Peugeot 308 Lease Deals

The Peugeot 308 is a five-seat family car sold as a hatchback or an estate, with petrol, diesel, plug-in hybrid and electric power and three trims. This page explains who it suits and how to pick the right body, powertrain and trim before you check the live lease deals.

The Peugeot 308 is a five-seat family car sold as a hatchback or an estate, and it's the car that sits between Peugeot's smaller hatchbacks and its SUVs. Reviewers consistently call it one of the better-looking cars in its class, and that styling is a big part of why people shortlist it.

The choice is refreshingly simple. Two body styles, four powertrains - petrol, diesel, plug-in hybrid and electric - and three trims: Allure, GT and GT Premium. Every version is automatic and front-wheel drive.

It suits couples, small families and company car drivers who want something with a bit of character rather than the obvious default. One thing worth knowing before you order: Peugeot's small steering wheel and high-set digital dials divide opinion, so sit in one first.

About the Peugeot 308

The 308 is Peugeot's family hatchback and estate, currently in its third generation, on sale in this form since 2026. It carries five people, has a boot of 314 to 599 litres depending on the version, and comes with a 3-year / 60,000-mile manufacturer warranty.

Road testers generally praise the cabin design, the ride comfort and how quiet it is on a motorway. The common criticisms are rear seat space, which is tight for taller adults, and that low-set steering wheel arrangement.

It's also one of the few cars of its kind still offered with petrol, diesel, plug-in hybrid and fully electric power, and the electric version covers up to 279 miles on the WLTP test in its best form. You'll find the rest of Peugeot's range on our Peugeot lease deals page.

308 body styles

Two shapes, same car underneath. The hatchback is the shorter, easier-to-park option at about 4.37 m long; the estate stretches to 4.64 m and adds a longer wheelbase and a much bigger boot. Trims and powertrains are shared.

Estate

The 308 Estate holds 467 to 599 litres with the rear seats up, and up to 1,487 litres folded. The longer 2.73 m wheelbase helps rear passengers too. You give up a little manoeuvrability.

Hatchback

The 308 Hatchback is the neater choice for town and tight parking, with 314 to 412 litres behind the rear seats and up to 1,323 litres folded. Same cabin, same kit, less load length.

Why lease a Peugeot 308?

Because the standard equipment list is strong from the entry trim, and leasing keeps you in a car with a fixed monthly cost and no concern about what it's worth in three years. Every 308 is automatic, so there's no gearbox decision to make.

Every version gets adaptive cruise control, keyless entry and start, a digital instrument cluster, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a rear-view camera, rear parking sensors, lane-keep assist, automatic high beam, autonomous emergency braking, air conditioning and an electric parking brake. Rain-sensing wipers, privacy glass and power-folding mirrors are standard too.

Servicing falls every 12 to 24 months or 16,000 to 20,000 miles depending on the version, and the spare is a tyre repair kit rather than a wheel. Towing runs up to 1,550 kg braked on the best version - the plug-in hybrid is limited to 750 kg.

Which 308 powertrain is right for me?

Four choices, and the right one comes down to your mileage and whether you can charge at home.

Petrol

The 1.2-litre turbo petrol has 145 bhp, an automatic gearbox and front-wheel drive. It's the simplest answer: nothing to plug in, 48.5-62.6 mpg on the official test, 0-62 mph in 9.3 seconds. A sensible default if your journeys vary.

Diesel

The 1.5-litre diesel produces 129 bhp with 300 Nm of torque and an eight-speed automatic. It returns 50.1-59.6 mpg officially and tows up to 1,550 kg braked, so it suits high-mileage motorway drivers and anyone with a caravan or trailer.

Plug-in hybrid

This pairs a 1.6-litre turbo petrol engine with a 17.2 kWh battery for 192 bhp - the quickest 308 at 7.9 seconds to 62 mph. It needs charging to make sense, taking 4.3 hours from 0-100% at 7.4 kW on the best version. Boot space drops to 314-467 litres.

Electric

The electric 308 has a 58 kWh battery, 154 bhp and a WLTP range of up to 279 miles. Rapid charging peaks at 100 kW, covering 20-80% in 30 minutes on the best version. If you can charge at home, it's the cheapest to run - our electric car guide covers the basics.

Which 308 trim should I choose?

Three trims, and Allure already covers the essentials - GT and GT Premium add design detail and comfort kit rather than changing the car.

Allure

Allure brings 17-inch "Bangkok" diamond-cut alloy wheels, Peugeot's full LED headlight technology, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, cloth upholstery, paddle shifters and a heated steering wheel. Front parking sensors, blind-spot monitoring, a 360-degree camera and a detachable towbar are available as options. The Allure is currently available from £313.19 a month.

GT

GT swaps to 18-inch "Helsinki" diamond-cut alloys and adds matrix LED headlights, connected 3D navigation, front and rear parking sensors, ambient lighting, voice control, and a grained leather steering wheel with a GT logo insert. A panoramic roof and wireless phone charging are optional. The GT is currently available from £327.48 a month. Against the Allure, that is currently £14.29/mo more expensive.

GT Premium

GT Premium adds heated front seats, four-way electric lumbar support for driver and front passenger, massaging front seats, electric seat adjustment with memory, a 360-degree camera, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert, plus cloth and leather upholstery. The GT Premium is currently available from £338.03 a month. Against the GT, that is currently £10.55/mo more expensive.

Similar cars to consider

Worth a look alongside the 308: the CUPRA Leon and the Volkswagen Golf cover much the same family-car ground, while the CUPRA Raval and BYD Dolphin sit a size below if you don't need the space.

Peugeot 308 FAQs

For a family with younger children, yes. It seats five, all versions have a rear-view camera and rear parking sensors, and the boot runs from 314 to 599 litres depending on the version. Reviewers do note that rear head and knee room is tight for taller adults, so the estate is the safer bet for teenagers.

To get the benefit, yes. The 17.2 kWh battery charges from 0-100% in 4.3 hours at 7.4 kW on the best version, and without regular charging you're carrying the battery's weight for nothing. If you can't plug in at home or work, the petrol is the more honest choice.

Up to 279 miles on the WLTP test, from a 58 kWh battery with 55 kWh usable. Expect less in cold weather or at sustained motorway speeds. Rapid charging peaks at 100 kW, which covers 20-80% in 30 minutes on the best version, and a 7.4 kW home charger does 20-80% in around 4.4 hours.

Braked towing goes up to 1,550 kg, but only on the best diesel versions. The petrol is rated at 1,150 kg braked and the plug-in hybrid at 750 kg. A detachable towbar is a factory option across the trims, so tell us before the order goes in - it can't be added to a factory build later.

Three years or 60,000 miles from Peugeot, whichever comes first. The battery in the electric version is covered separately for 8 years or 100,000 miles, guaranteeing 70% of its capacity. Servicing is due every 12 to 24 months or 16,000 to 20,000 miles depending on the version.

Often, yes - and the plug-in hybrid frequently sits below the diesel too on a like-for-like trim. A monthly rental reflects the gap between what the car costs and what it's forecast to be worth at the end of the term, plus interest, so a version holding its value better can cost less per month despite a higher list price. That can change whenever pricing is refreshed.

It depends entirely on what's available at the time, and it moves. Body style, powertrain and trim all shift the monthly figure, and the cheapest version this week isn't always the cheapest next month. The Allure is currently from £313.19 a month.

Specifications from Peugeot's UK data; equipment, boot space, range and towing limits vary by version, so check the individual deal before ordering.
