[@ClaireYunFarronXIII]

Yay! Our brother Brian is back! Having the video title and thumbnail announce your return goes to show how much of a significant and amazing of an impact you have left on us long-time _Autogefühl_ watchers. Returning like an amazing character that has been gone for so many chapters. It is great to see you again...still expressing your thoughts extremely well, and moving with those short legs and long torso. 😅 Truly giving a unique perspective with your "setup." 😅 But seriously, it has been such a long time, brother. I hope you and your loved ones have been doing well, especially during these tough times of Coronavirus. Stay safe. 💖 Also, rest in peace, Holga. Surely was a great man and member of the team. He will be missed. 😢 Interesting question about hybrids. I guess it kind of depends. I have driven a few hybrids like the 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE, W222 S-Class, and A-Class, and I thought they were incredible. I think it depends on the vehicle I am driving, because a vehicle like the ones mentioned are not geared for performance, nor did they feel significantly heavier. Maybe I did not notice the weight, but I am not as weight-conscience when driving cars like that, and they did not lose control on bumps or road undulations. The A-Class was kind of noticeable, but not at all intrusive. I think it comes down to how well the car is engineered with the battery. Sometimes, they are afterthoughts-or feel like afterthoughts because they aren't developed from the ground up or aren't developed properly at all. It is kind of like when a big engine is shoved into a car, but the car is not further tuned to carry it. For me, whether hybrids are good just depends on the hybrid I am looking at, not all hybrids in general.

[@Daniel-Condurachi]

I have the older 2017 BMW 225xe plug-in hybrid that in a way used to be similar to what Peugeot used to to offer in the previous generation of their plug-in hybrids. But the BMW dynamics brings it to anther level. With some fatter tires in the back it's really sweet :P

[@smwatson1512]

Welcome back, Brian. I bought a 508SW partially thanks to your review. Looking forward to this.

[@autogefuehl]

👌😎

[@Mogsy28uk]

Welcome back Brian......now Thomas can go on a well earned holiday! First time looking forward to seeing a Peugeot review, looking very good.

[@UhOhUmm]

I hate the fact that there is an engine gap. 1.2 130bhp and then you have to step up all the way money wise to a plug-in hybrid. There needs to be 150-180 hp petrol version for this car to compete.

[@livolas]

Not that much of a difference between 130 and 150-180.

[@UhOhUmm]

@@livolas there is still a difference especially if the engine is larger displacement with more torque.

[@DeepSlice]

the bigger problem is the small engine that is being turbo boosted. It won't last that much.

[@carbonara2144]

@@DeepSlice Depends how long you are going to keep the car. Some VW come with 1.0 liter engines. 1.4 Tsi has been full of problems.

[@semiperfekt]

No that would not make sense in Europe. That would put them above 120g co2/km and the new bar to optimally get under is 95g.

[@CapitaineK]

Superb review Brian and a suberb car, Peugeot is nailing it lately

[@france4me117]

I love the fact that both Brian and Thomas are sooo articular and balanced in there analysis to there reviews. I find others to biased against French cars which is rather childish and dishonest to say the least. I absolutely live the SW.

[@marwenbacha7098]

The new logo, the new design, NICE!

[@BrokenAdam770]

Hi, I'm Brian, welcome to Autogefühl and welcome to the hills just outside of Cannes. We come here to bring you the brand-new Peugeot 308. Now, the predecessor to this car sold over 1.3 million units. So to suggest that this C-segment car is important to Peugeot, might be just a little bit of an understatement. We're going to take a closer look and find out just what they've done to it. There are so many changes that have taken place with this redesign, but I think it's important to mention right at the outset that there are 5 different trim levels: the entry level is the Active, then you have the Allure, the Allure Pack, the GT and the top one of all is the GT Pack. The car that we're driving here today is the GT and that's really important to note because there are some styling differences that are quite significant between the different trim levels. Now, I wanna start here: the 2 key things that immediately leap out at you are of course, this: the badge redesign. Now, if you think this looks slightly familiar, you wouldn't be wrong. But the last time that the lion's head featured by itself without the body was all the way back in the 70s, so this is a very new generation for the Peugeot and that matches this very new looking grille. If you're familiar with the predecessor to the 308, it felt a lot more standard. Now usually, you'd expect the 308 to be competing in the same sort of area as the Ford Focus and maybe the Škoda Octavia along with a wide range of other cars.

[@nevarran]

The new Peugeot models look really cool. Oh, and nice to see Brian back. I love his analysis of the exterior lines and design decisions :)

[@dr-ok3sn]

it was about time, welcome back Brian!

[@sbomorse]

Peugeot's colour game is strong with this model!

[@michelebicc6983]

It’s great to see you’re back Brian! I like the design of the new 308. However, I was expecting a larger (and newer) choice of engines.

[@pietvelkens219]

Thank you

[@jacobzimmermann59]

The hybrid powertrains seem pretty good at least on paper, though.

[@hiiiofficial8306]

I was looking at this or the new golf , im going for the golf a big reason was the choice of engines the golf has loads and a hybrid option, the peugout has got a cool design tho but its not for me

[@user-kw9qu2gz8v]

Brian with regards to the HVAC controls, I think you can create a virtual toggle that includes all of your preferred parameters, thus enabling you to put those on in one touch. I agree with you that it would still be better to have physical controls.

[@aye3678]

Great review, Brian!

[@frankthecat]

I really enjoyed this presentation. As an American it’s interesting to me how much time was spent discussing function. Seems like we just like how things look in general.

[@g__e__o]

As always, this Peugeot sometimes goes way over the form over function. But I gotta say that this feels so much nicer than the VW Golf.

[@hiiiofficial8306]

The design look better than the golf but not quality i own a golf 8 eveb tho its not as good as last year still very slightly better than this peugout

[@g__e__o]

@@hiiiofficial8306 But it feels oh so bland.

[@arekb5951]

@@hiiiofficial8306 where do you find that "quality" in a Golf 8? Infotainment is laggy and bugged, pretty much every button is put on an ugly piano black touch tile that collects fingerprints like mad, the ones on the steering wheel tend to have mind on their own, touch sliders for temperature/volume control have no backlight, they even skimped on painting the underside of the bonnet, not mentioning cowl plastics that are all loose, DSG gearbox takes ages to react to a sudden throttle input and it's the only modern car that gave me back pain after 3 hours of driving. I was genuinely shocked how bad the Golf 8 was when I first drove it, especially compared to the Golf 7.5 which I really liked.

[@Sherukka]

In Warranty Direct statistics on warranty time issues the VW Group cars have been soon 20 years almost every year among the worst. PSA cars on the other hand better than Toyota and Honda.

[@Ooze27]

[@M4GRAFIX]

I drive a peugeot and the steering wheel and i-cockpit view is not a problem. After driving with this small steering wheel i cannot not see myself driving with a big steering wheel. All cars should switch to the small steering. The 308 design is cool but the front peugeot badge could have been a little smaller.

Welcome back Brian, nice to see you again ;)

[@-Loki--]

The 308 is the only Peugeot I have driven and I was very impressed. French cars as a whole are pretty good, but their residual values are absolutely horrendous - with Peugeots being the best, then again you pay more for them.

[@hiiiofficial8306]

Cant polish a turd

[@bernarddsilva8050]

over 40 years of driving (with 5 PSA cars and 1 Fiat in service during that span). I have enjoyed every bit of it, residuals were not on my priority list. Bought 2 (25 yr old) ZXs for my young sons and they have been doing 400km trips regularly with them. Buy these PSA cars for driving comfort and pleasure.

[@TheAllMightyGodofCod]

Well, if you buy the car and use it until you can't do it anymore, instead of going for a new one every 3 or 5 years, you will save a tonne of money and the residuals become irrelevant. That's what I have been doing for the past 13 years with my Citröen C4 and loving the results. No problems with mechanics, the car is still nice to drive and I saved a lot of money doing that.

[@AG-jh1ky]

I would actually consider the lower spec 1.6 diesel… it will be much lighter, less complicated and still economical

[@FéargalO]

Wise choice going for the diesel.

Super looking car ..personally this is my #1 group that I love globally

[@bojned]

Probably the best looking car in the segment! Two things I don't like - 3 cylinder engine and no physical buttons for AC/infotainment. It is getting to a point that I would purposely not buy a car with "all digital" cockpits. I recently drove a 2018 Peugeot 208 and I was very annoyed with infotainment and the fact that thing is blasting light like crazy in the night. Thank God display can be turned off.

I love the look of these cars, especially the hatchback ones, there is a couple appearing the car park at work... But I am slightly concerned about knee room for anyone in the back. im about 190cm.

The interesting thing about the cockpit display 3D idea is that a concept car from Saab called Aero X that featured such tech years ago. Amusing how little things like that is now catching up into real function.

[@-Derp-]

welcome back brian

[@Arkeo36]

Hybrid cars make a good deal of sense for anyone who doesn't have the ability to top off the charge on an all-electric car because they live in an apartment, for instance, but who also has to actually drive the car at real world distances. Hybrids really are the best of all worlds for "normal" cars. When it comes to enthusiast machines, we will have to hope that tubular-frame kit-type cars with motorcycle engines are still available (that is, not illegal) into the future because otherwise having fun in a car is going to be totally impossible due to the weight and size inherent in electrified cars.

[@justjosh11]

Going to be coming out of a V60 II some time over the next year or two and want to 'economise'. I really liked the 508 estate, it looks brilliant, but wanted to save more money really. This sounds like the perfect car in theory, it maintains the great look of the 508 but should be more friendly on the wallet! Edit: just seen the prices, not such an attractive offering after all! Hopefully they'll get strong discounts as they're ridiculously expensive for a focus-sized Peugeot. Volvo do the same, over-value the mrrp of their cars - list price for mine is over £46k, I bought it 1 year old with a couple k miles for £27k, 2 years ago.
