Compare the Peugeot 308 vs Peugeot 308 SW
AI generated from our expert reviews
Choosing between these two models comes down to your practical needs and how you prefer them to handle. Both the Peugeot 308 and the Peugeot 308 SW cruise happily and comfortably on long motorway journeys, and both feature light steering around town. Inside each car, you will find an awkward driving position layout, limited legroom and headroom in the back seats, and Isofix anchor points that are tucked away behind zipped covers. If you regularly carry luggage, the 308 SW gives you a bigger boot and more room with the back seats folded down. However, the hatchback 308 is pretty comfortable over bumps at low speeds and feels direct when steering into corners, whereas the 308 SW feels a little juddery over town bumps and has steering that feels quite remote on twisty roads.
