All NEW 2024 Peugeot E-308 - FIRST LOOK Practicality, Exterior & Interior

The E-308 is Peugeot's latest foray into the electric vehicle market, following the success of its E-208 and E-2008 models. Aesthetically, the car doesn't stray far from its internal combustion siblings. It retains the overall look of the 308 family but distinguishes itself with an 'E-308' logo on the rear hatch and specially designed 18-inch 'Ottawa' alloy wheels aimed at reducing aerodynamic drag.

Inside, the car is equipped with Peugeot's i-Cockpit, which includes a high-definition touchscreen for the i-Connect infotainment system and a digital instrument cluster. The system also has a dedicated screen that displays various electric vehicle-specific metrics, such as energy flow, energy recovery during regenerative braking, and charging statistics. This makes it easier for the driver to monitor the car's electric functions and performance.

Under the hood, the E-308 is built on the eCMP2 platform, which is common across various brands in the Stellantis group. It features a 54kWh gross, 51kWh usable battery pack coupled with a 115kW (156hp) electric motor that powers the front wheels. The car offers a respectable driving range of up to 414km on the WLTP cycle, depending on the wheel size. When it comes to charging, the car supports a maximum recharging rate of 100kW DC, allowing for a 10-80% charge in around 29 minutes. It also comes standard with three-phase 11kW AC charging, which can fully charge the battery in about five hours and 45 minutes.

On the road, the E-308 offers a pleasing driving experience. It has good throttle response and excellent acoustic isolation, making for a quiet and comfortable ride. While the car leans towards a firmer ride quality, aligning with Peugeot's 'sporty' brand ethos, it remains comfortable for everyday driving. The handling is competent but not overly exciting, which is likely in line with what its target market is looking for.

One trade-off for going electric is the slightly smaller boot space. The E-308 offers 361 liters of cargo capacity with all seats in use, compared to 412 liters in its petrol and diesel counterparts. However, the car compensates for this with additional storage options within the cabin.
