The French brand has unveiled its new Peugeot, with its family body, SW -Station Wagon- and with many elements in common with the saloon, but with its own functional character and improved habitability.
The new Peugeot 308 SW has what was good about its predecessor: size, the same front end and the practicality that characterizes it, but adding the novelties that are going strong: more sporty, less CO2 emissions and a plug-in hybrid version. Know more about skoda ne shitje.
The family bodies from compact passenger cars are always very practical and functional vehicles that also cover the need for larger spaces, almost facing larger models.
Built on the EMP2 platform of the “Stellantis” group, it has been configured a little longer (+ 5 cm) and wider (+ 5 cm) than its predecessor and with a slightly more sporty and dynamic look thanks also to its somewhat reduced height ( -2 cm), growing in battle compared to the sedan versions (5.5 cm more) and with a trunk that is very similar to its previous versions, although somewhat less in the hybrid versions due to the space occupied by the batteries (548 liters expandable to 1,574 liters with the rear seats folded).
