Video Summary
- Electric SUVs are common but electric station wagons aren't.- Peugeot is releasing the 308 as the e-308 in both sedan and station wagon.
- The 18-inch bicolor wheels are standard on both Allure and GT trims.
- The station wagon is 27 cm longer than the sedan, adding knee and headroom for rear passengers.
- Rear passengers enjoy standard armrests and two USB-A ports.
- Electric tailgates are only available on the station wagon as an option.
- Cargo capacity is 548 liters, extending to 1574 liters when the seats are folded down.
- An underfloor compartment is available, but it reduces cargo volume compared to gasoline versions. Plug-in hybrid models have the same cargo volume as the electric version.
- Comfort AGR seats are well-designed and provide side support, adjusted with lumbar support. The seat can recline and change height electrically. But the seat goes forward/backward by using a lever.
- The seats in front of the e-308 do have manual seat adjustments for the front and back.
- While driving in the area of Southern Spain the reviewer states the seats are well-designed.
- The e-motor delivers 156 horsepower and 270 Nm, is enough, and works well with the car.
- The 0-100 km/h time is 10 seconds. Top speed 170km/h
- The ride is comfortable with good handling. But can’t be adjusted.
- The steering feels too synthetic and the power steering inconsistent.
- The 100 kW DC charging reaches 80% in 35 minutes and the AC charging is rated at 11 kW.
- The range is about 300 kilometers in a WLTP cycle.
- The reviewer's personal range indication didn't match with the range provided by the manufacturer.
- There is no one pedal drive mode.
- The reviewer highlights a plus, which is the customizable toggles beneath the touchscreen. This toggle is where you can easily select what you want to customize to this display. This touchscreen makes up for a bit of the slowness.
- Another strength is that it doesn’t announce as an EV to onlookers.
- Drawbacks: The reduced payload and the unauthentic steering.
- A GT line vehicle adds an extra 2700 euros. It also comes with heated seats and steering wheel, two-zone climate control, adaptive cruise control, and matrix LED headlights.
- Both cars, fully loaded, cost almost nothing more than each other. The extra sportier suspension is the way that a consumer is going to have to set itself apart on the different vehicles.
