Car Deal of the Day: Pick up a Peugeot 308 for less than a 208
The Peugeot 308 has style by the bucketload and is our Deal of the Day for 12 May
- Stylish design; plush-feeling interior
- GT spec is pick of the range
- Only £182.09 a month
The family-sized Peugeot 308 hatchback is currently cheaper to lease than its smaller Peugeot 208 sister through the Auto Express Buy A Car service.
Scouring our marketplace, we found VIPGateway is offering the Volkswagen Golf-sized 308 for a shockingly low £182.09 a month right now – over £6 a month cheaper than the dinkier 208 supermini, and £20 cheaper a month than its nearest similarly sized rival, the SEAT Leon.
This three-year deal requires a very modest £2,555.05 to be laid down as an initial payment. That's a 12-month up-front cost; you could save yourself over £400 by going for the nine-month initial payment, and even then the monthly price only rises to £195.48 – that's still comfortably cheaper than leasing deals on a SEAT Leon, Volkswagen Golf and Mazda 3.
Mileage is set at a default 5,000 miles a year, but you can bump this up to 6,000 for £6.44 extra a month or 8,000 for £14.68 extra.
The Peugeot 308 is one of the most stylish hatchbacks on sale, and the latest refresh has only added to its head-turning good looks.
This deal bags you the pick of the range, too – the GT. This trim gets matrix LED headlights, an illuminated badge on the grille, 18-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, a 10-inch touchscreen with connected navigation along with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus smart-looking leather-effect and cloth seats with 'Adamite' green stitching.
Power comes from one of Peugeot's 1.2-litre hybrid petrol engines. Even though it has just three cylinders, it’s punchy, packing 145bhp, allowing for a 0-62mph sprint time of just under nine seconds. Better still, Peugeot claims more than 62mpg on the combined cycle.
The 308 is an enjoyable car to drive – a feeling that is enhanced by the i-Cockpit set-up’s small steering wheel. The six-speed automatic gearbox is smooth, and the whole car is a plush and refined thing to travel around in.
