PEUGEOT e-308: Traditional “Petrol Car-Like” Feel with Good Efficiency

The 2026 Peugeot e-308 is a premium electric hatchback featuring a 115kW (156hp) motor and a 58.4kWh battery, delivering an impressive 279-mile WLTP range.

Key highlights include its distinctive “Lion-claw” LED lighting, the 3D i-Cockpit interior, and advanced Drive Assist Plus safety tech.

1. Body Style & Size Segment

The Peugeot e-308 is a stylish C-segment family hatchback (and SW estate). The hatchback measures approximately 4,365mm in length, 1,859mm in width, and 1,465mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,675mm.

2. Platform, Range & Performance

Built on the versatile EMP2 platform, the 2026 model features an upgraded 400V architecture. It utilizes a 58.4kWh battery (54kWh usable in earlier versions) providing a WLTP range of up to 279 miles (450km).

Efficiency is a highlight, reaching roughly 4.2 miles/kWh. Performance is steady rather than “punchy,” with a 0-62mph (100km/h) time of 9.8 seconds.

3. Technical Capabilities

Equipped with Peugeot’s Drive Assist Plus, the car offers Level 2 semi-autonomous driving, including adaptive cruise control with “Stop & Go,” long-range blind-spot detection, and lane-keeping assist. Matrix LED headlights are standard on the GT trim.

4. Interior & Storage

The interior features the iconic i-Cockpit with a compact steering wheel and a 10-inch 3D digital instrument cluster. Material quality is premium, often featuring Alcantara in higher trims. Storage includes a 361-litre rear boot (expanding to 1,271 litres), but there is no front storage (frunk).

5. App Functionality

The MyPEUGEOT app allows owners to remotely manage charging, pre-condition the cabin temperature, and view vehicle status.

6. Pros & Cons

Pros: Striking “Lion-claw” design; class-leading efficiency; premium cabin materials.
Cons: Slower acceleration than rivals; cramped rear legroom for adults; no front storage for cables.

7. Overall Summary

The Peugeot e-308 stands out for its sophisticated design and efficiency. While it lacks the raw power and rapid 0-62mph times of competitors like the MG4 or VW ID.3, it offers a more refined, traditional “car-like” feel that appeals to those transitioning from petrol models.
