ELECTRIC ESTATE! PEUGEOT E-308 SW DRIVING REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Peugeot e-308 SW GT is presented as an electric estate offering a compelling design and a comfortable driving experience, particularly noted for its excellent noise insulation, which significantly improves upon its predecessor. The GT trim features sporty microfiber seats with an effective massage function, enhancing comfort on longer journeys. While the handling is described as agile and fun, especially with the unique "gaming-like" steering, the reviewer points out that the electric powertrain, while adequate for most situations, is not the most powerful, with a 0-100 km/h time of around 10 seconds. A significant drawback is the small 51 kWh battery, which limits the real-world range to approximately 320 km (200 miles), making it more suitable as a secondary vehicle for longer trips. The infotainment system, while quick, has a somewhat convoluted interface with a mix of digital and physical controls. The trunk space is generous for an estate, but rear legroom is comparable to the hatchback version and can be tight for taller passengers. Despite these limitations, the e-308 SW GT is praised for its competitive pricing, especially in the GT trim, making it an attractive, albeit range-limited, option in the electric estate segment.
