Who they are

A short write-up on each car, one paragraph apiece. We describe them on their own terms rather than picking a winner.

Profile · Plug-in Hybrid 195 e-DCS7 (P51, 2025+)

Peugeot 308

Plug-in hybrid (Plug-in Hybrid 195 e-DCS7) with around 85 km WLTP electric range from a 17.2 kWh battery (manufacturer figure, indicative). The WLTP figure of around 0.8 l/100km applies only with a full battery; drive it empty and you are effectively driving a petrol car carrying battery weight. The actual outcome depends on how often you charge (utility factor).

Profile · I (P54, 2022+, Hybrid 225 e-EAT8)

Peugeot 408

Crossover fastback on the EMP2 platform, technically related to the 308. The Hybrid 225 is a plug-in hybrid with a 12.4 kWh pack and about 64 km WLTP electric range (manufacturer figure, indicative). The WLTP consumption of around 1.2 l/100km applies only with a full battery; with an empty battery the 408 drives as a 1.6 turbo petrol carrying battery weight, closer to 6.4 l/100km. Indicative starting price, check the official configurator.
