► 308 hatch and estate get electrified
► Nearly 250 miles of range
► Mid 2023 sale date
Peugeot’s 308 and 308 SW are the firm’s latest models to receive the full electrification treatment. The snappily titled e-308 and e-308 SW will join the e-208 and e-2008 in Pug’s electric range, and will be available to buy in the UK from the second half of 2023. Prices are yet to be confirmed, but we expect them to start at more than £35,000.
The electric hatch and estate will feature a new electric system producing 156bhp, which should be capable of close to 250 miles of range. Peugeot reckons it’ll be the first EV estate from a European car manufacturer.
Specs! We demand specs
The new e-308 and e-308 SW come equipped with three driving modes; Eco, Normal and Sport. There is also an additional “Brake” mode which when activated allows drivers to recuperate energy when they lift off the accelerator pedal.
As standard, the cars come with an 11kW charger so you can charge at home. And it can go from 20% battery to 80% in under 25 minutes with the use of 100kW fast charging.
Let’s talk trim
The cars will feature Peugeot’s latest tech, including adaptive cruise control, i-Cockpit digital display, and an infotainment system featuring their latest connectivity technology.
The new models have several options which could be configured onto the car such as head-up display, heated steering wheel, and Matrix LED headlights available on GT versions.
Other safety features that are included are a long range blind spot monitoring system with upto 75 metres range, rear traffic alert and a Stop and Go function.
Higher spec models come with Peugeot’s signature fang-shaped headlights.
Anything else?
Although the new cars won’t be available to purchase in the UK until later next year, there is the option for buyers to order the car from the comfort of their home. Customers can configure, finance and part exchange online.
