Evaluation:

If you are among our regulars, it will not have actually gone unnoticed that over the last fours years Nicki Shields has been pregnant on a practically permanent basis. There were 2 advantages to this: to start with, she now has 3 relatively (her own words) charming and similarly mad kids. And second of all, but most importantly, she now has the complete team required to test out the very best household electrical cars out there!

Most just recently she was fortunate enough to do a long tern test with a cars and truck in a section that is a little a rarity when it comes to electrical automobiles, a mid-range electrical – the Peugeot 308 .

Although the SUV has now become the default choice for households on the relocation, there was a time when an was the only method to go.

Then there's Nicola, whose rear seats normally reverberates to the noises of her two dachshunds beginning. They're simply as bad at leaving crumbs on the seats, however are a little much easier to get in and out.

In this long term update video, Nicki and Nicola compare notes about their time with the E-308. Is it truly a useful alternative to an SUV? How does it cope with a complete lineup of travelers on a regular basis? Is its 54kWh battery and 254 mile WLTP variety sufficient for a household on the move?

    Love Peugeots! So alluring adding style and thrill. The i-Cockpit makes me feel like I’m controling a spaceship. Bravo Peugeot

    The thing with Apple CarPlay I’m fairly certain is an Apple thing not a Peugeot thing, my dads 2018 Skoda Apple Maps also never integrated with instrument cluster and HUD until recently, so that explains why it works on Apple Maps but not google maps.

    Great looks, good enough performance and practicality for what it is, at a fair price, but rust? Already? On a press car? I know it’s french but …

    My experience with wireless Android Auto has been that the phone will disconnect from time to time. Never happens with plugging into the USB port, so I just do that.

    I’m currently driving the PHEV version of this. I’m ~185cm/6’ and I’ve no problem at all with the steering wheel.
    I’ve recently driven it from Brussels to the Rome area and I would’ve preferred to have done that in the EV version.
    Not in a single day mind, the EV version is definitely not the right EV to try that in. But having a toddler in the back, we split the journey over three days. 5-7hs of driving each day.
    I could’ve done that in the EV version. Sure, I would’ve had to stop a bit more often than I’d preferred BUT: I would’ve had a nice and smooth driving experience throughout the trip.
    Whereas the PHEV’s ride becomes considerably less nice when the battery depletes after say 1.5-2hs of hybrid driving.
    At that point you’re just driving a mild hybrid and that annoys me at this stage.
    I wish the EV version had more range and faster charging, but I’d still take it over the PHEV version.
    I wouldn’t necessarily take the 308 over the Astra though. I had the Astra PHEV hatchback before the 308SW and the Astra certainly beats the 308 on some points. I think it’s a handsome car too so don’t be fooled into thinking the Peugeot is necessarily better. It’s a pretty car but its design is also more pretentious and well… it doesn’t always deliver. In some points, the no nonsense Opel approach is just better. Those I-toggles are an example. Could’ve been better than the Astra way…. but just aren’t. They’re worse.

    The EMP2 platform has always been a good platform since it was launched in 2013.
    It is a testament to good design that after so many years of evolution it can support EV architecture and still be a joy to drive. It also has a relatively low weight, especially when compared to its successor platform STLA Medium.

    The car looks great inside and out, but I’m 5 foot 10, so I might struggle and I’m not keen on the idea of looking over the steering wheel at the binnacle. I wonder what Mike made of it?

    Peugeot and Citroen have just come 5th and 4th in the Driver Power Survey. I’ve had 2 2008 ICE and they have been great – nippy, economical, comfortable and no build issues. They look excellent too. Not convinced by EV in the UK so no brands win me over. Would like me a 208 ICE but will stick with my excellent 2008.

    That rust is because it’s a cast iron brake disc. Cast iron rusts. It will not harm the brake performance, or rot away. See every car you’ve ever washed after you’ve washed it. This is how you reassure yourself you weren’t overcharged for carbon ceramic brakes on your Pug.
