Peugeot 308 III (P5)

Compact Hatchback

Product Gallery

Product Overview

Peugeot 308 III (chassis code P5) is an affordable compact hatchback in production from 2021. It is available with a range of inline-3 and inline-4 engines that displaced 1.2 to 1.6 liters.

Compared to the 308 II, the Mk3 has much improved exterior styling, thanks to inputs from the new Stellantis arrangement. However, the car's engines have been further downsized, and complexity has increased.

Peugeot has made a good effort in aerodynamics, with a decent 0.28 coefficient of drag to show for it. The official fuel economy rating is exceptionally rosy, though it may cast more doubts on the trustworthiness of the regulators and perhaps the owner's own sanity than it relates to reality.

Reviewer score 78% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from autocar have found:

It adopts the latest version of the EMP2 platform introduced with the Mk2 308 and also used by the 3008. The plug-in hybrids use a 1.6-litre petrol engine (producing 177bhp or 221bhp) and a 109bhp electric motor that is powered by a 12.4kWh battery, which offers an electric-only range of 34 miles. On 17in wheels, it’s excellent, soaking up bumps with aplomb and combining with the smooth, quiet powertrain to offer a smooth ride.

Pros

Elegant styling
Excellent powertrain
Decent range

Cons

Pricier than rivals
No hybrid option

Reviewers from autoexpress have found:

Build quality feels great, and the switchgear feels slick. Infotainment tech has previously been one of the big let-downs of Peugeot cabins, but for the most part, an all-new system has fixed this. New display features 3D graphics, in effect layering two screens on top of each other to give an impression of depth. Acceleration is adequate, sprinting from 0-62mph in 9.7 seconds - but more importantly, offering good mid-range pull.

Pros

Sleek looks
Great infotainment tech

Cons

No manual gearbox
No automatic gearbox

Reviewer score 74% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from carmagazine have found:

The new 308 continues Peugeot's i-Cockpit philosophy, which combines those digital screens with a small steering wheel over which you peer at the instrumentation. With the steering wheel's hexagonal shape, it's a bit like turning a leather-clad 50 pence piece. Its weighting is nicely judged, with a light, fluid feel at low speeds, and quick enough responses off the dead-ahead. Push a rocker button to switch from Hybrid to Electric: it feels neighbourly to waft through 30kmh villages.

Pros

Punchy petrol engine
Comfortable to drive
Decent fuel economy

Cons

Not the most practical
