2022 Peugeot 308 - The new lion-king of the hatchbacks? (GT premium) UK 4K 

Personally I think the previous 308 was just as good as the Golf and Focus.

Can’t believe how far Peugeot have come in just 10 years. Glad both them paint jobs are a no cost option. Great presenting Tish as always

As a French, I like how our manufacturers have really improved for the past 5-10 years. Even Renault is making a great leap with their new models, especially tech wise. My only regret is that we won't see any real sport versions of these cars anymore while their designs have become more appealing than ever.

Enjoyed the video Tish full of content as always personally like the green looks great.

Best looking hatchback for sure and the interior is amazing. I have sat jn a 1 series and a 308gt and peugeot's quality is the same as bmws these days

Great review Tish. I’m taking delivery of one of these in mid June. I sat in one for the first time today and they are awesome - superb design. My only, small criticism is the lack of legroom in the back. However, a beautiful car which definitely turns heads!

That avatar blue colour looks amazing on the estate Tish, love it. Detailed, quality reviewing.

This is my next car when I'm done with the Mazda 6, the GT premium tourer looks👌 If they brought the dual motor setup from the 3008 giving 300bhp and 4wd it would be a serious machine.

Fantastic review Tish. The Peugeot styling has massively improved from their old bland pudding-ish looking cars from previous years. I had the chance to test the 3008GT and the Diesel 5008 and they were really good. I love the dash layout and interior. The only issue I found was the climate controlling was via the infotainment screen. Not too sure if they are still like this with the newer 22 models.

Just for info. You can have the heated steering wheel as a programmable shortcut button. Once you are in the heated wheel screen, then hold down one of the shortcut buttons to programme it in. Have it on mine. Also a good tip is if you program one of those buttons for the start/stop but do it when you have already deactivated it, the start/stop function remains off even when you turn engine off and back on again. Not come across another car that doesn’t automatically reset it, so this is a godsend.

Great review of a VERY clean car !

Loved the exterior design. I wish this car was available in the US market, I would've considered it before purchasing my fourth gen Mazda 3. Anyway good detailed video, it's interesting to see what's available in the European market.

You introduce this car very well. Nice car overall. Best wishes.

Well done Tish an excellent review as ever what a fabulous looking Peugeot to use an old phrase they seem to be going from strength to strength they are making some really striking cars l would definitely look at one when I come to change my t roc!

Great vid Tish.!! Green should be popular in the British Isles as it will bring back memories of the British racing green.

Really love the green and the cockpit is pretty decent looking

The steering wheel is perfect for me! After this experience others seem crap as hell. 😂

Contrary to the new 208, I wasn't sure of this new 308's design when it was first unveiled a couple of months ago, nor was I necessarily bowled over by this green hue. However, I saw one just like this in Madrid a couple of weeks ago, and in the metal, I must say I thought it looked phenomenal. Peugeot design has really come on leaps and bounds as of late. It's classy and edgy, without being too brash (a critique one could level at many German premium cars). I only lament that lower-spec cars in the pug range don't have the sharp LED lighting effects, which dulls them down considerably from a visual perspective.

Looks fantastic and lovely colour

I don’t like green cars but WOW this colour looks amazing on the 308!

Great review lovely car.

Not sure on those leather seats but they might look well with the avatar blue. Definitely agree you’ve got to get it in the dark green to compliment the stitching

I like the dash. Your mum has a point about green and I am not sure about the centre console, it sticks out too much, lovely review 👍

Great review. Love the look of this design on the interior, not sure I'd get used to the steering wheel! Would you consider during these reviews to look into things like the lane positioning assistant / cruise control to give people an idea of how it compares to rivals?

Nice car Tish, like that green paint too. It needs a 1.5 litre to compete with the Golf though

Looking good tish nice leather interior car👍

Thanks Tish!

Peugeot have stepped up in designing a car definitely 👍

Best review and I have watched all the Euro ones. I have had a GT Premium SW in Avatar Blue on order since Feb.... supply problems mean no heated windscreen or 3D Heads up dashboard though 😔.

Nice

Olivine Green! Excellent color! Design = French flair. Unfortunately not a brand that we get in the US. Peugeot withdrew decades ago. But in my years in South africa I found it popular there: comfortable cars with long travel suspensions that do well one one exits from the excellent smooth highways onto dirt roads or badly maintained roads. Front end design reminds me a bit of the Cadillac designs. Definitely handsome. Performance? I guess there is a "GT" version?

My works car is moving over to Peugeot 308 Estates soon, but there has been concern over chips still and this has delayed their purchase. Hopefully this will be sorted soon as racking up the miles on a rented Octavia (which is nice, but was only meant as a temporary measure 10 months ago!) Would be interested to see how the new 308 Estate Version compares to the reviewed hatchback, especially with boot space & access Cheers ⭐️

Your English speaking is so nice!!! Love it.

When I got my 2008 last year I got serveral compliments on my car, never happend before.

Like it a lot, I’d be very interested in the EV version next year. And thanks for filling us all in, great work Tish !!

I love the look of the Peugeot 308 MK3, except the false tailpipes. I also love the olivine green colour on the hatchback. However, I love the avatar blue better on the wagon. However, I am disappointed that they’re not gonna make a high performance version like a PSE. What do you think niece Tish about a high performance version not happening? And one thing I wanna say: in Continental Europe, Peugeot sells the 308 MK3 with a 6MT, but only on the 1.2 3cyl and 1.5 diesel, but for some reason, we don’t get it here in the UK.

Great car

Peugeot have added a 1.2 Hybrid 136 e-DSC6 (non plug in) to the range....would be great to see you review this new addition :)

You covered everything...you didn't SKIRT around anything!

Good video, the best hatchback is also the best selling vehicle of all time, the mighty Corolla

Lovely looking car but I think the old logo looked more subtle, more refined.

damn i really like the back even after you call it a pug face lol

Did they have a red test drive model or is the inside of the door a different color than the car?

Heard that Peugeot has quality And reliability probs.i was planning to buy one because there's no doubt that it is a good looking car.

Im from Sweden and here petrol and diesel and well also current :D Are extremly expensive, I drive my P 2008 2022 in eco mode, and it saves alot of money. And Im a quite fast driver in the roads, no problem.

This is as exciting as the old 306 - I would have it, however I would have to try it because it looks like I wouldn't be able to see the speedo. Its an odd design I think.

I'm confussed as i have recently hired one with quite low mileage in france, that was a manual so is Auto only for the UK?

The PSA engines have the highest time interval for timing belt replacement, that is a big deal in engines world. 112miles for first replacement or 10 years for the 1.2 turbo 130Cp and higher for the diesel's.

Peugeot 🥰

Lovely good looking car, will the 3008 model have this new front/badge look for 2023 model?

Certainly light years ahead of the 309 I bought new in 1988, for build quality and interior quality. That car also annoyed me with a squeaky clutch pedal that wouldn’t go away! At least that won’t be a problem with this one. I would like to see a full electric version as when I change my car, planning on going full electric

Love 308’s great design, colour look good. I prefer black. But problem about steeling wheel block dial dash. Can u see dial dash or not?

Nice review Tish. Love the green, I have a 2022 Mustang GT on order in Eruption Green which is a very similar colour. There is some flair in the design of the 308, even if its not for everyone, Peugeot should be applauded for pushing the boundaries. The fake exhausts are dreadful. The widgets are a brilliant idea. It would have to be a plug in hybrid for me as the non hybrid engines are way too small and weedy. I haven't owned a Peugeot since I had a couple of 205 GTIs in the late 80s. Peugeot is not a big make here in Australia, its seen kind of niche with, rightly or wrongly, questionable reliability. Toyota, Hyundai and Kia rule here.

I've just bought one amazing car

I'd love one, as I have the current model but I want an EV now, so I have a VW ID.3 on order.

Je to kráľ automobilky

I wanted to lease to buy 308 PHEV or Opel Astra PHEV, but have to wait 2 more months to NZ market, not sure which one is better, any suggestion plz? thanks!

yes i go with you tish i like blue too nice peugeot 308 can you get this on lease do you know

Sat in one I'd love a PHEV one just they're too expensive for me

Green colour the best

Lovely design 👌👍

LOVE the colour, in 25 years of driving I’ve never had green.. it’s taken them too long to replace the previous generation, I’m surprised it didn’t come with added mould.

I think Tish enjoyed the new astra a little better.

Lovely looking car but I would have concerns that my wife (not very tall) wouldn’t be able to see the speedo with the low slung steering wheel. Do you look at it above or between, I’m a bit confused. Otherwise it’s a nice looking interior in the higher specs.

Such a great looking hatch. Well done Peugeot. I like the fact you can get the plug-in version. But when the fully EV will be available?

Just interested- why in a green car does the inside of the door pillar appear red????

Nice to see the diesel model now cheaper than the petrol.

I like olivine green

How come the car body work that is on show inside the car when your driving is red? A different car being driven?

I like green colour. But fame inside door there red paint. Why.? You thinks it be green. You did great job tell us about 308. Have nice day.

How does the Citroen equivalent compare?

I’ve noticed no reviewers say if there’s an option for a spare wheel…..strange!

Wish Peugeot was in the USA again-

Green

This is an absolute lovely looking car. It would have been 50/50 if this available when I bought my Focus St line. The steering wheel is my only concern, sport mode as well awesome. Does it come with adaptive cruise control?

It’s a shame that they no longer do the 2.0l diesel or the 1.6l petrol. The engines available are underpowered and make the cars a bit sluggish, they’re not capable of GT performance anymore. I’ll hang on to my 2015 version for a bit longer.

Io mi sono innamorato di lei

Green looks great, the car looks great, but for me the engines aren’t up to it. I’ll stick to getting a VW GOLF stronger engines great quality and above all very strong residuals when selling on. This is definitely the best 308 ever.

This car looks better without the badge

You don’t say ”Pjuushow” like Anthony and Sinead? 😆

Diesel(only one worth buying,by listening to the queue of disgruntled customers in a Peugeot garage this week) starts at nearly £31k OTR...that's about £2k less than a 2yr old BMW 730D M-Sport which was £96k new...I know my choice!

"On the continent" we do get manual gearbox 308.

"It doesn't feel like a Peugeot, it feels like a premium car"...WTF?

Great review as usual, but I might be one of a number who don't like this new Peugeot design language. It just seems too fussy and they're trying too hard to stand out - lots of slashes, gimmicks etc. I once thought the 'fang' style DRL's looked good, now I don't. I don't like the cabin, the steering wheel (despire being too small and a silly shape, it still obscures the instrument panel). Too many touch buttons (it's not just Peugeot who are guilty of that though - I'm looking at you VW), and even the physical buttons are 'piano style' keys, which i also don't like. The displays are just full of gimmicky colours, wipes and fades too - just to stand out I guess in the showroom. That gloss black diffuser will look terrible in a short space of time too - full of scratches that you can't buff out. I'm also pretty sure removing all manual gearboxes is a manufacturers first step in preparing people for EV's too. The car market is cut throat, and cars have to make an impact on a potential buyer as quickly as possible, but this just seems one step too far. The green is nice though.

No hot hatch version - not interested. My current car is the GTi version of the previous 308 model. A new 308 would not be an upgrade. PS the small steering wheel is one of the strongest features, I love it PPS re: the controls for Steering Wheel heating: I've had three Peugeots with heated seats and never turned on the heating except by accident. I've had one with a heated steering wheel and never turn ed it on at all. Absolutely useless features on any car, IMO.

There is no premium 308gt as Peugeot has decided without telling anyone that they are not making them. So instead you will get a 308gt with bits missing. Oh, mon Dieu! Nous avons commandé une 308 gt premium haut de gamme le 25 juin avec les spécifications qu'ils ont mises dans leur brochure pour cette date et ce qui est arrivé en novembre n'était pas la prime 308gt, mais une 308gt sans les spécifications que nous avons payées. Il manque l'i-cockpit, l'assistant de stationnement automatique 3, la plaque de charge et Dieu sait quoi d'autre, mais nous avons peur de regarder de trop près. Vérifiez donc auprès du concessionnaire que ce que vous voulez dans votre voiture sera dedans quand elle sera livrée. Et puis avant de payer pour cela, vérifiez à nouveau que Peugeot pourrait ne pas s'embêter.

I would get this for sure over a Golf or Ford. Ford had too many deaths from the Dual clutch transmission in the US to buy Ford. And the Peugeot quality on the inside and out look better now than the Golf which looks horrible now in its redesign. So if I had a new car, this would be it for sure, in the highest horsepower version. Wish we got this in the USA. We get Fiat and Alfa Romeo which are all rubbish, either too small, too large SUVS, or poor reliability. We need more small hatchbacks and wagons in the USA, which is imbecile in its purchase of large, heavy trucks, SUVS and EVs. European roads always have more small cars and I admire that. My small Volvo V50 is so easy to drive and maneuver.

WTF with that steering wheel having a very little room to see the gauges???!!!

Im just here for you who cares about cars

crap engines but nice looking carrrr

I don't think the new logo is very good, its too fussy I like the style of it overall, like you Tish, false tailpipes are wrong. The dashboard and Fisher Price/Play station steering wheel are a deal breaker for me. I've driven 5008 and 3008 hire cars for long journeys and the wheel is awful when manoeuvring, I found it not nice in the hand. The other thing the 308 probably shares with its siblings is the position of the cruise control, controls. Totally hidden behind the wheel and really awkward to use, to the point I gave up using cruise which on a 300 mile trip was annoying. I do like it, but as I say above I won't be buying one. If Stellantis do a good job with the other brands then I'll probably go for one of them in a few years Nice review Tish😃

After the Peugeot 405 I owned back in the early 90's, nothing on this earth would tempt me to buy another Peugeot. Mine was a financial liability. Without doubt, the worst built, most unreliable car I ever had the misfortune to own.....

Go easy on the botox girl 😂

About 6 years ago Peugeots were looking really nice, but they've totally lost the plot recently imo. This one is a total mess, ugly af. And touchscreen controls? Are manufacturers really still doing this? Cheap they may be, but they're also annoying at best and dangerous at worst, and everyone I know hates them.

Oh look their dumbass wheel that covers the gauge cluster no matter where you move it

hi i hope you fine ald all things is right ... i m seddam i love you both you and car i ask you ...are you married !! i m waiting for answer

pity auto only

Ugly looker.....nice interior

Reviewers always make it between golf and focus, plenty of other options including the Astra which is better specked than the Rivals, French cars are unreliable and expensive to put right, this thing is really ugly at the back , French crap

Even more ugly than the hideous Focus peugeot have lost it I have been a big fan of peugeot since the early 90s .that's now over hideous and vile colour.
