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.

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

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.

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

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.

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!

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

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!

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.

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?

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.

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

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

Peugeot have stepped up in designing a car definitely 👍

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?

The steering wheel/dash isn’t a major issue. For sure it blocks part of the screen but it’s only the very bottom in most cases and there is nothing down there. You can have about 5 different layouts of the digital dash with moves the dials about to help further. Every reviewer says about this wheel, but in reality it’s a non issue. They also say about taller drivers not liking it but to be honest the taller you are the less issue you have. 👍🏼

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 think the 306 had reliability problems, but we have never had a major problem on any of our Peugeots.. We drive hard and fast and used to drive on very suspect roads. And you can't beat them for touring. can be driven all day, every day at 90% of maximum speed. I currently have a 2012 308 HDi (2Ldiesel) Great car and really flies along.

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.

That's what a peugeot's assistant told me, i have read many articles too and that's what many people say when they review a peugeot .

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.

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😃
