Video Summary
- The Peugeot e-308 is the first Peugeot available with petrol, plug-in hybrid, and fully electric powertrains.- The e-308 looks similar to the regular 308, but it has e-badging, a green number plate, and aerodynamically designed 18-inch alloys.
- This car shares many parts, including batteries, electric motors, and its platform, with the Vauxhall Astra Electric.
- Its interior has soft-touch materials, but it isn’t a knockout compared to electric car interiors, which is disappointing given its price.
- There's reasonable space in the back seats, but a Cupra Born will fit adults more comfortably, particularly with headroom.
- The boot space is 361 litres, smaller than the petrol-powered version, but there is no front boot and little under-floor storage.
- The infotainment system is similar to the 308, with an additional menu for the electric car, but its layout is confusing with slow response times.
- There are customizable shortcut buttons to navigate the system.
- The driving experience is described as competent with smooth steering, but is not particularly exciting compared to rivals.
- It has a 51-kilowatt-hour usable battery.
- It delivers 154 brake horsepower.
- The quoted 0-62mph time is 9.8 seconds, which is considered only quick enough, not particularly fast compared to its rivals.
- An official WLTP range of up to 257 miles is possible.
- The car has an efficient heat pump for heating in cold conditions.
- The car’s Allure base trim costs over £40,000, and GT trim starts at over £42,000.
- For the price, it is not as impressive as its rivals.
