The Peugeot 308 SW (Station Wagon) is the practical estate version of the 308 family car, combining bold, low-profile styling with impressive versatility and a wide range of electrified powertrains including fully electric (e-308 SW) and plug-in hybrid options.
Key Features and Practicality
The 308 SW is known for its spacious interior and modularity, which reviewers praise for offering more boot space than some larger, pricier rivals.
Boot Space: With 660 litres of luggage capacity with the rear seats up, it is among the best in its class. Folding the rear seats down (which feature a 40/20/40 split with "Magic Handles" for easy access) creates a maximum capacity of 1,775 litres and a nearly flat loading floor.
Design: The exterior has a sharp, eye-catching design with a new illuminated front grille and the signature three-claw LED lights at both the front and rear.
Interior: The cabin features Peugeot's sophisticated PEUGEOT i-Cockpit, which includes a compact steering wheel, a digital instrument panel, and a 10-inch HD central touchscreen with customizable i-Toggles (touch-sensitive shortcuts).
Dimensions: The 308 SW is 4,636 mm long, 1,852 mm wide, and 1,450 mm high, with a wheelbase of 2,732 mm.
Powertrain Options
The 308 SW offers diverse choices, with a focus on efficiency and electrification.
Petrol (PureTech): A 1.2-litre turbocharged three-cylinder engine is available in 100 hp and 130 hp outputs, typically with manual or automatic transmission options.
Mild-Hybrid: A new 1.2L Hybrid 136 (136 hp) 48V mild-hybrid engine combined with a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission improves fuel efficiency.
Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV):

These models offer an electric-only range of approximately 47-50 miles (up to 66 km).
