The presentation of new vehicles is always a highlight for the developers, as they can finally let the public participate in what they have worked out over months or years of work.
It is not surprising that the newly elected boss of Peugeot sees the new Kombi 308 SW as the perfect offer at the perfect time, Linda Jackson always says this, even before when she ran the sister brand Citroën.

So now Peugeot, and in the class dominated by the VW Golf, it depends on it twice, which is why the design team, who also draws courageously, points in particular to the design of the side window insert, which falls off faster than the roof and, with effects created by material variations, is extremely dynamic Silhouette generated.
Don't tell anyone that something like this might be of lesser priority, especially not in Germany, where the station wagon traditionally enjoys particular affection. The clientele encounters a model that has grown to 4.64 meters, but has been designed a little flatter, which, in conjunction with the rear windshield, creates brisk shapes and offers less surface to the wind. A wheelbase of 2.73 meters gives the passengers space for their knees, and mathematically up to 1634 liters fit in the trunk, which can be expanded in several ways. The fact that this is about the desire to shop is evident at first glance, the rear overhang extends 21 centimeters further than on the limousine.
Friends of the brand recognize the design of the interior, Peugeot focuses on independence, practicality and well-being. Forward movements can be initiated with gasoline engines, diesel units and two plug-in hybrids with 180 or 225 hp with a standard electric range of 60 kilometers. The prices are still open, there is still some time until the perfect moment. According to the planning, this is a few weeks after the start of the sedan in early 2022.
