Should you choose the Peugeot 308 Electric?
A practical buyer-focused readWhy choose it
- 5-star safety rating for added reassurance

- 430 L trunk and five seats suit compact-family use
- Good value in its segment at around 32,000
Why skip it

- 180 km/h top speed won’t suit frequent high-speed travel
- Not aimed at premium-focused buyers
- Cargo-heavy users may outgrow the 430 L trunk
