Compare the Vauxhall Astra vs Peugeot 308
AI generated from our expert reviews
Choosing between these family hatchbacks comes down to cabin ambience and design, even though the Peugeot 308 is longer than the Vauxhall Astra. Inside, the 308 provides a plush feel with a generous mix of soft-touch materials, whereas the majority of the Astra's cabin surfaces are hard-wearing rather than truly luxurious. Both models feature central infotainment screens that are clear and responsive, though both also share zip-up covers over their rear ISOFIX points that can prove awkward to access.
