Launched over a decade ago, the 308 offers a surprising combination of safety, comfort, and technology, all at an affordable price, often below R$ 40 thousand. If you are looking for a complete car with excellent cost-benefit, it is worth considering the Peugeot 308. In this article, we explore whether this model is still a good choice in 2024 and what it has to offer in the used market.

The ‘cheap’ car from Peugeot was sold in the Brazilian automotive market by PSA in Brazil between 2012 and 2019, having been manufactured in Argentina. The model was sold in the Brazilian market with three engines, with the 1.6 16V of up to 122 horsepower offered in the cheaper versions, such as the Active, for example, always with a manual transmission.
