The market and customers

The new 308 SW is part of the C-segment estate, a market in which Peugeot has had a lot of success for many years. Although directly challenged by SUVs, this segment has remained constant since 2010, demand in Europe remains strong and sales forecasts are stable for the years to come.

The estate car customer base is both the youngest and most dynamic in the C segment and is very attached to the silhouette. Represented by active couples, with or without children, who use their vehicle intensively (they are the segment’s biggest drivers). They are very demanding and have many expectations, such as style, driving pleasure and technology, without compromising on volume and spaciousness.

It is in this context that the new 308 SW is able to meet all needs and all customer groups (70% professional and 30% private) and is ready to win over new customers. The new 308 SW is positioned at the top of the range with a concept based on these key themes: design, efficiency, technology and modularity.
