PEUGEOT E308 SW - TIME TO PUT THE BOOT IN

EV Channels Review

The Peugeot E308 SW is presented as a stylish and practical electric estate car, aiming to revive the segment's appeal. The reviewer praises its attractive exterior and interior design, high-quality materials, and refined driving experience, noting its quietness and comfortable ride. However, significant drawbacks are highlighted, primarily its lackluster performance, uninspiring brakes, and disappointing real-world range, which is estimated to be around 200 miles in cooler conditions despite a WLTP of 254 miles. The lack of standard equipment, such as electric seats and a panoramic roof, on a car priced over £40,000 is a major point of contention. The reviewer concludes that while it's a pleasant car to drive and well-built, its high price point, especially compared to more affordable and better-equipped rivals like the MG5 or even SUV alternatives with longer ranges, makes it difficult to recommend. The reviewer suggests Peugeot needs to reconsider its pricing strategy to make the E308 SW a more compelling option.
