Overview
The Peugeot e-308 SW is a fully electric estate car operating in a sparsely populated segment. Positioned as a sleek, practical alternative to other family crossovers and estates like the Volkswagen ID.7 Tourer and Toyota bZ4X Touring, it transfers the sharp design, high-end cabin feel, and compact footprint of the core 308 range into an all-electric wagon. It focuses on efficiency and usable real-world boot space over quick acceleration.
Design
Featuring low-slung, athletic proportions, the e-308 SW stretches the standard hatchback platform by nearly 27cm to accommodate its estate body. The front features a wide grille, an illuminated lion badge on higher trims, and Peugeot's signature three-claw LED lighting pattern for the daytime running lights. Tight character lines along the sides lead to a squared-off, aerodynamically-optimized rear finished with slim rear light clusters. Gloss black window surrounds and aero-efficient alloy wheel designs up to 18 inches complete the exterior styling.
Interior
The cabin is centered around the latest iteration of the Peugeot i-Cockpit layout, consisting of a low-set, compact steering wheel paired with a high-mounted digital driver display. A central 10-inch touchscreen handles infotainment, complemented by customisable, touch-sensitive i-Toggles directly beneath it for quick-access shortcuts. Material quality remains high across the dashboard, featuring textured fabric panels, brushed-metal accents, and an available Alcantara trim.
Performance & Powertrains
Power comes from a single electric motor producing 156hp and 270Nm of torque, driving the front wheels. It manages a 0-62mph time of 9.9 seconds and tops out at 106mph. Energy is supplied by a 55kWh battery, achieving an electric driving range of up to 275 miles. The maximum DC rapid charging speed is capped at 100kW, allowing a 20-80% charge in 32 minutes.
Practicality
The e-308 SW offers a 548-litre boot capacity with the rear seats in place, expanding to 1,574 litres when the 40/20/40 split-folding rear bench is dropped flat. The cargo area features a wide opening, low load lip, underfloor cable storage, and built-in tie-down points. While front passenger space is generous, rear knee room and legroom are notably tighter than in key hatchback-derived wagon competitors due to the vehicle's compact rear wheelbase.
Buying
Pricing for the e-308 SW line-up starts from £31,995 for the entry-level Allure trim, moving up to GT, and topping out with GT Premium. Allure models come equipped with 17-inch alloy wheels, HD rear-view camera, and digital climate control as standard. Upgrading to GT brings full matrix LED headlights and 3D digital instrumentation, while GT Premium adds a heat pump, 360-degree cameras, and massaging front seats.The EV Hub recommended configuration is the mid-tier GT trim as it represents the sweet spot in the range, providing the signature 3D i-Cockpit display, matrix LED lighting, and key driver assistance upgrades without reaching the top-end price tag of the GT Premium.
