Description
Includes £500 off. The 2018 Peugeot 308 SW 2.0 BlueHDi 150 in GT Line spec is a car that proves family motoring doesn?t have to mean sacrificing a sense of flair. This is an estate that?s unapologetically French, stylish, slightly unconventional, and surprisingly rewarding to drive. It?s as if Peugeot decided that practicality and panache don?t have to be mutually exclusive, and the result is one of the most underrated load-luggers of its time.
Under the bonnet, the 2.0-litre BlueHDi diesel engine delivers a confident 150bhp, and it does so with a smoothness and mid-range punch that makes motorway miles disappear effortlessly. It?s refined at a cruise, punchy enough for overtakes, and returns economy figures that make long-distance driving not just viable, but genuinely enjoyable. Paired with a well-sorted chassis and accurate steering, it makes for a surprisingly engaging drive, even in estate form.
The GT Line trim adds a welcome layer of sportiness without veering into boy racer territory. Think LED lighting, bold 18-inch alloys, twin exhaust finishers, and a subtly aggressive stance. Inside, the 308?s cabin continues to impress, with Peugeot?s i-Cockpit layout lending a distinctly modern, high-tech feel. The seats are supportive, the materials feel a cut above the class average, and there?s an almost minimalist elegance to the design.
And let?s not forget the boot, at over 600 litres, it?s cavernous even before you fold the seats down. Whether it?s a growing family, outdoor kit, or just a weekly shop with room to spare, the 308 SW handles it all with Gallic charm. In a sea of sensible but soulless estates, the 308 GT Line stands out as a smart, stylish alternative that dares to do things a little differently, and largely gets it right.
