Compare the Peugeot 308 vs Peugeot 208
AI generated from our expert reviews
Choosing between these two Peugeots comes down to how much space you need. The Peugeot 308 is longer and gives you more room with the back seats folded down. Fitting adults in the back can prove tight in both cars, with four being a cosy squeeze in the Peugeot 208 and three across the rear bench not being the most comfortable on longer trips in the 308. In the driver's seat, both feature a small steering wheel that can block your view of the instruments depending on your driving position. When maneuvering in town, all-round visibility is pretty good in the 308, whereas the 208 has good forward visibility but suffers from rather large blind spots to the sides and behind. As for safety, each car achieved a four-star Euro NCAP crash test rating.
