Compare the DS DS 4 vs Peugeot 308
AI generated from our expert reviews
If you want a family hatchback that stands out, both the DS DS 4 and Peugeot 308 bring eye-catching French styling to the class. In town, both cars feature light steering that helps with urban driving. However, while all Peugeot 308s are easy to see out of, rear visibility in the DS 4 is very poor. Inside, the 308's infotainment setup is responsive and easy to navigate, contrasting with the DS 4's central touchscreen, which is frustratingly slow to use. Rear passenger room is tight in both cars, with limited legroom and headroom in the back of the DS 4 and not a huge amount of space in the rear of the 308, though the 308 is the longer car overall.
