. The new Peugeot 308 also offers enhanced connected services on the road, as well as Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) and Plug & Charge functionality.

Inside, there is a newly integrated instrument cluster, the 10-inch central touchscreen, and the main vehicle controls. The unique architecture of the dashboard is designed to free up maximum space for the benefit of the front occupants.

Integrated into an elegant black band under the central touchscreen, the five i-Toggles allow users of the new Peugeot 308 to configure shortcuts to their preferred settings for certain functions, such as air conditioning, favourite phone contacts, radio station, navigation to home, etc. There is also a choice of eight colour ambient lighting that extends from the dashboard to the door panels.

The new 308 offers Plug-in Hybrid, Hybrid, diesel (in the form of a 1.5-litre BlueHDi engine with 8-speed automatic transmission), as well as the fully electric E-308.

The Plug-in Hybrid 195 combines a 125hp (92kW) electric motor with a turbocharged 150hp (110kW) 1.6-litre four-cylinder combustion engine for a combined peak power output of 195hp (143kW). The seven-speed e-DCS7 dual-clutch automatic transmission guarantees quick and smooth gear changes.

This second-generation plug-in hybrid powertrain includes a 17.2kWh battery that provides an additional 12 miles of range, giving an all-electric driving range of 53 miles (WLTP combined cycle). When specified with the 7.4kW onboard charger, standard on GT Premium, the plug-in hybrid can be recharged in just over two hours from a 7.4kW charger.

The new E-308 offers a new powertrain with increased range, with the 156hp (115kW) electric motor, offering 270Nm of torque, being paired with a 58.4kWh (55.4kWh usable) battery. This powertrain offers an extended range of up to 281 miles (WLTP combined cycle), representing an increase of 23 miles compared to the previous model. For greater efficiency in heating the cabin in colder climates, the new E-308 comes as standard with a heat pump on the GT Premium trim, and is available as an option for Allure and GT.

Heated front seats and a heated steering wheel are also standard across the range for the new all-electric E-308 and E-308 SW.

A three-phase onboard charger comes as standard, delivering a maximum 11kW of AC power, offers 20% to 80% charging times as low as three hours and 35 minutes from an 11kW charger. With a 7.4kWh charger, this will take five hours and five minutes. Using a 100kW DC rapid charger, it is possible to go from 20% to 80% charge in 32 minutes.

Available from Autumn 2025, Peugeot offers the new Peugeot 308 and 308 SW models with the four powertrains and three trim levels, Allure, GT and GT Premium.
