The Peugeot 308 is a smart-looking and comfortable family hatchback which is really Peugeot’s equivalent to the Volkswagen Golf or the Ford Focus. It comes with a high-tech interior and lots of onboard technology, as well as a large boot and a varied choice of petrol and diesel engines – making it an altogether sensible and practical leasing choice.

For a family hatchback with comfort at its core, consider leasing a Peugeot 308. In terms of driving experience, there is a range of capable engines to choose from, while the suspension makes any lumps and bumps in the road virtually undetectable. An agile steering wheel makes directing the car easy, too.
Inside, there is an abundance of storage options, ranging from clever cubbies to a huge 470 litres of boot space. Peugeot’s signature iCockpit keeps the latest tech at your fingertips and makes sure every journey is as enjoyable as the last.
The 308 sits right in the middle of the family hatchback class when it comes to size, but one of its strengths is a larger-than-average boot and the 308 SW estate version is even more practical. The hatch has 470 litres of space with the rear seats in their upright position – around 100 litres more than its closest rivals, such as the Renault Megane E-Tech and Vauxhall Astra.
The 308 has lots of space in the front, with more than enough head- and legroom for even the tallest of people.
The door bins are a very good size, and spaces beneath the front seat armrest and in the centre console hold odds and ends. There’s only 1 front cupholder, but some models get 2 in the rear armrest.
The 308’s spread of turbocharged petrol and diesel engines have been tuned for efficiency – and that means lower running costs.
Official economy for the entry-level 110hp 1.2-litre petrol 308 is up to 54.9mpg, but the 1.5-litre diesel is the true eco pick, as it is capable of up to 69.5mpg. A brand-new 308 is due later in 2021 and will have plug-in hybrid models with an official all-electric range of up to 37 miles.

The 308 finishes midway in the family hatchback class and you get a 3-year warranty is standard.
Both of Peugeot’s 308 models have the same engines and interior tech – the only difference is in the length (the SW is just over a foot longer) and the amount of luggage space they have.
The Peugeot 308 scored four stars in the Euro NCAP test. It scored 76% in the Adult Occupant category and 84% in the Child Occupant category.
Their smallest cars like the Peugeot 108 and Peugeot 208 superminis aren't as family focused as the 308 due to their compact size. The Peugeot 508 and brand-new Peugeot 408 are larger family cars without being SUVs. Peugeot' SUVs are the popular 3008 and 5008 models.
