Peugeot's hatch, sitting alongside VW Golf and Mazda3 in buyer consideration.
Last reviewed: 23 April 2026
The 308 is Peugeot's core hatch in New Zealand and the nameplate with the longest continuous NZ history in the current lineup. The parc mixes NZ-new 308 II (pre-2021) and current 308 III stock through Inchcape NZ with a smaller used-market trickle of earlier 308 I cars. The 1.2 PureTech turbo petrol dominates current stock, with older 1.6 HDi diesel on used examples and occasional GTi performance variants on the enthusiast market. The 308 is cross-shopped against the VW Golf, Mazda3, Hyundai i30, and sister-brand Citroen C4 by buyers wanting European hatch feel at mainstream pricing rather than stepping up to premium-German alternatives.

Who this suits
Who buys a Peugeot 308?
- Commuters doing 12,000 to 18,000 km a year who want European hatch feel without stepping up to a premium-German price bracket.
- Second-car households adding a 308 for city and school-run duty alongside a larger 3008 or 5008.
- Buyers cross-shopping the VW Golf or Mazda3 who value Peugeot's i-Cockpit interior layout and a typically lower sticker at matched spec.
- Enthusiast buyers targeting 308 GTi variants as a performance hatch with smaller loan sizes than an equivalent Golf GTI.
Financing notes
What financing a 308 usually looks like.
At $18,000 across a 5-year term at 8%, the weekly repayment sits at roughly $82 a week or $355 a month (indicative). 308 residuals sit slightly below the mainstream hatch average, so a 3 to 4 year term with a reasonable deposit is the cleaner structure than a 5 to 7 year stretch on a used 308 II. Current-generation 308 III handles 5 years more comfortably.
Model-specific questions
Peugeot 308 finance FAQ.
Is a used Peugeot 308 a safe financing choice in New Zealand?
Yes on NZ-new 308 II cars (2014 onwards) with complete Inchcape NZ service records, particularly 1.2 PureTech petrol variants which share mechanicals across the wider Stellantis small-to-mid range. On older 308 I and early 308 II 1.6 HDi diesel stock, a pre-purchase inspection focused on DPF and timing chain work is worth the modest cost before committing to a finance term longer than 3 years.
Does the Peugeot 308 hold its value like a VW Golf or Mazda3?
Not quite. 308 residuals sit slightly below the mainstream hatch average in NZ because European small-hatch demand has thinned against SUV growth and Peugeot volume is modest. Expect a 3-year-old 308 to retain around 44 to 54% of list price against 50 to 58% on a Golf or Mazda3. Keep the used-308 loan term at 3 to 4 years with a reasonable deposit to stay ahead of the curve.
