Peugeot smashes the price of its new electric 308

If the E-308 is more consistently replaced, it always drags crippling defects than its nice boil is struggling to erase, especially in front of a Cupra Born VZ XL at € 46,500, a model 3 to 41,990 € or a megane -Tech from € 42,000.

Peugeot E-308: the manufacturer is the brace, but it does not leave

A long -awaited novelty of 2023, the small Peugeot sedan has turned into an electric version. But between the lack of ambition of its characteristics and its poorly placed price, it struggles to seduce. With more than € 4,000 reduction, the manufacturer readjusts its positioning.

Launched in April 2023 with an expensive First Edition at € 48,000, the lioness does not fail to mark its positioning “Generalist premium”, As Stellantis likes to describe it. Unfortunately, at this price, the E-308 is not eligible for the ecological bonus of € 5,000, pushing possible customers to fall back on the pavement billed over € 45,000.

An ambitious

With its sharp lines and a rise that has been paid for the 3008, Peugeot surely hoped to enjoy the same success for his E-308. Unfortunately, competition is tough among electric cars. Thus, with its modest 156 horsepower engine, its only 54 kWh battery and its WLTP autonomy barely exceeding 400 km, the E-308 is pale in the face of cheaper competition, carried in particular by the Tesla Model 3, the Cupra Born or the Renault Megane e-tech.

While all approach the 500 km of autonomy and have a battery of at least 60 kWh and a load of more than 130 kW, it is difficult to fall for the lioness, which will be in difficulty during motorway journeys.

Peugeot smashes the price of its new electric 308

Peugeot significantly lowers the prices of the electric 308. The promotional offer includes a € 1,420 discount accompanied by a premium of € 3,000 if you have a vehicle to take over. The compact remains eligible for the CO2 bonus of € 5,000.

You have to face the facts: faced with Chinese competition, the European automotive industry will have to keep an eye on the price of its electric cars. Peugeot reacts today by drawing a promotional offer on its E-308. The Lion brand grants a first discount of € 1,420 on E-308 E like, without special conditions. Then, if you have a car to take over, Peugeot adds € 3,000 to the value of your vehicle.

In this case, the net customer advantage therefore reaches € 4,420. Obviously, we must also add to that the CO2 bonus of € 5,000, which brings the final decline to € 9,420 on the cost of the vehicle catalog. All deductions made, an E-308 Allure thus costs € 36,300, or even € 34,300 for households whose reference tax income per share is less than or equal to € 14,089. But is it however interesting in the face of competition ? When we look at the cousin Citroën, the Sochalian defends herself pretty well.

A Peugeot at the cost of a Citroën

An Ë-C4 SHINE with similar equipment and with the same mechanical configuration appears at 45,100 €. If you choose a model in stock, the price drops immediately by € 3,900, without recovery condition. By removing the bonus of € 5,000, the final price is € 36,200. Suffice to say a price almost equivalent to an E-308 otherwise more technically successful. To find services comparable to the Mulhousienne, you have to turn to Renault where the megane e-tech in techno finish claims € 44,500 excluding bonuses and € 39,500 bonuses deduced. Facing the Peugeot, it can assert its higher autonomy (450 km vs 411 km) and its more efficient infotainment. But in the end, the tariff gap exceeds € 3,000. After this perspective, the Peugeot remains very competitive.

The MG4 always more attractive

Let’s finish with the discount champion: the MG4. A real breakage, the Chinese compact keeps extremely attractive prices, whatever the discounts granted to competitors. As proof, the Luxury version with a range of 435 km is exchanged against € 35,990 … excluding bonus. After application of the CO2 bonus, the MG4 arrives at a final price of € 30,990, styling at the post the 308 of almost € 6,000. That said, if we can compare the templates between these two compacts, the services have nothing to do, both on the presentation and driving. Make no mistake, because compared to its European competitors, the electric 308 is today a great deal, especially if you have a vehicle to take up hand.

Marketing and prices

After being announced in September 2022, the E-308 is now available for ordering in France, but only in its launching configuration, a limited series called “First Edition”.

The First Edition version presents unpublished 18 -inch rims, designed to improve aerodynamics. You can choose between three different colors: white orte, olivine green or gray selenium. Inside, the upholstery is specific and mixes Alcantara, fabric and PET for a unique result.
