2021 Peugeot 308 SW Revealed And It Looks Great
Wagon fans, the new Peugeot 308 SW is for you.
Peugeot has been making waves with their latest design language, which first debuted in 2016 on the 3008 and 5008, and has been evolving ever since. Now, we have a new Peugeot with the look. It’s the 308 SW, the estate variant of the 308 that debuted just this year.
The new 308 SW brings with it the new Peugeot logo, but more importantly, some very sexy styling. The new rear end is perfectly proportioned and equal parts elegant and sporty.
The 308 SW measures 4.64 metres in length and has a wheelbase of 2.73 metres. This is up from 4.367m and 2.675m on the hatchback model. You get an electric tailgate on this model, with a 2 position boot floor and 40:20:40 split folding rear seats.
With the seats down, the volume of space that can be utilised is 1634 litres. With them up, it’s still a respectable 608 litres.
The interior is the same as the hatchback model, and still as good looking and functional. The compact steering wheel, i-Cockpit and i-Toggles for the climate control are welcomed additions to the 308 SW.
The car also comes with 2 USB-C ports for device connectivity and charging. It can also connect two devices simultaneously to its infotainment system via Bluetooth.
Powering the 308 SW is a choice of plug-in hybrid, petrol and diesel engines. These are paired to either an 8-speed Aisin sourced conventional automatic or a 6-speed manual gearbox.
