Guess who's coming to Geneva this year! Peugeot is letting lose yet another lion onto the world, the next generation compact family estate that could have a big impact on the European market.
The new 308 SW will be revealed at the March motor show everyone is waiting for and will go on sale shortly after. Arriving in an already crowded class of vehicles, this latest estate puts design as its best foot forward, closely followed by the capacity to carry your stuff.
Based on the EMP2 platform and carrying over the same design as the 308 hatchback, there really isn't much to talk about in the looks department. The only difference is that from rear doors back, the car has been stretched from 4253mm to 4580mm.
Peugeot claims that its 610 liters of boot capacity is a best-in-class cargo space. However, the new Honda Civic Tourer launched last year bests it with a volume of 624 liters. The new 308 SW does redeem itself by being more spacious than rivals from Ford, Chevrolet, Toyota and matches class best sellers like the Skoda Octavia Combi and Golf Variant.
Switching to the new EMP2 platform has saved the 308 estate some140 kilos, which does help fuel economy. But Peugeot has also added lots of efficient Euro 6 engines, including a diesel that emits an amazing 85 g/km.
