The Peugeot 308 arrived in 2008 to replace the 307 and previous hatchback models, even though they shared the same platform. Originally, it was available in a five-door hatchback and 2-door convertible (308 CC) variants. Since its introduction, the Peugeot has been through three generations, each bringing more style, features and affordability to the market.

Different generations of used Peugeot 308
Third Generation (2021 to 2014)
The third generation 308 is the first from the company's lineup to include the new logo, featuring a lion's head. It also earned some styling features borrowed from the larger 3008, such as a big mesh grille giving it an aggressive appearance. The company added some design elements that made it more aerodynamic and reduced its drag-resistance factor for better fuel economy on motorways.
Inside the cabin, Peugeot went with a minimalistic dashboard and a low-mounted steering wheel. Several displays were included to modernise the interior and a split-folding bench was added in the rear.

Second Generation (2014 to 2021)
With the release of the second generation, Peugeot made the 308 more practical. Its weight was reduced by 140kg with the new platform and a narrower grille was added. With this update, the boot size also increased to make it more accommodating. In 2014, the GT was released, while the GTi followed one year later.
In 2017, Peugeot issued a refresh but there wasn't a lot to change, considering that the 308 won the title of Car of the Year in Europe previously. The only recognisable update on the outside was the LED daytime running lights, while the interior earned a more advanced infotainment system. The GT adopted new headlights, taillights and bumpers, while the GTi had a lower stance with the ground clearance being reduced by another half inch.

First Generation (2007 to 2014)
As a brand-new model, the 308 five-door hatchback instantly became a top contender among compacts. Built on the same platform as the 307, the updated version had unique styling that made it more modern and appealed to a broader market. Sticking with similar touches, Peugeot included the feline-style headlights, but the grille was moved to the bottom of the bumper.
Bucket seats adorned the front of the 308 and it had a high seating position to give everyone plenty of legroom. Gauges and interior touches closely resemble those from the Volkswagen Golf, which added to the model's popularity.

Used Peugeot 308 FAQ's
Which is the most popular engine in the Peugeot 308?
There are nearly an equal amount of petrol and diesel engine options in the used 308 selection, with both engines proving popular among 308 drivers. If you spend most of the time in town and don't do 10k+ miles per year, then a petrol 308 is your best option. If you regularly drive long distances and do 10k+ miles per year, then a diesel would be the best choice.
What are the most popular model variants?
The newest lineup includes the Active, Allure and GT model variants. The Allure has been the most popular, offering a mixture between value and features. The newest models include upgraded 17-inch wheels, a sat-nav system and a 180-degree reversing camera.
What optional extras should I look out for?
18-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels give the 308 a unique look, along with the full matrix LED headlights. You can also enjoy a larger 10.0-inch instrument panel and eight-colour ambient lighting.
Is the Peugeot 308 a good family car?
The five seats in the 308 are incredibly comfortable and supportive, making it a good family vehicle. There's also adequate boot space for carrying luggage or groceries. With the efficient powetrains, the 308 is affordable to run, helping families save money.
Is there a hybrid version of the Peugeot 308?
There have been two hybrid options, a 177bhp plug-in hybrid that offers up to 44 miles of electric driving or the 221bhp plug-in hybrid, which is rated for up to 40 miles per charge. Peugeot also makes the electric E-308 that emits zero tailpipe emissions.
Is the Peugeot 308 available as an automatic?
Peugeot has offered both a manual and automatic gearbox with certain 308 models. The manual is roughly twice as popular on the used market, but it's not difficult to find the automatic.
