The new Peugeot 308 made its debut as a five-door hatchback late last year, so a wagon version of the European C-segment mainstay is all but expected. This is it, the Peugeot 308 SW, set to debut at the Geneva show in March.
Carrying over the newfound simple lines and solid image of the 308, the Peugeot 308 SW is 4.58 metres long, 330 mm longer than the hatch. Boot capacity is claimed to be class-leading at 610 litres. Rear seats are folded with a single action from inside the boot and the floor is fully flat. Like its EMP2 modular platform hatch sibling, the 308 SW is 140 kg lighter than its predecessor.
Engine choices should mirror the hatch. The list includes a 1.2 VTi three-cylinder with 82 hp, a 1.2 e-THP turbocharged three-pot producing either 110 hp or 130 hp, and a 1.6 THP with 125 hp or 156 hp. Diesel engine options include a 1.6 HDi (92 hp or 115 hp) and a 150 hp 2.0 litre BlueHDi. The latter emits just 85 g/km of CO2, a new segment benchmark.

The Peugeot 308 SW will try to win over European buyers looking at the Volkswagen Golf Variant and Ford Focus Estate starting this spring. Like what you see? Nasim sells the bigger 508 SW in Malaysia.

better car than the 2008, perfect alternative, id get this in a heartbeat. That clean center dash looks amazing.
macam cantek jer
macam comel jer
Swear i thought it was a Benz at the first glance.
beautiful, sadly demand for this kind of car in malaysia is too low, even 508 SW is hard to see on the road
Yes, Malaysians still think of market vendors when they see a wagon.
Europe is totally different. In Germany >85% of all registered Passat are wagons. A wagon is considered a sporty lifestylie product there.
Not enough buttons in this car.Please add more.
This is a car, not an aeroplane.
i always have a soft spot for french cars…my father used to own a 405 GT. my uncle used to drive a xantia and citroen evasion..i think on ride comfort, no other car maker can touch them. proton should hire top designer to design their cars…cannot la everything made in malaysia. there is no shame in doing it as every other player in the industry oso imported their talent.
The same cannot be said on latest French cars… for example, the current gen Peugeot 308 sold in Malaysia is very firmly sprung. Same to Citroen DS4/DS5.
think this will come to malaysia? really looking for an affordable wagon.
please bring this to malaysia. hdi engine please. msnual box would be nice too if its not too much to ask..
Sweet mother of Jesus
Dear SM Nasarudin,
Please introduce this pug 308 SW to malaysian market as soon it launch in euro. Klang valley people are in need of wagon type of car with affordable pricing and latest automotive technology
Sekian
the problem is, many ask, but few buy. same for manual transmissions.
I always adore wagon type car and this 308SW makes me salivated.. yum.. yum!!
It is really nice but the horror story about the SC in Malaysia makes me put aside the very thought of owning one. I wish they can improve on the service. When will this be?
i think their servicing are improving yearly. their network is growing. unlike some other so called “Premium German” brand which keeps quiet (look at their facebook)
you mean Volkswagen? hahaha yeah VOLKS = So called premium german brand. volks is just People’s Car actually. :)
That is one sleek and stylish looking wagon type car.
Does anybody any idea when are they going to upgrade 508?
The 508 launched in 2011 while the 308 launched since 2009 (current model). Expecting an upgrade of 508 maybe in the next 2 or 3 years.
thanks
I just don’t like the dashboard look..it looks the same across most of the latest range…what can’t make like 508 one..that looks much elegant..
