Used Peugeot 308 for sale

About the Peugeot 308

A used Peugeot 308 is a brilliant example of how well Peugeot does hatchbacks. They’re reliable, high-quality, and really stand the test of time.

Not only that, but you can also get a used 308 as an estate model for some extra space.  

The 308 arrived on the scene in 2007 facing some very tough competition, with its main rivals being the Volkswagen Golf, Ford Focus and Seat Leon.   

However, we think the 308 really stands out from the crowd thanks to its modern styling, swanky interior and good standard levels of safety kit. 

You can get a used 308 with a range of options, including choices for trims, engines, and body types. It’s a versatile model that’ll suit so many motorists.  

What features does the Peugeot 308 have?

Inside, the Peugeot 308 features a very spaceship-like interior, with an odd-shaped steering wheel and interesting curves and angles leading to a driver-focused cockpit.   

However, we like it and think it’s one of the smartest and most modern hatchback interiors on the market.  

All 308 models come as standard with Peugeot’s i-Cockpit infotainment system, which is simple and easy to navigate once you know what you’re doing. Alternatively, you can just plug your phone into the car and use Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.  

Everything is where it should be when it comes to the switches and controls. Newer models come with an uprated 10-inch touchscreen too, which comes with a smaller display below it on the dashboard that displays some shortcut buttons.  

As for bootspace, the 308 has 412 litres of room, beating its rivals. This means a little interior space is compromised, but there's still enough room to seat four adults comfortably.

What's the Peugeot 308 like to drive?

The 308 got a revamp in 2021, arriving with an all-new plug-in hybrid system producing either 180hp or 225hp depending on the specification.  

A hybrid model is great for improved fuel efficiency and can help cut down on running costs.  

If petrol and diesel engines are more up your street, nearly-new and slightly older models come with either a 130hp 1.2-litre petrol engine or a 1.5-, 1.6-, or 2.0-litre diesel engine.   

We would suggest opting for the plug-in hybrid engine if you drive in cities a lot of the time, the petrol if you’re not ready to take the EV plunge, and the diesel if you tend to do longer motorway journeys.   

However, no matter the engine, the 308 drives like any other hatchback and is available with either an automatic or manual gearbox – again, depending on the spec.
