Peugeot 308: Compact Hatchback with Plug-In Power

The 308 competes squarely with the VW Golf and Ford Focus, and offers a plug-in hybrid option.

The Peugeot 308 sits in the heart of the competitive compact hatchback segment, offered in both hatchback and SW estate body styles, aimed directly at the VW Golf and Ford Focus crowd.

A plug-in hybrid variant adds an electric-only driving mode for shorter trips while retaining a petrol engine for longer journeys, giving buyers flexibility that few rivals in the segment match at the same price point.

Styling and interior quality have been a strong suit for recent 308 generations, with the same i-Cockpit driving position found across the rest of the Peugeot range, giving the car a distinct character next to its more conventional competitors.
