This is the all new Peugeot 308. The French family hatchback gets a new look, new plug-in hybrid powertrains and even a new logo - so is this the continuation of a resurgence for the brand? Auto Express was invited for an early look at the striking VW Golf rival - Deputy Editor John McIlroy finds out if it has what it takes to compete with the class best.

Can't believe people have an issue with the logo. It's the same one that was on the brilliant e-legend concept. Far superior to the cheap looking macarena lion.

I don't know what people in comment section find horrific in a new logo. I think it looks fantastic! Very stylish and suits new looks of the brand quite good. It's the first cool thing Peugeot did since Gilles Vidal left designer's chair last year. I think it's a good sign that current owners don't like new logo. Brand clearly wants to win young, more mobile, fashion oriented people. Fact that commenters will not want to buy a car because of its logo shows that they are not Peugeot's target audience anymore.

Actually the boot is smaller than the previous 308 - Peugeot spent extra length just for the engine compartment - which is OK only if it houses all the hybrid system's stuff.

Why are you claiming the boot is bigger than the predecessor? The current 308 has a 470 litre boot which is clearly larger than the 412 litres you mention in this car!
@paula200 3 жыл бұрын
Still looks rubbish from the side. It's that really old fashioned line of the rear door and it's 1/4 window that does it. Softer than the current model, but still looks dated and old fashioned. Also, most manufacturers have realised that consumers do not like touch screen heating heating controls, but they have stuck with them. Nah, not for me, im afraid.
@Sto79Be 3 жыл бұрын
Most manufacturers have not realised customers prefer physical heating controls. VW, Seat, and even Skoda have been moving the heating to touch screen too. In fact it’s a trend with pretty much all except Honda.

Why Peugeot is not offering the brilliant 1.2 130hp with a mild or more enhanced hybrid technology? The engine is punchy and frugal; so a hybrid system will lower the CO2 emissions and consumption even more

i'm not fluent in english but i think this guy says many bulshits , like the boot "is definitly bigger than before" wrong it is a bit less big 420l for 308 2 and 412l for 308 3 . He also says that we only can see gps and if we want to see the clim commands for exemple we are obliged to press a button it(s completly wrong, if we configure it well we can see both clim, GPS and radio. He seems to be the worst journalist i have ever seen. An other error he saus in hybrid the boot is 360l but it's wrong again , it 380l

Peugeot has gone mad. I love the design of their cars, but the marketing people are taking things too far. The logo is horrific. Wouldn't buy just because of the logo. And the new Peugeot website is a complete and utter mess too. When looking at the line-up, you can't tell if a certain model is offered as electric or hybrid or petrol/diesel. They've also introduced all kinds of vague terms like 'Peugeot Sport Engineered'. What? Plus the configurator doesn't even seem to work anymore either. Not good...
