Peugeot 308 SW estate 2013 pictures

Newest generation is considerably lighter than its predecessor, making it better to drive

The 308's boot is comfortably the largest in its class

The suspension is set up for comfort rather than sportiness, so the 308 SW rides well

Black inserts, big wheels and LED headlights make the 308 SW GT stand out from the crowd

Large 9.7-inch touchscreen controls many of the car’s functions; dashboard is vastly improved

Rear legroom is a bit on the tight side – even though the estate is longer than the hatchback

The 308 SW has more boot space than a BMW 5 Series Touring – a car from two classes above

The most efficient engine is the 1.6-litre BlueHDi diesel, returning a claimed 88.3mpg

A lot of safety kit is available for the 308, but some is reserved for high-spec models
