The Peugeot 308, a compact hatchback from the French brand, has historically been undervalued in the Brazilian automotive market, but it has recently gained prominence among used vehicles. 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.

The version of the Hatch from Peugeot that we will cover in this article is the Peugeot 308 Allure 2.0.

The same improvement was noted in response times, especially from 80 km/h to 120 km/h, where the time was reduced by 0.5 seconds.

What To Notice When Buying The Peugeot Hatch?

Despite presenting several advantages in the used automotive market, the ‘cheap’ car from Peugeot, like any vehicle, has experienced defects and chronic problems.

If you are interested in the THP version, the model faced problems with the timing chain kit, even having been replaced at very low mileage and within warranty coverage.

Other reports about the Peugeot hatch mention lack of power and high fuel consumption, with the causes of these two symptoms of poor performance linked to the temperature sensor. Therefore, it is important to be attentive to these details when buying your used vehicle.
