The updated Peugeot 308 SW still offers a diesel engine, providing a competitive advantage over rivals, but has replaced all manual transmission options with automatics, increasing the vehicle's price.
The recent arrival of the updated Peugeot 308 SW in the Czech market brings notable changes, particularly with its diesel engine still available, making it a strong competitor against rivals like the Škoda Octavia. Among the modern features, one significant change is the removal of the popular manual transmission in favor of an automatic gearbox, which, while easing driving, also raises the overall cost of the vehicle.
The Peugeot 308 SW stands apart with a diverse offer of powertrains, including mild hybrid, plug-in hybrid, electric motor, and turbodiesel options, a rarity in the compact estate segment in Czechia. The refreshed design features a redesigned front end, which has been slightly modified while maintaining the signature three-piece daytime running lights and a distinctive large grille that defines the model's aesthetic. The latest version debuts an illuminated logo feature, marking a first for Peugeot.
Although rear changes are subtler, they still enhance the overall appeal of the vehicle, indicating that Peugeot is committed to evolution in design while delivering a robust performance package. This combination of features aims to keep the Peugeot 308 SW competitive in the compact estate market, appealing to families seeking a reliable and versatile vehicle, all while adapting to market demands.
