Video Summary
The Peugeot e-308 SW is based on the EMP2 platform, shared with the e-208. It features an upgraded 51 kWh net battery pack with a 156 hp front-wheel-drive motor producing 270 Nm of torque.The car is not overwhelming in performance.
The electric station wagon market is relatively small, creating an opportunity for the Peugeot. A similarly equipped Opel Astra Electric Sports Tourer is about 3,500 euros cheaper. The Peugeot, costing €44,885, qualifies for a €2,950 government subsidy in The Netherlands.
The Peugeot charges at a maximum of 100kW. A 20% to 80% charge at a fast charger takes 30 minutes. This platform does not support battery pre-heating for faster charging.
The reviewed electric station wagon gets 7 kWh per 100 km, leading to an estimated 300km range in ideal conditions, but potentially 50 km less in winter.
Compared to the MG5 Electric, which is less expensive, the Peugeot offers a higher quality interior.
The infotainment system is not intuitive. Menus are too layered and slow to respond. It does not handle well on short, uneven surfaces.
The car offers 550L of cargo space, expanding to 1600L with the seats folded. There is no towing capacity.
The vehicle comes in Allure and GT trims. The GT trim adds luxury and styling but is more expensive.
Compared to a similarly-priced Tesla Model Y, the Peugeot has lower power and a smaller range and less intuitive technology. The Tesla is a better equipped vehicle, but the Peugeot looks much nicer.
The ride is fine and responsive, but stiff, especially at the rear.
