Peugeot 308 SW Review 2025
Peugeot 308 SW At A Glance
One of the most striking looking estates on sale. Decent-size boot. Comfort-focused driving dynamics.
Rear seat space is lacking. i-Cockpit driving position isn't great for taller drivers. Limited engine choice.
It's great to see Peugeot persevere with estate cars in these SUV-obsessed times, even though it's now only with its refreshed 308 SW. With a declining number of alternatives vying for your consideration, has the French brand's mid-life update ensured its contender stands out? Find out in our full Peugeot 308 SW review.
It says a lot about the current car market that new and updated estate cars are a novelty, but that's how things are. Yet the Peugeot 308 SW is still very much here, offering a practical choice for those who want to sit closer to the ground than you would in other models from its SUV-heavy line-up.
It's a classy choice among estates of this size, with striking looks which have been refined further via a mid-life update. Visually, the Peugeot has changed quite a lot, with those massive 'claw' daytime-running lights replaced by a subtler motif that sits within the headlights, stretching across the top of the grille with a series of light-up elements.
The latter aren't as gaudy as you might imagine, but the light-up grille..? That may prove a step too far for some. Overall, the result is that the facelifted 308 SW is more distinctive. Less has changed inside its stylish cabin, contrasting massively with the dour interiors Peugeot favoured not that long ago.
Speaking of the cabin the quirky i-Cockpit layout, which comprises a small wheel mounted below a high-set instrument cluster, is very much still present. We recommend thoroughly trying out the 308 SW's driving position before signing on the dotted line, as it won't suit everyone.
An identical makeover has also been applied to the fully electric Peugeot E-308 SW.
The boot space is decent at 599 litres but you'll take a 132-litre hit if you opt for the Plug-in Hybrid version. That figure is also a fair bit behind what you get in the back of a Skoda Octavia Estate, although the no longer sold PHEV versions lost more boot volume, so we'll call that one a draw.
While we're on the subject of other hatchback-based estates, the 308 SW no longer has to worry about the Ford Focus Estate, which has been discontinued. It does have a rival that's very close to home in the form of the Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer, which is built from much of the same components, although it doesn't ride as comfortably.
Further afield, there's the SEAT Leon Estate and its sportier twin the Cupra Leon Estate, while throwing an extra rival into the mix, the hybrid-only Toyota Corolla Touring Sports is also well worth a look.
The 308 SW does well against that competition, partly because the Peugeot 308 hatchback is such a good starting point, with a driving experience that prioritises comfort without adversely affecting handling composure.
As for downsides, the Peugeot 308 SW's engine line-up is nothing special and along with its divisive i-Cockpit arrangement, room for adults in the rear seats is lacking. On the whole, though, it's a strong choice which has been made more appealing thanks to its 2025 mid-life updates.
Peugeot 308 SW Plug-in Hybrid: Range and charging times
| Peugeot 308 SW Plug-in Hybrid 195 | 51 miles |
Also available in the very last pre-facelift 308 SWs, the upgraded Plug-in Hybrid 195 has an additional 4.8kWh of battery capacity compared with the versions it replaced. With the latest models that results in an official driving range of 51 miles regardless of specification level.
The 308 SW Plug-in Hybrid's standard AC on-board charger can only manage energy at a rate of 3.7kW. Using a typical UK domestic home wallbox charger, a 0-100% recharge will take 4 hours 20 minutes.
For an extra £400 there's the optional 7.4kW AC on-board charger — it's standardised on the GT Premium trim level — With this the flat to full recharge time falls to 2 hours 5 minutes.
Peugeot 308 SW Plug-in Hybrids can't be recharged using a rapid DC connection.
Reviews for Peugeot 308 SW's top 3 rivals
Peugeot 308 SW handling and engines
- Engines range from 1.2 Puretech 130 EAT8 to Hybrid 225
- Readers report Real MPG to be between 28–52 mpg
Peugeot 308 SW 2025: Handling and ride quality
The extra weight that the Peugeot 308 SW carries over the hatch really doesn't make a discernible difference to its ride or handling.
The small steering wheel helps the 308 SW feel a bit more agile than it would otherwise, with keen turn-in, decent grip levels and confidence-inspiring body control. Granted, the Cupra Leon Estate is more entertaining still but the Peugeot is still engaging.
The Plug-in Hybrid 195 is 248kg heavier than the Hybrid 145 making it feel that bit more leaden.
The 308 SW is noticeably less firm-riding than the Leon Estate, doing a good job of ironing out the worst potholes even on the bigger wheel sizes, although there's a touch of suspension noise as it does its job. An appealing dynamic balance overall
Despite that increase in length, parking isn't too much of an issue. The 308 SW has a slightly better view out the back than the hatch, but it's not brilliant. Happily, you get rear parking sensors even on entry-level versions, front sensors and a reversing camera on mid-range cars and a full 360-degree camera system with a self-parking aid on GT Premium models.
Peugeot 308 SW 2025: Engines
While it wasn't especially broad before the 2025 facelift, the engine choices for the Peugeot 308 SW were reduced further at that point.
As of the facelift, the entry-level choice is the Hybrid 145, which is confusingly a mild hybrid arrangement that produces a total of 147PS, with torque quoted at 230Nm. Fast it is not, giving a 0-62mph time of 9.3 seconds and a top speed of 130mph. But hey, at least that's no slower than the hatchback equivalent.
Being a 1.2-litre, three-cylinder engine, it can sound loud and strained when you're extracting its full potential but you are better insulated from the noise here than you are in some other Stellantis products that use the same setup.
Drive to the front wheels is via six-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox, which is smooth for the most part, but can be clunky at times and takes ages to kick down.
The Plug-in Hybrid 195 uses a smoother 1.6-litre, four-cylinder engine combined with a larger electric motor. It's fitted with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission switching out the eight-speed auto used in earlier 308 SW PHEVs.
Previously, there were two different power levels, but now there's just one, producing 197PS and 360Nm. The 0-62mph time is 7.9 seconds, and the top speed is 140mph, or 84mph if running in electric-only mode. It doesn't feel massively quick, but it does cover ground in a more effortless manner than the Hybrid 145.
The fake engine noise that comes through the speakers in Sport mode is naff, although of more concern are sometimes abrupt transitions between electric-only running and hybrid power. This happens more often when you're putting your foot down, with the system operating reasonably smoothly most of the time.
Arriving later will be the diesel BlueHDi 130 which is expected to perform the same as it did prior to the facelift. That means it should offer reasonable refinement for a four-cylinder oil burner and feel fairly punchy, with 300Nm of torque making up for its modest 131PS power output.
Peugeot 308 SW 2025: Safety
Euro NCAP has one crash-test rating to cover both bodystyles as they are structurally identical. As it happens, it was the Peugeot 308 SW that the safety body elected to smash into various things. Its underwhelming four-star rating is more obvious when several rivals, including the Skoda Octavia Estate, scored the full five.
All of the usual driver aid suspects, including automatic emergency braking, lane assistance and a driver attention monitor, are included as standard across the range.
An uprated Drive Assist Pack Plus is fitted to GT Premium models, bringing additional features such as a long-range blind-spot monitoring system and rear cross-traffic alert.
Peugeot 308 SW 2025: Towing
You can tow with the Peugeot 308 SW and we expect the forthcoming BlueHDi 130 diesel to the best option as the pre-facelift version could pull a braked trailer with a maximum capacity of 1500kg.
Of the currently available models, the Plug-in Hybrid 195 manages up to 1360kg with the Hybrid 145 rated at 1150kg.
A manually retractable tow bar will cost you £790 as an extra-cost option.

Peugeot 308 SW 2025: Practicality
Unsurprisingly, you get more metal for your money with the Peugeot 308 SW over the hatchback version. Its dimensions make it 4636mm long, 1859mm wide and 1454mm tall. It's 269mm longer than its hatchback sibling although it's marginally shorter than the Skoda Octavia Estate, the Toyota Corolla Touring Sports and the Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer.
There's a 57mm longer wheelbase for the 308 SW over the hatchback which ought to translate into more generous rear legroom, although according to Peugeot's quoted figures there is no improvement. There is 3mm more shoulder room and 16mm of extra headroom, although such small differences deliver little benefit. Those who are six feet tall or over won't feel as comfortable as they would in the Octavia.
Smaller adults and children won't complain and for the latter there are two Isofix child seat mountings on the outer rear bench positions. Space up front is plentiful.
One bone of contention is Peugeot's unique i-Cockpit driving position, which sees a shrunken steering wheel sitting below the height of the dials rather than in line with them. As the wheel is mounted lower than it is in rivals, despite its small size it results in compromises for taller adults.
That could mean tall drivers block their view of the lower portion of the instrument screen with the top of the wheel to ensure enough clearance between it and their knees. Still, that only applies to some people with the layout working well for most.
There's a good abount of in-car storage with generous door bins, a central armrest cubby and a glovebox that, finally, doesn't have the fuse box taking up half the space. That's something that has been an annoyance in right-hand drive Peugeots for years.
The rear seats of the 308 SW split 40/20/40 and do so easily via boot-mounted levers. With those seats up the boot has a 599-litre capacity and has two separate underfloor storage compartments. That's not true of the Plug-in Hybrid 195 as its battery eats into the boot space, resulting in a seats-up capacity of 467 litres.
Peugeot 308 SW 2025: Quality and finish
Sat inside the Peugeot 308 SW shortly after stepping out of the Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer and you will feel the uplift in material quality despite them being closely related. There's greater use of soft-touch plastics, fabric panels on the dashboard along with visible stitching to mimic a leather finish. It's all really solid with no wobbly bits of trim.
Granted, poke around some areas lower down in the cabin and you'll find harder, less pleasant to touch plastics, but overall it's a nice place to sit.
Peugeot 308 SW 2025: Infotainment
The multimedia system in the Peugeot 308 SW is mostly better than that fitted to its predecessor, but there's still room for improvement.
Every version comes with a 10.0-inch central touchscreen combined with a smart 10.0-inch digital dial display within a separate cowling. The touchscreen is responsive but the software behind it can be laggy in performing various tasks.
Beneath the multimedia display is a smaller touch-sensitive panel that Peugeot calls i-Toggle. It's a configurable series of virtual shortcuts, allowing you to pick six functions you use often, including a phone number you frequently ring, prodding a larger icon rather than scrolling the sometimes over-complex menus.
It works well, while there are some proper physical switches underneath for various key functions. Still, we would happily ditch those i-Toggles for a row of physical climate control adjusters.
Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is now standard across the board, while an upgraded Focal sound system remains optional, although we don't find it to be particularly impressive compared with other bougie in-car audio setups.
Peugeot 308 SW value for money
Peugeot 308 SW 2025: Prices
Allure and GT versions of the Peugeot 308 SW represent a £1200 premium over their equivalent hatchbacks, while the range-topping GT Premium grade is £1500 more.
For the 308 SW Hybrid 145 that works out at £31,195 in Allure trim, £33,295 for the GT and £34,895 in GT Premium for.
For the same three trim levels with the Plug-in Hybrid 195 drive system there's a big gap, with prices listed at £36,295, £38,395 and £40,395 respectively.
Following along in March 2026 is the diesel-powered 308 SW BlueHDi 130 — expect its prices to be somewhere between the above engine choices for each trim level..
You can buy either the Skoda Octavia Estate or the Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer for less, although in each case that's for a non-hybrid engine paired with a manual gearbox.
Peugeot 308 SW 2025: Running Costs
If real-world, long-distance efficiency matters most the Peugeot 308 SW BlueHDi 130 diesel will still be the best choice, although as public opinion shifts away from the fuel it will be the smallest-selling engine. At least Peugeot can rely on various police forces buying a few. No official fuel efficiency figure for the updated diesel has yet to be confirmed.
Of the available line-up the 308 SW Hybrid 145 has an impressive offcial claim of up to 62.6mpg.
The Plug-in Hybrid 195 is good for up to 148.1mpg, but don't pay much attention to that figure. The current testing procedure heavily flatters PHEVs and what you actually get in reality will vary wildly according to myriad factors.
That said, charge it at home, preferably on a tariff with cheap off-peak periods, making the most of its electric driving range and you might only need to fill up with petrol on rare occasions.
The annual VED bill is the same regardless of model at £195 but the top of the range 308 SW GT Premium Plug-in Hybrid 195 will also attract the £425 a year (from years two to six) Expensive Car Supplement because it's priced above the £40,000 threshold.
Mind you, company car drivers will instead take advantage of the Plug-in Hybrid's 16% Benefit-in-Kind (BiK) tax rate to get hold of the 308 SW as a more affordable company car. It's half of the Hybrid 145's tax band but still high in comparison with the electric E-308 SW's 3% rate.

June 2021
Peugeot 308 SW revealed
For the first time, the new 308 SW is available with plug-in hybrid technology as well as efficient diesel and petrol engines, giving buyers the power of choice to choose the powertrain that suits their needs.
Inside, the new 308 SW comes with Peugeot's latest i-Cockpit interior and new connected infotainment system, the i-Connect® Advanced, which brings a smartphone-like user experience to the cockpit. The new 308 SW is also available with the latest semi-autonomous driver assist features and safety technologies.
Peugeot says the new 308 SW combines sharp lines with a practical design. The sloping roof, similar to the new 308, has been designed to maximise internal space for passengers and load items, while the pronounced skirt’s sleek lines give the new 308 SW an aggressive stance.
The new 308 SW measures 4.64m long – 6cm longer than the previous iteration, and has been lowered by 20mm, with a height of 1.44m. Compared to the new 308, the new 308 SW comes with a 55mm longer wheelbase, with the rear overhang 21cm longer for improved boot volume.
The new 308 SW has been designed with aerodynamic efficiency in mind and comes with a Cx coefficient of just 0.277. The aerodynamic performance is helped with the new generation of PEUGEOT wheels, which have been designed to reduce drag, and achieve a net carbon reduction of 2g/km CO 2 alone.
At the front, the new Peugeot 308 SW bears the new brand logo, featuring a roaring lions head. The logo neatly covers the radar used by the autonomous driving aids for a sleeker look.
All new 308 SW models come with Eco LED headlights as standard, and feature PEUGEOT’s now-iconic ‘fang’ daytime running lights, adding to the front profile, and making the new 308 SW instantly recognisable. GT and GT Premium models see the LED headlights upgraded to even sleeker Matrix LED lights for improved visibility and safety.
At the rear, the LED lights feature Peugeot's iconic three claw signature. Compared to the new 308, the new 308 SW does not feature a black strip that links the two taillights, with the new boot profile seeing the lights sit independently for improved load capacity.
Built on the new version of Peugeot's EMP2 (Efficient Modular Platform 2) multi-energy platform, load volume capacity in the new 308 SW is 608-litres, extending to 1,634-litres with the rear seats folded. The new 308 SW comes with a two-position boot floor, which helps improve capacity. The load area also comes with a 12V socket, with LED lighting and two storage nets and bag hooks. GT Premium models come standard with an automatically opening tailgate, which can be activated by sweeping the foot underneath the bumper or via the key fob.
To make it even more versatile, the new PEUGEOT 308 SW comes standard with a three-part rear seat configuration (40/20/40 split) and has a system to instantly fold the rear row by using two controls easily accessible from the sides of the boot. The three independently folding rear seats improve the 308 SW’s versatility, with the vehicle able to accommodate items up to 1.85m long.
The new 308 SW features PEUGEOT’s latest i-Cockpit ® interior and comes with PEUGEOT’s new i-Connect ® Advanced infotainment system that introduces a smartphone-like user interface to the 10-inch HD digital display. On GT & GT Premium models, the 10-inch HD display cluster features a 3D display. Fully configurable and customisable, this digital screen has several display modes, including those for the TomTom ® Connected 3D Navigation, media source, driving aids and energy flow.
A key development is the small steering wheel, which features sensors to detect the driver's grip levels when using driving aids. Ergonomically designed, it also includes fingertip controls for the radio, media, telephone and driving aids.
From Allure level, the new Peugeot 308 SW features fully configurable virtual i-Toggles®. Positioned alongside the central screen, they deliver both a sleeker design and enhanced ease-of-use. Each touch sensitive i-Toggle® offers a personalised shortcut key to numerous functions, including the air conditioning settings, a telephone contact, a radio station or an application launch.
The design for the passenger has also been optimised, with the centre console opening towards them. Reflecting the compact design of the new air conditioning unit, it allows more space than ever for storage and convenience and features a dedicated slot for wireless smartphone charging (from Allure Premium).
For improved smartphone connectivity, all models come standard with Apple CarPlay ® and Android Auto, with a new wireless connection from Allure Premium models.
The new 308 SW will feature the latest safety technologies and driver aids to ensure both the safety of drivers and passengers, as well as other road users. The new 308 SW will be available with the latest semi-autonomous features*, including:
- Semi-automatic lane change - The driver suggests a lane change manoeuver by setting the direction indicators. The system performs a semi-automatic lane change manoeuver if appropriate conditions are met and confirmed by the driver
- Anticipated speed recommendation - the system suggests to the driver that they adapt their speed (acceleration or deceleration) according to the speed limit signs
- Curve speed adaptation - at speeds of up to 112mph (where legal) the set-up optimises the car’s speed according to the severity of the bend
The new 308 SW also adds several features often found in higher vehicle segments, including:
(available as standard or optional depending on trim level)
- Long-range blind spot monitoring (75 metres)
- Rear Cross Traffic Alert
- High-definition 180° reversing camera with integrated cleaning nozzle
- 360 HD colour camera system with four cameras (front, rear and both sides)
- Semi-automatic parking assistance
- PEUGEOT Open & Go
- Heating for the windscreen and steering wheel
- E-call+ emergency call with passenger number information and location, including the direction of the vehicle in the lane
- Indexing the rear-view door mirrors when engaging reverse gear
Of course, new 308 SW continues to offer the same comprehensive array of equipment as its predecessor, which depending on the trim level includes:
- Adaptive cruise control with Stop and Go function (EAT8 automatic gearbox)
- Automatic emergency braking with collision warning and pedestrian and cyclist detection
- Active lane keeping assistance
- Driver attention alert
- Automatic high beam
- Traffic sign recognition
- Perimeter, volume and deadlocking alarm
- Electric parking brake
GT Premium models also come standard with a premium FOCAL ® Premium Hi-Fi system, which improves sound quality in the cabin through 10 speakers. The 10-speaker set-up is made up of:
- Four TNF aluminium inverted dome tweeters
- Four woofers/mediums with Polyglass cone and 165mm TMD (Tuned Mass Damper) suspension
- One Polyglass centre channel
- One Power Flower™ triple coil ovoid subwoofer
In keeping with Peugeot's commitment to the ‘Power of Choice’, the new 308 SW is available with two plug-in hybrid powertrain options from launch:
- HYBRID 225 e-EAT8 – a combination of an 180PS (132kW) PureTech engine and an 81kW electric motor mated to the e-EAT8 automatic gearbox. It emits as little as 26 g/km of C0₂ and up to 36 miles of 100% electric range (according to the WLTP protocol, in the process of being approved)
- HYBRID 180 e-EAT8 – a combination of a 150PS (110kW) PureTech engine and an 81kW electric engine mated to the e-EAT8 gearbox, with emissions from 25g/km of C0₂ and up to 37 miles of 100% electric range (according to WLTP protocol, in the process of being approved)
With emissions as low as 26g/km CO 2 , the new 308 SW is ideal for both fleet and business users with a Benefit-in-Kind (BIK) rate of just 13%.
Both versions are powered by a 12.4kWh lithium-ion battery, while there are two types of on-board chargers available - a standard 3.7kW charger and an optional 7.4kW fast charger. The estimated recharging time is:
- 1h 55m - 7.4kW Wall Box (32 A) when fitted with the optional 7.4kW on board charger and 3h 55m with the standard 3.7kW onboard charger
The new PEUGEOT 308 SW is also available with one petrol engine and one diesel engine. Complying with the latest Euro 6D regulations and currently being approved to the WLTP protocol, they emit as little as 117 g/km of CO₂. The options include:
Petrol
- 1.2-litre PureTech 130 S&S EAT8 eight-speed automatic.
Diesel
- 1.5-litre BlueHDi 130 S&S EAT8 eight-speed automatic
29-07-2021: Updated Peugeot 308 SW priced from £25,200
Peugeot has opened reservations for the new 308 SW, available for the first time with efficient plug-in hybrid technology alongside advanced petrol and diesel engines. With reservations now open, the new 308 SW will arrive in showrooms in early 2022.
From launch, customers have a choice between two plug-in hybrid powertrains – a HYBRID 180 e-EAT8 or the more powerful, HYBRID 225 e-EAT8, with both vehicles powered by a 12.4kWh electric battery and a 1.6-litre petrol engine. Both models are capable of up to 39 miles in electric mode under WLTP testing. With CO 2 emissions from 25g/km, the 308 SW HYBRID models are also eligible for a Benefit-in-Kind rate of just 11%, making them ideal for fleet and business users.
Both plug-in hybrid variants come standard with a 3.7kW on-board charger, with buyers able to add a faster 7.4kW as an option. A full charge with the standard 3.7kW cable takes 3 hours and 55 minutes, decreasing to 1 hour and 55 minutes when using the faster 7.4kW charger.
From launch, the new 308 SW will also be available with Peugeot’s advanced petrol and diesel engines. Buyers have a choice between a 1.2-litre PureTech 130 petrol engine and a 1.5-litre BlueHDi diesel engine. All models come standard with PEUGEOT’s smooth shifting eight-speed EAT8 automatic transmission with Stop & Start technology.
The new 308 SW adds a new level of style and practicality to the competitive compact estate segment, says the brand. The sloping roof, similar to the new 308, has been designed to maximise internal space for passengers and load items, while the pronounced skirts and sleek lines give the 308 SW an aggressive stand. The new 308 SW comes standard with Eco LED headlights, with GT and GT Premium models featuring Matrix LED lights for improved visibility and safety.
Compared to the new 308, the new 308 SW comes with a 57mm longer wheelbase and a 212mm longer rear overhang for improved space and boot volume. Load volume capacity is 608-litres, extending to 1,634 with the rear seats folded. A smart electric tailgate with foot sensor and pedestrian detection adds convenience and peace of mind and is standard on GT Premium.
The new 308 SW features as standard a three-part rear seat configuration with a 40/20/40 split, with each rear seat able to fold individually to improve versatility. Objects up to 1.85m can be carried inside the new 308 SW.

The interior contains Peugeot’s trademark ‘Piano Key’ controls alongside the new customisable i-Toggles® (from Allure trim onwards), allowing for easy access to key functions.
Plug-in hybrid models come with Electric, Hybrid and Sport driving modes, while petrol and diesel drivers can choose between Eco, Normal and Sport modes via the drive mode selector.
The new 308 SW is available with the following safety and driver assistance features as standard:
- Programmable cruise control and speed limiter
- Lane Keeping Assist
- Speed limit & traffic sign recognition and recommendation
- Driver attention warning
- Intelligent Speed Adaptation
- Active Safety Brake with pedestrian and cyclist detection

Other new technologies include:

- Anticipated speed recommendation - the system suggests to the driver that they adapt their speed (acceleration or deceleration) according to the speed limit signs
- Curve speed adaptation - at speeds of up to 112mph (where legal) the set-up optimises the car’s speed according to the severity of the bend
