The line of the 308 SW is beautiful Nice presentation Bravo Peugeot 👏

[@andrewmarsden1970]

Peugeot have nailed those designs.

[@patriotbarrow]

AJ is a great presence on Autogefühl. He's quite technically inclined and conveys his impressions very well.

[@narc1408]

Autogefühl overload. Three cars, two presenters AND a dialog. I need time to process this... think I'll watch it again. But you don't stop, do more of these. It's always nice to see different opinions in a friendly manner.

[@gdwlaw5549]

Peugeot have the best chassis of any mainstream manufacturer! Great fun and true wow factor is guaranteed

[@alxactly]

Absolutely stunning car from every perspective.

[@TaipeiGeek]

Fugly

[@mart_en]

You think? I find the frontal overhang extremely long and way out of proportion to the rest of the car. 2:48

[@alxactly]

@@mart_en do you like eggs like the Renault espace then without a hood? It gives an athletic stance and a lot of maturity to the car imo.

[@mart_en]

@@alxactly Why eggs? I prefer good, well balanced proportions, that fit to the cars size. A long hood only looks good, if the wheelbase corresponds with it, meaning that the front wheels also move forward. That is not the case with the Peugeot however. The car grew 12 cm but the front wheels remained in the same position. I only responded to your post because you spoke about stunning looks from every perspective. However that doesn't apply for the side profile, where the nose sticks out way too much in the front. But I agree that the car looks good from the other angles.

AMAZING design! Peugeot did a great job

[@miguelmelchior986]

'Groomed' 😄 lion looks sharp.. Peugeot continues very strong on design caracter.

[@huwdavies6650]

Love the logo and Hatch or Estate, they both look good. There is talk maybe of an E 308 from 2023 which would definitely interest me.

[@zowahh]

Looks better than any German or Japanese hatchback

[@silimarina.]

I don't know about that, Mazda 3 is a strong contender

[@andrelima5124]

[@bigchief2331]

@@silimarina. Mazda 3 is hideous, the doors look like they've been caved in from an accident!! And inside.. no thank you!! Too claustrophobic. Peugeot have the best ergonomics, comfort and style, no contest.

[@silimarina.]

@@bigchief2331 lol, that's why Mazda got the Red Dot design award, because it's ugly :))). Just because you don't like it that doesn't make a car ugly. As for the interior, Mazda has a much better looking interior. Minimalistic, with much better interior quality, and is more ergonomic than 308 interior

[@yannmabille4383]

Great review. One important feature Peugeot did mention clearly to the French media is the customization of the small wide touch screen that displays the shortcuts icons. You can replace each button with a shortcut to most system features. Thanks

Very good format of video and review! More like this please!

[@autogefuehl]

highly appreciated !

[@danielrussell446]

Well done Thomas and AJ a great review as usual

[@paulday1220]

I had the current model with a 2ltr diesel, at 5ft 9 the steering wheel position was ok. I really liked this car, yes rear space was tight and the rear beam axel did cause some "skipping" on poor surfaces. AJ is absolutely spot on with his observations.

[@alber.a1232]

Enjoying seeing how some manufactures still “betting” for station wagon models. Not everything has to be replaced by SUVs, isn’t it?👌🏻

[@eirikasdoel880]

This is definitively my next car. I drove 2008 Peugeot 308 SW and now I am driving 2017 Peugeot 308 SW. The best car ever.

[@limpunsing224]

I like the 308 SW better Nice comparison review

[@mysurlytrucker7510]

I don't know if it's the same now , but my mate had a Leon, he got a stone chip and it went rusty straight away, the body material is important , peugeot usually seem not to rust that I have seen over the years, I have to say the new look peugeot I like with the fangs for running lights.

[@colinrenfrew48]

Peugeot have really delivered here. Stunning car!

[@coolhab1]

I would go for the SW. Peugeot did well with the 308.

[@Dkliptus]

Waouh, I wasn’t expecting that rear for the SW. Very nice!

[@AbsoluteBarstool]

Single bloke, 24 years old, but I would go straight for that estate for a daily. Such an easygoing, practical machine - even if it's too much car for my use case

[@ClaireYunFarronXIII]

I love the new logo. Much more modern. I also love it because they could use the new structure to integrate some sensors in the future.

[@Flying-spaghetto]

Indeed, and it already integrates a radar system.

[@gavinlewis3049]

New logo is like the new cars, much better, more modern and a breath of fresh air, they are putting French cars back on the map design wise, I haven't driven one yet, so I can't say If they are nice to drive or not.

[@aye3678]

Extremely cheap looking though. It looks like a teenager designed it during a class project. Especially when it is as large as it is on the front of the car. Old badge looks better. Shame that this badge is gonna stick for a while.

[@jacobzimmermann59]

Peugeots have always been great cars to drive so I wouldn't worry about that. Reliability is unfortunately another story.

[@ClaireYunFarronXIII]

1:41 Thomas is so brave! He can pet a lion! 🙂💖

[@autogefuehl]

[@TillOverHill]

Interesting that they matched the DCC Leon with the 308 for comparison. So far as I can tell from the discourse, the 308 still has got the torsion beam rear end, which the Leon also does have without DCC. It would have been nice to get a more direct comparison. Last year I switched from my 308-2 to a Golf 7.5 and the upgrade in suspension was instantly noticeable after the first bumpy corner. That aside I love the Peugeot interiors, and I do miss the joy of my 308 very much so I look forward to going back, particularly for the hybrid engine.

[@vs6300]

They have refused to fit the dwb rear suspension from the 508 which they easily could to keep cost low.

[@pap_chr5063]

Yes peugeot's are great

[@dragospahontu]

@@pap_chr5063 Peugeot cost cut in this version and it is ashame. The Seat Leon even with a torsion beam is more sure footed.

[@DeMarki81]

How does its driving compare to the new C4?

[@MaximilianvonPinneberg]

It’s the logo they had in 1930s. I like it.

Regarding sitting position: would it be enough to sit a bit more upright? From the video it seems you are hanging a bit backwards...

[@jamiep61]

[@langevert1359]

Que des petites critiques! Thomas est en mission pour l'industrie automobile allemande

[@markscars1069]

Peugeot make a lovely car. Not quite my thing but I admire the design and the engineering. They’ve turned it around from the dull days of the 406 I used to have to manhandle into the corners...

[@xflosama]

one month left and i get my black beast 308 sw gt

[@augure2589]

Fun fact! I’m french and I just by my first german car, a CLA and only own PSA cars so far (2 Peugeot, 2 Citroën). I love driving Mercedes, my new car is a beauty but the gap of quality geting shorter and shorter those past few years I guess.

[@danielsmoczynski8688]

Number One like always 🥇👍👍👍

[@paulbenson9542]

The only thing for me is questioning the complexity of the digital controls and screens. Such a lot going on! is that safe whilst driving or is it too distracting? I know all the advantages of the computer based controls with updates etc but part of me longs for simple easy to reach well damped physical controls. Mind you, hopefully it is more intuitive than the existing version.

[@R1S0.]

OMG! stunning looking inside out.... luxurious feel, awesome interior, lot of storage, no leather seats, those 5 hotkeys are awesome (they are customisable), that monochrome UI and map is so cool, that steering wheel, those rear lights (small turn signal though, i wish turn signal would use those 3 skewed segments of tail light)... oh man that hatchback is so awesome.... im thrilled. 12:37 im like please find an open button there, thats where i would put it, not above the licence plate :P .... i wish that hatch would have those aero roofrails as well...

[@DennisDinges]

I wonder how the handling compares with the latest basic BMW 1. I drive the latter and driven the last generation 308 SW. The BMW is miles ahead in driving, though I miss the smaller steering wheel

Why did you drove the old 308 in eco mode all the way? and I never had any issue with the front screen visibility in the old 308 one, never seen the new one so i cannot say anything on that but i assume its pretty much the same.

[@davidperry3531]

I really enjoyed this joint review from you two- please give us more. I recently ordered a new Mk 8 R Line Golf as was very impressed with the quiet ride and lovely handling and the new Peugeot 308 is not yet available in Australia, so I hope I have made the right decision. The new 308 SW is very swish though.

[@bigchief2331]

Bad decision.. Peugeot has always been superior to VW. The new Golf is especially disappointing, a real step backwards! Should have waited for the 308..

[@davidmill7289]

Great review and comparison guys. I can only compare our Arona 115 FR vs our 2008 130 GT Line (2018 model). The Arona feels that bit better quality and is quieter, whereas the 2008 is quirkier and more fun to drive. If Peugeot have improved their quality with the new 308/ 2008 they are really on a roll and I love their styling.

[@pap_chr5063]

What an Arona has better quality than a 2008? Have you ever been in the new 2008,its the best suv in its class. Its premium, good looking and has a well made interior. Peugeot became a premium brand since 2017

[@davidmill7289]

@@pap_chr5063 hi. No I have a 2018 model as stated not the new one. Quality is good and I love the interesting layout and responsive engine but overall quality of the Arona is slightly better, esp the infotainment system. However it looks like the new Peugeot models are better still.

[@pap_chr5063]

@@davidmill7289 yes peugeot became a premium brand in 2017 when the 3008 was released. Your model was released in 2014 that's why it is a bit cheap. However my mums ibiza had a worse quality than my sisters 2014 peugeot 208

308 sw perfection all around plus more spacious

[@marcinsobczak2485]

i drive current gen 308 hatchback and I see that a new one is exactly the same car with some facelift. I've noticed it since first official photos of exterior (the same long front, bulky body and small wheels) and now inside it looks the same especially when you climb inside the back and when you show the trunk. Many parts inside are the same too.

[@mathurinkerbouchard8931]

The wagon looks more stunning and beautiful

Regarding exterior looks, this sw is very beautiful and only surpassed by the Kia Proceed.

[@jacobzimmermann59]

[@cmrosado]

I believe that on paper the new 308 Diesel is slower on 0-100km acceleration than the old one. Also there is not driving mode sport at least in the allure versions, I think. Is it slower? Any comments on this?

[@tibortatrai2318]

Probably one those three cars I would get in 21/22 next to the new Sportage or the GLB!!
