What reviewers say

Reviewers agree the 308 SW is stylish, with a comfortable ride and one of the nicest interiors in the class. Autocar found the mild hybrid a little strained when loaded; What Car? found rear space tighter than in a Skoda Octavia Estate, some tyre roar on the motorway and strong regenerative braking that makes it jerky in town.
