The Peugeot 308 is stepping into 2025 with a refreshed approach: a mild-hybrid powertrain, upgraded features, and a higher price tag.
While we’re bidding farewell to the wagon and GT Premium variants, the 308’s new single GT trim is here to show that less can mean more—especially when it’s backed by efficiency and style.
Pricing and What You Get
The 2025 Peugeot 308 GT Hybrid starts at $48,990 before on-road costs, a noticeable jump of $5000 compared to the outgoing GT.
However, this new price brings added features that make the increase worthwhile.
From a panoramic sunroof to a heated steering wheel and lane-centring assist, the 308 GT Hybrid is more equipped than ever.
For those looking to pre-order, you won’t have to wait long—deliveries are set to commence in early 2025.
Mild-Hybrid Powertrain: Efficiency Reimagined
The new turbocharged 1.2-litre three-cylinder engine now incorporates a mild-hybrid system, producing 100kW of power and 230Nm of torque.
While torque remains the same, the engine gets a slight bump of 4kW in power.
What’s truly impressive is the efficiency.
Peugeot claims a 20.7% improvement in fuel consumption, bringing it down to 4.2L/100km, and a 20.8% reduction in CO2 emissions, now at 95g/km.
The mild-hybrid system even supports limited electric-only driving, operating over 50% of the time in zero-emission mode.
Upgraded Features: GT Premium Perks Without the Price Tag
Peugeot has streamlined the lineup by incorporating premium features from the now-discontinued GT Premium.
This includes standout upgrades like:
- Matrix LED headlights for optimal nighttime visibility.
- A sleek panoramic sunroof for an open-air feel.
- Heated steering wheel for those colder mornings.
What’s Missing? Farewell to the Wagon
It’s a bittersweet goodbye to the 308 wagon, a longtime staple in Peugeot’s lineup.
With no wagons left in its current Australian offerings, the small car segment feels a little emptier.
However, buyers seeking space and versatility will find plenty to like in the 308 hatch’s modern design and smart interior layout.
Safety Features and Ratings
Peugeot takes safety seriously, equipping the 308 GT Hybrid with:
- Autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection.
- Adaptive cruise control with stop/go functionality.
- Blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert.
- Lane centring and driver attention monitoring.
It holds a four-star ANCAP safety rating (2022), with strong marks for child occupant protection (86%) and safety assist (82%).
Dimensions and Storage
Measuring 4365mm in length with a 2675mm wheelbase, the 308 offers ample room for passengers and cargo.
Inside, you’ll find 10-inch digital displays for both the instrument cluster and infotainment, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and luxurious Alcantara seats with green stitching.
Colours to Suit Your Style
The 308 GT comes standard in Obsession Blue metallic, with six additional colours available:
- Okenite White ($690)
- Artense Grey ($690)
- Sellenium Grey ($690)
- Nera Black ($690)
- Elixir Red ($1050)
Servicing and Warranty
Peugeot backs the 308 with a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty.
Service pricing has yet to be announced, but the company’s commitment to customer satisfaction ensures competitive rates.
Now What?
The 2025 Peugeot 308 GT Hybrid strikes a balance between eco-conscious engineering and luxury.
While it’s bittersweet to lose the wagon, the new 308 hatch proves Peugeot’s ability to innovate and refine.
Whether you’re drawn to its advanced hybrid system or its upscale features, the 2025 308 GT Hybrid is a small car with big ambitions.
