NEW Peugeot 308 SW Electric Estate Review! Should You Buy This Or The MG 5?
Today I am filming on my own with this the new perso e308 station wagon it is the estate version of the electric hatch that we know and like very much so I want to find out today is this the electric estate you should be buying first things first here are the standout
Features of the 308 SWS exterior I love the front end and it is exactly the same as the hatchback which is no bad thing they’ve extended the roof line nice and tidily with those roof rails the tail lights look excellent but why oh why are there fake exhaust surrounds this is an
Electric car as for the boots what you’ll find when you open the electric tailgate down here is that there’s actually a pretty generously sized boot you’ve got a nice flat floor here obviously the batteries are down there but you actually got a good amount of loading space you’ve got pockets down
Here as well you can put some loose items and you can hide the charge cables under here there’s also a little bit more room there but as you can see then it’s all battery stuff so charge cables hiding away is a good thing that’s not actually always the case with electric
Cars these days and as I said you’ve got quite a long amount of space space in here I mean if you need to get more space in there well you just pull these levers here and then those fold down there and then you’ve got a lot of room
The same can be said for the rest of the Interior as well which is definitely spacious enough for a family plus with a fit and finish and a mix of materials to leave the mg5 electric feeling a bit plain you do feel like you’re getting your money’s worth even if this is
Getting quite expensive now anyway behind the wheel you feel like you’re in a sporti state and with Apple carplay and Android auto Now Wireless it feels as convenient as it does purposeful before we hit the road don’t forget to click subscribe to this channel if you
Haven’t already and give us a thumbs up if you’re liking this video oh and when you’re searching for your next car make sure you check out cinch. co.uk or download our app let’s get cracking with how this electric station wagon how this rival to the likes of mg’s five estate
And other models how it handles on the twisty stuff it handles really well I’m going to put it straight into sport mode because I can tell you this car feels so nicely flat around the corners there is a lot of grip these roads are very very accentuating of the talents of a
Electric car because there’s a lot of left right left rights and this car with its weight low in the floor with that battery it feels not only nice and flat around the bends but actually quite light footed as well now we know this battery is smaller than the battery you
Get in other cars especially given this is quite a long battery car it’s quite a long floor but somehow the efficiency seems to be there we know the e308 hatch is one of the most efficient hatchbacks you can buy in the electric world and so there’s no reason to believe anything
Will be different in this station wagon here in fact maybe a longer roof line will help with the aerodynamic efficiency so naturally with the extra weight this isn’t going to be any quicker quick enough though I must say for 99.9% of drivers and actually on this twisty Road here having the
Simplicity of an electric powertrain is really nice it went around that Ben well it’s got a very eager front end this is the key thing I’ve noticed about this platform from the stellantis group is that actually the EVS really feel keen on the nose and if you put your foot
Down because you’ve got that instantaneous torque there’s no hesitation from a gearbox for example trying to figure out what gear to be in you’re in the gear it’s drive and you put your foot down and it just kind of huls you out of the bend I can tell you
That it is very calming in here quiet the powertrain wi is there it’s present but it’s very much in the background and of course you’re going to have the radio on aren’t you or like me you might be yapping to nobody else in the car and a
Couple of GoPros now as before you’ve got three Drive modes you’ve got normal Sport and you’ve got Eco and I’ve dropped the car into eco mode now and I’ll tell you what it does it makes the accelerator a little bit less responsive it uh that’s it that’s all I can feel I
Can’t feel any other difference so in typical eco mode fashion all it does is it encourages you to drive a bit slower what I much prefer is to leave the car in normal so that I have a normal feeling accelerator but then I turn on B
Which is the brake setting on the gear selector and this will be familiar to all EV drivers and also some plug-in hybrid car drivers and this is the mode where it forces the battery to capture more energy when you’re off the accelerator so if I come off the
Accelerator now the car actually feels if I was a petrol driver I would think that I’m breaking right now but in actual fact what’s happening is energy is going back into the battery so it makes driving easier means you can do one pedal driving so on this twisty
Maning Road here I’m in normal mode I’ve got B on if I come off the accelerator go around the corner the car then slows me down and it means I don’t really have to break all right let’s do a n to 100 this is 100 mph section of road It’s
Relatively flat it’s a little bit downhill but then it goes uphill as quickly right zero and go right I’m going to tell you when we’re up to 100K is right 50ks 80 K 100ks there we go I don’t know how long that was but it didn’t feel that
Quick it’s also worth mentioning just how many driver assistance features you get on this car now there are lots to help you park the car you got a great reversing camera so while this thing is pretty long you actually have great visibility all around the tail of the
Car but when you’re going forwards and especially when you’re on for example a Motorway the adaptive cruise control and even the steering assist are very useful the thing I like about the steering assist in this car is that it’s not overly sensitive it doesn’t sort of
Bounce off the white lines it just keeps you nice and tidy in the lane so the new pjo e308 station wagon is a good handling handsome and spacious estate and a great first option for families looking to go electric but if you’re not quite ready to make the jump just yet
Click the video on your right to see a very unique option from the world of plug-in hybrids
