New PEUGEOT 308 and 308 SW priced

PEUGEOT has launched the New PEUGEOT 308 and 308 SW in the UK. The European Car of the Year Finalist and Women’s World Car of the Year is open for orders with prices starting at £25,270 for the New 308 and £26,470 for the New 308 SW.  

The New PEUGEOT 308 and 308 SW are the latest models to feature PEUGEOT’s distinctive design language and PEUGEOT’s next-generation i-Cockpit® interior. At the front, the New PEUGEOT 308 and 308 SW are the first models to proudly feature the brand’s new logo, a roaring lion’s head which also neatly houses the radar sensors used by the autonomous driving aids for a sleeker look.  

Both models look to continue PEUGEOT’s incredible success in the C-Segment and are available from launch with efficient plug-in hybrid powertrains for the first time, while fully electric variants will follow in 2023.

Inside, all models feature PEUGEOT’s next-generation i-Cockpit® configuration with a new compact multi-function steering wheel and a 10-inch HD capacitive colour touchscreen that houses PEUGEOT’s new i-Connect® infotainment system (available from Allure trim). Also new for the 308 and 308 SW are the customisable i-Toggles® controls (available from Allure trim) that allow owners to set personalised shortcut keys for numerous functions for enhanced ease of use. Both the New 308 and 308 SW can be specified with heated AGRaccredited front seats with 10-way electric adjustment and a multi-point massage system.

New 308 and 308 SW models come standard with a number of key safety and driver assistance technologies, including:

  • Active Safety Brake with pedestrian and cyclist detection
  • Intelligent Speed Adaptation
  • Lane Keeping Assist
  • Programmable cruise control and speed limiter
  • Driver attention warning

And can be specified with:

  • Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop Function
  • Full Matrix LED headlights
  • Rear Cross Traffic Alert
  • 360-degree surround view parking camera

From launch, both the New 308 and 308 SW are available with a choice of two plug-in hybrid powertrains in HYBRID 180 or HYBRID 225 variants. Both feature PEUGEOT’s 1.6-litre four-cylinder petrol engine and are powered by a 12.4kWh battery connected to an 81kW electric motor. Capable of up to 37 miles (WLTP) from a single charge, the HYBRID 180 is also eligible for a low 8% Benefit-in-Kind (BIK) rate (2022 / 2023), making it ideal for fleet and business users. A full charge using a 7.4kWh Wall Box charger will take just 3 hrs 50 mins, while the optional 7.4kW charger reduces this to 1 hr 55 mins.

In addition, PEUGEOT’s advanced 1.2-litre PureTech petrol and 1.5-litre BlueHDi diesel engines are also available, both with 130 bhp, giving customers the complete ‘Power of Choice’ to choose the powertrain that best meets their needs.
