Jego siódmą generację właśnie poddano liftingowi. Czy dziś, gdy inni producenci potrafią właściwie tyle samo, VW może spać spokojnie? Oto porównanie 10 samochodów samochodów kompaktowych jest dziś polem permanentnej walki, w której każdy z uczestników prowadzi własny wyścig zbrojeń. Ale w przeciwieństwie do np. politycznej i militarnej Zimnej Wojny tu tzw. szary człowiek tylko wygrywa. Bo „wyścig motoryzacyjnych zbrojeń” oznacza, że o klienta walczy się coraz wyższą jakością, coraz bardziej wyśrubowanym poziomem bezpieczeństwa, coraz lepszymi silnikami i własnościami zamierzchłą przeszłość odeszły czasy, gdy wystarczyło, że producent dodał ciekawy detal stylistyczny albo „kupił” sobie jakiegoś wyjątkowo popularnego celebrytę, by dane auto się dobrze rywali nowy silnik Golfa to zła wiadomość. Bo przecież wielu z nich jeszcze nie osiągnęło poziomu jego poprzednika, który ciągle znakomicie wywiązuje się ze swojej roli w innych markach koncernu VolkswagenaDoskonale widać to na przykładzie „klasy Golfa”, w której kiedyś wybór sprowadzał się do animozji niemiecko- francuskich. Towarzyszyły temu zażarte dyskusje fanów i wrogów produktów tych krajów, a samochody, które chciano sprzedawać, różniły się jak dzień i noc. Dziś w walce o motoryzacyjny rząd dusz najgorszy z oferowanych samochodów jest na poziomie niewyobrażalnie wysokim jeszcze dziesięć lat temu. A ci, którzy byli wtedy w absolutnej czołówce, dziś nie znają dnia ani godziny. W tej sytuacji pojawienie się najważniejszego rynkowo samochodu po operacji odświeżania i delikatnego odmłodzenia jest wielkim okazją, by spróbować dobrać mu się do skóry, co coraz lepiej wychodzi jego rywalom. Zobaczcie sami: oto zmodyfikowany Golf 7. generacji z zupełnie nowym silnikiem. Przeciwko niemu stanęło dziewięć kompaktowych hatchbacków z silnikami benzynowymi o mocach 130-165 Renault Megane TCe 130Dł./szer./wys. – 435,9/181,4/143,8 cm; bagażnik – 384 lRenault Megane TCe 130 Moc: 130 KM 0-100 km/h: 10,6 s Prędk. maks.: 198 km/h Cena: od 70 900 złAtrakcyjna cena i „ładna buzia” to tak naprawdę jedyne niepodważalne zalety „Meganki”. Tylko Mercedes daje mniej miejsca z tyłu i tylko niesławne eksperymenty tej marki z komplikowaniem menu systemów sterowania funkcjami auta są bardziej drażniące od tych, które wymyśliło Renault. Co gorsza, dość lekkie Megane okazuje się szokująco ociężałe podczas wszelkiego rodzaju prób dynamicznych. Jeszcze słabiutkie wyniki w slalomie czy na torze sprawnościowym da się wytłumaczyć nadwrażliwością ESP, ale już zdecydowanie odstające od reszty stawki (na minus) rezultaty prób hamowania trudno zaakceptować – od najlepszego w tej konkurencji Audi Renault zatrzymuje się o całą swoją długość dalej!W dodatku jego zdecydowanie słaby silnik cechuje się kulturą pracy zbliżoną do tej, jaka charakteryzuje 3-cylindrowe jednostki BMW i Peugeota – które na domiar złego są od niego o niebo żwawsze. No i gwóźdź do trumny – mimo najgorszych osiągów i fatalnej dynamiki, to Renault jest jednym z najbardziej paliwożernych aut w teście – życzy sobie o 1,5 l więcej niż silnik Volkswagena!9 Mazda 3 SKYACTIV-G 165Dł./szer./wys. – 447,0/179,5/146,5 cm; bagażnik – 364 lMazda 3 SKYACTIV-G 165 Moc: 165 KM 0-100 km/h: 8,2 s Prędk. maks.: 210 km/h Cena: od 79 400 złWbrew temu, do czego japońska marka nas przyzwyczaiła, ten model i ten wariant są atrakcyjne cenowo – również ze względu na wyposażenie. Auto oferuje wystarczającą ilość miejsca dla czterech przeciętnie zbudowanych pasażerów oraz mniejszy od przeciętnej dla klasy bagażnik. Za to miłośnicy nie tylko Mazdy z wielką radością słyszą o dużej mocy i konstrukcji jej silnika (wolnossący, wysokoobrotowy), co jest właściwie już dziś wyjątkowe – podobnie jak brak w ofercie automatycznej skrzyni wyjątkowe jest też zachowanie „trójki” na torze sprawnościowym. Tym razem bowiem na kołach miała poważnych rozmiarów Micheliny, a nie typowe fabryczne Toyo czy Bridgestony o minimalnych oporach toczenia i… I nie można tym razem zwalić na opony problemów z podsterownością (silną) czy mało imponującą wydajnością hamulców. Inna poważna wada to powolny i nieintuicyjny system multimedialny. Pochwały należą się za to za niski apetyt na Mercedes A 200 7G-DCTDł./szer./wys. – 438,4/178,0/145,5 cm; bagażnik – 341 lMercedes A 200 7G-DCT Moc: 156 KM 0-100 km/h: 7,8 s Prędk. maks.: 224 km/h Cena: od 116 837 złObecna generacja klasy A sprawiła, że Mercedes zyskał rzeszę młodych nabywców. Samochód ma dynamiczny design, potrafi się podobać także klientom podążającym za modą. I jest prawdziwym Mercedesem, bo na pewno nie każdego na niego sportowa forma oznacza drastyczne ograniczenie przestrzeni w kabinie i bagażniku. Z tyłu na kanapie podróżować mogą wygodnie tylko zdecydowanie niscy odpowiada dynamicznej stylistyce auta – 156-konny Mercedes z nowoczesną, 7-stopniową skrzynią automatyczną (opcja) jest bardzo szybki i zrywny, co niestety odbija się czkawką pod dystrybutorem: 7,6 l/100 km to mało zachęcający wynik, równie wysoki jak w Renault i Hyundaiu. Moc i dynamika mają się jednak nijak do możliwości na torze, gdzie opony, na jakich jeździła klasa A (model o maksymalnie ekologicznym nastawieniu), nie zapewniają przyczepności ani podczas hamowania, ani w łuku, ani na wyjściu z niego. A i tradycyjnie dla marki nadwrażliwy ESP nie ułatwia zadania. Za to jeżdżąc na adaptacyjnych amortyzatorach, klasa A pokazuje, co to znaczy mercedesowskie resorowanie: komfort jest bez BMW 118i Steptronic SDł./szer./wys. – 432,9/176,5/144,0 cm; bagażnik – 360 lBMW 118i Steptronic S Moc: 136 KM 0-100 km/h: 8,7 s Prędk. maks.: 210 km/h Cena: od 110 553 złTen tylnonapędowy samochód o wspaniałym balansie, doskonale zestrojonym układzie kierowniczym oraz znakomitych reakcjach na polecenia kierowcy „poległ” z powodu opon i wciąż nieopanowanego problemu z hamulcami. Czyli przypadłości, na którą cierpią dziś niektóre modele bawarskiej marki. Słaba skuteczność hamulców to co prawda przynajmniej w części „zasługa” absurdalnie nastawionych na minimalizację oporów toczenia opon, ale to po prostu wszystko razem wstyd, żeby BMW tak źle wypadało w konkurencjach dynamicznych.„Trójka” zbierała za to wysokie noty za komfort resorowania na opcjonalnych adaptacyjnych da się natomiast za bardzo pochwalić kabiny, szczególnie z tyłu, gdzie obudowany wał napędowy odbiera mnóstwo przestrzeni. Brakuje jej zarówno dla pasażerów, jak i bagaży. Ale i z przodu wrażenie „dopasowania do figury” jest polityka cenowa, podobna do tej w Audi i Mercedesie, nie przysparza nowych Peugeot 308 PureTechDł./szer./wys. – 425,3/180,4/145,7 cm; bagażnik – 420 lPeugeot 308 PureTech 130 Moc: 130 KM 0-100 km/h: 9,6 s Prędk. maks.: 207 km/h Cena: od 74 100 złFrancuzi nie próbowali szokować klientów formą karoserii, gdy w 2013 r. nowe „308” wjeżdżało na rynek – za to kokpit przejęty z „208” do dziś jest kontrowersyjny. Nawet nie w sensie designu, bo do minimalizmu łatwo się przyzwyczaić (choć przestronność kabiny sprawia, że ten minimalizm staje się jeszcze wyraźniejszy). Niektórym trudno pogodzić się z logiką obsługi, która wymaga przyzwyczajenia i nauki. Sportowy charakter wraz z obecnymi w testowym aucie 18-calowymi kołami redukują komfort jazdy. Za to dzięki sportowemu ogumieniu „308” mimo silnego wspomagania dawało bardzo dobry feedback na kierownicy, pozwalając Peugeotowi na walkę o najlepsze czasy okrążenia zaraz za Focusem, Golfem, Astrą oraz i30, a więc całkiem niedaleko czołówki. Szkoda, że auto nie hamuje i nie resoruje równie dobrze, jak się prowadzi. Ale i tu nie można oka na wyposażenie z zakresu bezpieczeństwa pokazuje, że zmiany w „308” są już naprawdę konieczne – postęp w klasie w tej dziedzinie jest piorunująco szybki, a w Peugeocie nie ma np. mowy o rozpoznawaniu znaków drogowych czy choćby automatycznym przełączaniu Ford Focus EcoBoostDł./szer./wys. – 435,8/182,3/148,4 cm; bagażnik – 363 lFord Focus EcoBoost Moc: 150 KM 0-100 km/h: 8,9 s Prędk. maks.: 210 km/h Cena: od 76 540 złLekko już podstarzały model Forda (na rynku od 7 lat) ma mnóstwo braków w porównaniu z rywalami, ale wciąż oferuje także wiele zalet – wśród nich najlepsze własności dynamiczne przy nienagannym komforcie resorowania. Znakomity feedback na kierownicy, wspaniale spontaniczne reakcje na polecenia prowadzącego, wyśmienite trzymanie się drogi i obojętność wobec niedoskonałości nawierzchni – to po prostu nie da się zapomnieć o kokpicie, który nadmiernie ogranicza ruchy kierowcy i którego funkcjonalność momentami aż drażni, o relatywnie ciasnym – jak na te rozmiary auta – wnętrzu czy niespecjalnie imponujących osiągach silnika, który w dodatku zużywa najwięcej, w porównaniu z resztą rywali, paliwa. Ponadto widoczność w tył jest zła, a za czujniki parkowania trzeba płacić. Co oczywiście byłoby jeszcze mocniejszym zarzutem, gdyby nie ogólnie atrakcyjna cena tego samochodu. Niestety, dobrą ofertę osiągnięto przez drastyczne cięcie kosztów – mnóstwo innych elementów wyposażenia też wymaga Opel Astra Turbo 150Dł./szer./wys. – 437,0/180,9/148,4 cm; bagażnik – 370 lOpel Astra Turbo 150 Moc: 150 KM 0-100 km/h: 8,3 s Prędk. maks.: 215 km/h Cena: od 72 800 złBardzo duży i bardzo przestronny samochód, którego rzeczywistą wielkość zręcznie maskuje świetna stylistycznie karoseria. Okazał się też jednym z najlżejszych pojazdów w teście. I z przodu, i z tyłu miejsca jest bardzo dużo – na głowy, nogi i ramiona, choć z tyłu z tym na głowy bywa różnie, bo dach jest stromy i ma spadziste boki, które potrafią się dać we znaki wyższym pasażerom. W testowym aucie z przodu królowały znakomite siedzenia AGR, ale wystarczą już dużo tańsze tzw. fotele ergonomiczne, by podróżować tu po nie da się ukryć, że siedzenia muszą czasem wziąć na siebie wiele, ponieważ nawet na wydawałoby się gładkiej nawierzchni usportowiony układ jezdny Astry potrafi wykryć poważne niedoskonałości i dość bezpośrednio przenieść je na fotele. W zamian dostajemy jednak samochód o świetnych własnościach trakcyjnych i znakomitych reakcjach na ruchy że całkiem skuteczne hamulce mają kłopot z przekazywaniem informacji zwrotnych i trudno je momentami praktycznie samych pochwał jest za to dynamiczny, elastyczny i oszczędny silnik Audi A3 TFSI S tronicDł./szer./wys. – 431,3/178,5/142,6 cm; bagażnik – 380 lAudi A3 TFSI S tronicAudi A3 TFSI S tronic Moc: 150 KM 0-100 km/h: 8,2 s Prędk. maks.: 220 km/h Cena: od 114 500 złKosztuje mnóstwo pieniędzy, a dostajemy za to tylko przeciętnie wyposażony samochód kompaktowy – i długą listę słono płatnych opcji. Wystarczy ulec kilku zachciankom, by wybrane A3 okazało się o połowę droższe (albo i więcej).Na szczęście to też bardzo porządnie zaprojektowany i znakomicie wykonany samochód o obszernym wnętrzu, bardzo solidny, przemyślany. Co prawda z tyłu jest tu znacząco ciaśniej niż u technicznego „brata”, Golfa, ale wciąż mówimy o aucie dającym dobre warunki do podróżowania czwórce rosłych osób. Te z przodu mogą się dodatkowo cieszyć z kontaktu z wysmakowanym kokpitem, którego funkcjonalność, szczególnie na tle minimalizmu jego konstrukcji, okazuje się wyjątkowo wysoka. Bardzo dobre noty trzeba też wystawić zestrojeniu układu jezdnego, a już na najwyższe pochwały zasługują hamulce. W połączeniu z bardzo dobrym układem kierowniczym powinniśmy otrzymać wzorcowy niestety, opony nie dają wystarczającej przyczepności w skręcie, a zaprogramowana skłonność do maksymalizacji ekonomii jazdy odbiera napędowi „pazur”.2 Hyundai i30 T-GDIDł./szer./wys. – 434,0/179,5/145,5 cm; bagażnik – 395 lHyundai i30 T-GDI Moc: 140 KM 0-100 km/h: 8,9 s Prędk. maks.: 210 km/h Cena: od 81 200 złZacznijmy od tego, dlaczego fantastyczne i30 nie wygrało tego testu. Otóż jego nowy silnik turbo o mocy 140 KM nie tylko pracuje z niższą kulturą pracy niż nawet starszy z silników Grupy VW, ten w A3 – o nowym w Golfie nie wspominając. Ma on też dziwną przypadłość, która jest właściwie wyłącznie niedopatrzeniem programistów strojących jego sterownik: na 1. i 2. biegu po puszczeniu sprzęgła, nawet przy wyższych obrotach, nagle spada moc. To szczególnie drażni podczas jazdy w ruchu miejskim. No i zdecydowanie za wysokie okazuje się zużycie to już koniec zastrzeżeń. Bo poza tym auto jest bardzo przestronne, wysokiej jakości, szczególnie pod względem materiałów i ich spasowania, ma świetny, logiczny system obsługi, bardzo dobrą ergonomię, niezwykle udany układ jezdny, niebojący się ani złej nawierzchni, ani ostrej jazdy po torze wyścigowym. Do tego daje mnóstwo schowków i kieszeni, wygodną kanapę, duży bagażnik i objęte jest fenomenalną gwarancją. Po prostu znakomity samochód warty swojej ceny!1 Volkswagen Golf TSIDł./szer./wys. – 425,8/179,0/149,2 cm; bagażnik – 380 lVW Golf TSI Moc: 150 KM 0-100 km/h: 8,3 s Prędk. maks.: 216 km/h Cena: od 92 430 złAle król może być tylko jeden – i zostaje nim ponownie Golf. Po mało widocznym liftingu, który wniósł raczej zmiany wyposażeniowe niż optyczne, można tu mieć adaptacyjne lampy LED, asystenta jazdy w korku, wirtualny kokpit i system multimedialny w formie wielkiej szklanej tafli, bez fizycznych przycisków. Mało? No cóż, do oferty wszedł także zupełnie nowy silnik benzynowy, TSI o mocy 150 KM. Docelowo zastąpi on w ofercie znakomitą jednostkę TSI, która będzie wciąż pracować pod maskami pozostałych marek w Grupie Volkswagena – w tym w takich autach, jak nasze testowe Audi A3. Tu jednak występuje wyłącznie w wariancie COD, czyli z odłączanymi przy niepełnym obciążeniu dwoma silnik zachwyca niezwykle wysoką kulturą pracy oraz dobrymi osiągami – tylko wyposażone w szybkie, dwusprzęgłowe skrzynie automatyczne Audi i Mercedes potrafiły uzyskać lepsze wyniki w testach przyspieszeń od 0 do 100 km/h. Ale to nie koniec zalet tego napędu: nowa jednostka w Golfie zadowalała się w teście sensacyjnie niskimi dawkami benzyny: średnio 6,1 l/100 km!Mimo zdecydowanie kompaktowych (na tle coraz większej liczby rywali) rozmiarów Golf pozostaje jednym z najprzestronniejszych aut tej klasy, a i pod względem pojemności bagażnika nie odstaje od czołówki. Wyśmienicie wykończony kokpit jest pod wieloma względami lepszy niż to, co oferują BMW i Mercedes (tak już było przed liftingiem), a nowy zestaw multimedialny zachwyca czułością na dotyk, wyrazistością obrazu i – tradycyjnie – łatwością obsługi. Co istotne, można tu sterować niektórymi funkcjami za pomocą gestów, które kierowca wykonuje na wysokości konsoli centralnej. Niemniej będziemy się upierać, że fizycznych pokręteł do regulacji głośności czy do „chodzenia” po menu trochę tu brakuje. Nie jesteśmy jednak w stanie wymyślić żadnego innego zarzutu. No, może żeby hamulce były jeszcze lepsze, dorównując Audi A3? Za to komfort resorowania jest rewelacyjny. Tu wspierały go opcjonalne adaptacyjne amortyzatory DCC, ale i w trybie Normal (czyli jak bez DCC) komfort, jak i własności jezdne Golfa są następnej stronie zamieściliśmy podsumowanie porównania i szczegółowe wyniki, a także dane techniczne opisywanych aut. Volkswagen Golf GTI. El Peugeot 308 GTI es la versión más deportiva del 308. La combinación de motor, caja de cambios y un peso total muy bajo le confieren un comportamiento muy divertido en carretera, mientras que su carrocería de 5 puertas nos permite un uso cotidiano sin el más mínimo problema. Un deportivo muy recomendable. Skip to ContentSkip to FooterPeugeot’s new turbocharged 308 has upmarket aspirations. but can it match the premium class quality of the Volkswagen golf? We find out...6 Feb 2008A DECADE doesn’t sound like much in the life of the planet. In the automotive world, though, it’s virtually a lifetime. For instance, compare a decent modern hatchback to one from 10 years ago, and the differences in cabin space, quality and refinement are continual improvements are great news for buyers because even volume manufacturers are now producing classier models. But the question is: how good are they?In Issue 994, we looked at how affordable premium marques can be. Now, we flip the coin and find out whether mainstream brands can build a genuinely luxurious hatch. Each time a car is launched, the adverts tell us how it sets new benchmarks in quality – and Peugeot’s 308 is the latest to do this. It’s based on the 307, but bosses claim it’s revamped inside and out, resulting in higher standards and more desirability than that mean it can rise above the rest of the class? That’s what we aim to discover as we put it head-to-head with its toughest rival – Volkswagen’s Golf. The German car has an enviable reputation for quality and, thanks to its new TSI engine, it promises strong performance and economy. Not to be outdone, the 308 features Peugeot’s latest THP engine technology. So which can truly claim to be a luxury hatch?VerdictSO can a mainstream marque build a genuinely luxurious hatchback? If that’s what you’re after, the Golf is the car for soon as you get behind the wheel it’s instantly apparent that Volkswagen’s reputation for quality is well deserved. The materials and fabrics used in the cabin are top-class and all the switches and controls are robust and pleasingly smooth ride and handling add to that feel, and dynamically, the Golf is one of the best family hatchbacks around. You only have to look at its excellent residual values for the VW easily holds off the challenge of the 308 here. Sadly, Peugeot’s attempts to move the hatch upmarket aren’t successful. There are too many compromises, and the brand has a long way to go in order to build the reputation for reliability that Volkswagen enjoys. This car is a little too much like its a capable performer, and the THP engine is punchy and enjoyable to use.

Skip to ContentSkip to FooterWith plenty of tech and performance, there’s a lot to love about the VW Golf GTI and Peugeot 308 GTi - but which is better?17 Jun 2017The performance hatch sector has evolved to the point where family cars are now putting nearly 400bhp to the road through clever and complex four-wheel-drive systems. However, this continuous progress means cars such as the new Volkswagen Golf GTI are more relevant than ever. This GTI still offers plenty of performance, but in a usable and more affordable package compared with fire-breathing models such as the Mercedes-AMG A 45.• Best hot hatches on saleThe latest incarnation is a mild facelift rather than a radical rethink of the recipe, but it faces a serious challenge from the Peugeot 308 GTi. In such a tight and competitive sector, this will be a tough test for the Golf GTI 5dr DSGPeugeot 308 GTi 270 by Peugeot SportPrice: £29,990£29,405Engine: 4cyl turbo 4cyl turbo petrolPower/torque: 227bhp/350Nm268bhp/330NmTransmission:Six-speed dual-clutch automatic, front-wheel drive Six-speed manual, front-wheel drive 0-60mph: secondsTop speed:154mph155mphTest economy: 148g/km/£140139g/km/£140Options: Discover Navigation Pro (£1,325), lane assist plus (£1,225), rear-view camera (£265), 19-inch ‘Santiago’ alloy wheels (£990)Pearlescent paint (£675), panoramic roof (£500), Peugeot Connect SOS and Assistance (£240)Volkswagen Golf GTI• For: Discreet body styling, usability, performance, typical VW quality.• Against: Not as powerful as rivals, gimmicky optional infotainment set-up, DSG box pricier and not as involving as history of high-performance family cars stretches back decades, and the revised GTI is the brand’s most accomplished model so far to bear the iconic boot badge. It sits above the standard TSI and TDI hatches, and beneath the range-topping Golf R. That car is four-wheel drive only, so the front-wheel-drive GTI represents an appealing middle ground for those looking for affordable pace and reviews Based on the Golf hatch, the GTI is available with three or five doors, but no estate is offered. Following a mid-life facelift earlier this year, the familiar petrol turbo now comes with 227bhp as standard. A GTI Performance model is also available, pushing power to test car was fitted with VW’s DSG dual-clutch automatic gearbox – a six-speed unit here, but a seven-speeder on the GTI Performance. While the Peugeot is manual only, offering a good level of engagement, the Golf’s twin-clutch box features launch control for lightning-fast starts and crisp shifts. A sweet six-speed manual is also available, saving £1,415 and matching the involvement offered by the Golf’s throttle response is excellent, with little turbo lag and plenty of torque in the mid-range. In fact, 350Nm is available from as low as 1,500rpm, so the VW was strong in our in-gear the Peugeot’s superior power meant it was quicker both off the line and through the gears. The Golf sprinted from 0-60mph in seconds, and completed its fourth-gear 30-50mph dash in seconds, compared with and seconds respectively for the 308 GTi. The VW covered the 30-50mph sprint in third in seconds, which was identical to the figure we recorded in the Golf’s optional 19-inch alloys kick up quite a bit of tyre roar, and previous experience on the standard 18-inch wheels suggest they’d be much quieter over broken British roads. They offer a more comfortable ride as well, and while the VW is still more composed than the Peugeot, we’d opt for the smaller rims to get the more composed smaller wheels require little sacrifice when it comes to handling, too. The Golf’s precise steering is nicely geared and weighted, while the MQB platform helps here, serving up plenty of grip in corners while offering great even more versatility? The £830 adaptive dampers sharpen up the chassis in Sport, cutting roll and improving response on turn-in. Meanwhile, in Comfort the GTI offers a relatively relaxing ride given its ability on a twisting back notes:• Infotainment: Hi-tech digital display complements cabin’s good build quality and soft-touch materials.• Wheel: GTI’s smart flat-bottomed steering wheel boasts leather trim with sporty red stitching.• Transmission: Our test car had six-speed DSG dual-clutch auto; this features seven speeds on the GTI Performance. A sweet six-speed manual is available for less money. Peugeot 308 GTi• For: Strong engine, impressive traction, agility to match that of the Golf GTI.• Against: Frustratingly slow infotainment system, compromised driving position, pronounced road noise. The 308 is based on Peugeot’s EMP2 scalable platform. This is the answer to Volkswagen’s MQB architecture that underpins the Golf GTI, and it’s a decent base from which to develop a hot hatch. MacPherson struts at the front match the Golf’s, but the torsion beam rear axle isn’t as sophisticated as the VW’s multi-link set-up. However, additional tweaks from Peugeot Sport help ensure this GTi 270 is a proper rival to the fact, it offers more power than even the GTI Performance, with Peugeot Sport’s engineers extracting 268bhp from the 308 GTi’s smaller four-cylinder turbo. The unit is slightly down on torque, though, with only 330Nm to play with, delivered higher up, at 1,900rpm. This reflects the engine’s peakier character. The smaller capacity means the motor has to be revved harder to extract the performance, but it’s an eager engine that hurls the Peugeot along when the turbo is spinning. This was reflected in the 308 GTi’s quicker 0-60mph time of seconds, even though it uses a six-speed manual rather than the faster DSG in the in the Golf there’s no dual-clutch auto option, so you’ll have to make do with the manual. Despite a slightly long throw, the gearbox offers more engagement than the VW’s admittedly quick DSG. However, it’s not quite as effective in raw performance terms, and neither is it as sweet as the Golf’s standard-fit six-speed 308’s slightly lower torque output doesn’t seem to have a detrimental effect on in-gear performance; the 159kg lighter kerbweight gives the car an advantage. For us, it pulled strongly even in fifth gear, completing the 50-70mph dash in seconds. The Golf took more than a second longer, completing the same test in part of the Peugeot Sport tweaks, the 308 GTi also gets big Alcon brakes. These offer good feel, even if they give no more stopping power than the VW’s set-up. Where the 308 loses out to the Golf is in ride and handling. The Peugeot’s dampers are fairly firm, so body control is good in quick corners, but the car doesn’t have the same split-personality feel as the Golf, and it’s not as compliant during normal driving or on long journeys. It’s not uncomfortable, but doesn’t offer the finesse of the VW’s damping driving position isn’t as natural, either. Peugeot’s i-Cockpit layout features a narrow-diameter steering wheel, which means the 308 turns in quickly. There’s plenty of grip on offer to match the speed of the steering, but this gives a more frenetic feel more of the notes:• Infotainment: 308’s touchscreen is less intuitive and functional than Golf’s, and there’s no Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.• Transmission: Manual is only option, unlike with Golf’s dual-clutch auto. It offers more engagement.• Wheel: i-Cockpit’s narrow-diameter steering wheel results in a quick turn-in for the GTiVerdictFirst place: Volkswagen Golf GTIThe Golf GTI is a brilliant hot hatch. Rivals might offer more power, but the VW is still fast enough and simply brilliant to drive. Its combination of quality, usability, practicality and economy makes it one of the finest all-rounders on sale today. We’d spend the extra for the GTI Performance, too. Second place: Peugeot 308 GTiThe 308 GTi puts up a good fight thanks to its impressive performance, yet the VW’s superior handling, better tech and top-notch build quality give it the edge here. The Peugeot might be faster, but it isn’t as fun or as sharp to drive.

Tvary nového kompaktního Peugeotu bývají dávány do souvislostí s osvědčeným zevnějškem Volkswagenu Golf. Jsou tyto poznatky reakcí na skutečnou podobnost? Pokud ano, co mají oba modely společného a čím se naopak odlišují? Nová generace modelu 308 rozvíjí design, s nímž jako první přišel o třídu menší hatchback 208 – opouští mohutnou masku, která je rozměrově redukována a posunuta do tradiční polohy mezi světlomety, a důkladně modernizuje světelnou optiku. Vozidlo se z hlediska stylu vrací ke sportovně-elegantním tvarům, jež doplňuje moderními prvky, které si vypůjčilo od nejnovějších konceptů. Zároveň ale bývá podezíráno z inspirace u Volkswagenu Golf. Jak dalece jsou tyto námitky oprávněné? Pokusme se oba modely porovnat a přiblížit si jejich design v důležitých souvislostech. Peugeot 308 – Návrat ke sportovní eleganci Na první pohled by se mohlo zdát, že je Peugeot 308 opticky klidnější a méně výrazný, než jeho předchůdce. Ve skutečnosti je však nový hatchback vizuálně energičtější a rafinovanější – zároveň nám svými tvary sděluje, že abychom jeho estetickému projevu lépe porozuměli, musíme jej vnímat v kontextu průběžného vývoje designu automobilky. Model 308 pracuje s rysy několika nových konceptů značky. Atraktivní provedení spodní linky předních světlometů, jež se vyznačuje trojitým zalomením, plně odpovídá aktuálnímu trendu firmy, do jehož rámce patří experimentování s tvarem reflektorů – s obdobným počínáním jsme se setkali již u studie HR1 (2010), v radikálnější podobě pak u kreace 15. The GTE’s powertrain is unchanged, meaning you get a 1.4-litre turbo petrol engine mated to an electric motor and a combined system output of 201bhp. There are various modes to allow you to
PEUGOET 308 SW Avant garde cabin design Generous boot space Punchy powertrain VOLKSWAGEN GOLF VARIANT Technologically advanced cabin Pliant and comfortable ride Smooth powertrain The Peugeot 308 SW is more affordable and a little more spacious but the Volkswagen Golf Variant's technologically-advanced cabin and better ride is hard to ignore. Stationwagons, or estates, whichever you prefer terming them, haven't had much success on our shores. Despite being the go-to family vehicle for Europeans for decades, us Asians have always had an aversion to them, due to their resemblance to should we really let our outdated superstitions get in the way of practicality? We think not, especially when the latest crop of wagons available are more stylish than their hatchback siblings. The updated Golf Variant returns to find itself amongst strong competition in the form of the Peugeot 308 SW Two of our favourites so far remain the Volkswagen Golf Variant, which has recently been refreshed, and its stylish French rival, the Peugeot 308 SW. So if you're a forward-thinker who's looking for a good-looking European people carrier, the question, then, is - which of these two should you get? First impressionsIf you're someone who likes going against the norm (you must be, since you're considering a wagon) and standing out from the crowd, you might prefer the 308 SW for several of which is the way its cabin has been styled, which is entirely unconventional compared to the Golf Variant's teutonic approach. In the 308, the instrument cluster sits atop the dash, instead of in it, which is cool even if it does take some getting used to. The Golf Variant offers a more technologically advanced and user-friendly experience There's also a much cleaner design inside the 308 SW, which does away with most of the conventional buttons on the centre console. That form, however, has a slight functional disadvantage as conducting simple actions like adjusting the air-conditioning the other hand, the Golf Variant's sharper, albeilt smaller-sized Discover Pro infotainment has a more intuitive interface. Coupled with its high-resolution, digital Active Info Display cluster, it offers a more technologically advanced experience, even if its overall cabin design isn't as avant garde. The 308 SW's 660-litre boot offers 55 litres of cargo space more than the Golf Variant's At $129,900 (as of 15 November 2018), the extra $20,901 for the Golf Variant also gets you more cubbyholes, an electrically adjusted driver's seat, paddle shifters and rear air-conditioning. Both cars are equipped with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto while both cars do offer enough space for a family of five, the 308's larger size and longer wheelbase do mean there is a tad more rom for those riding at the back. It also has a larger 660-litre boot with the rear seats up, outsizing the Golf's 605 litres. Still, unless you're a fairly large person, which most of us Asians aren't, there is enough room in the Golf to feel comfortable on long drives. Speaking of drives…It comes as quite a surprise that the Golf Variant, as the car with one more cylinder and a larger engine, has a lower power output. Its turbocharged four-banger churns 123bhp and 200Nm of torque while the 308 SW's boost three-cylinder makes 129bhp and 230Nm of torque. The 308 SW may have a smaller capacity engine and one less cylinder but it has a higher output of 129bhp and 230Nm of torque Thankfully, with an extra gear and closer gear ratios to help with acceleration and top speed, the Golf Variant is quicker in a straight line to 100km/h, taking seconds. The 308 SW trails behind slightly, with a century sprint timing of terms of ride quality, the Golf Variant is slightly plusher and more settled over bumps and ruts. But if you prefer a car that offers quicker direction changes and a meatier steering, the 308 SW feels like the sportier one to have. The Golf Variant's extra seventh gear helps with straight-line performance, resulting in a century sprint that's faster than the more powerful Peugeot Sounds like a tie, then?The 308 SW is the more emotional purchase, with its design and the way it drives. Yet, it also offers a little more room all around with a lower $108,999 (as of 15 November 2018) price tag and a cheaper annual road tax of $508 versus the Golf Variant's $ always, the Golf Variant has a lot to lose going up against a competitor as strong as this Peugeot. And this time, the 308 SW is seemingly the one that offers more bang for buck. Whether its the more avant garde 308 or the more tech-savvy Golf Variant you prefer, they prove wagons deserve more attention But if you are a sucker for digitally-advanced cabins, better ride quality, lighter-footed performance and that aggressive R-Line kit, you'll have to be prepared to pay the premium for the Golf way, these two prove that before you jump on a deal for a sport utility vehicle, you should first give wagons a second look.

Skip to ContentSkip to FooterDon’t want a diesel family hatch? We test the top petrol choices as Peugeot’s revised 308 battles the VW Golf and Honda Civic31 Jan 2018As diesel continues to be demonised, there’s a growing trend of buyers making the switch to petrol power. From superminis to SUVs, efficient, downsized turbo petrol engines are putting forward a case for themselves, but the evergreen family hatchback is one of the sectors where they make most is one of the most competitive areas of the new car market, and as a result the models available are constantly getting better – as proven by the trio of great cars we’re testing here.• Best hatchbacks on saleThe latest Peugeot 308 is the newest of the three, and while its recent facelift was only mild, the French hatch continues to offer a top mix of space, comfort and equipment. Then there’s the Volkswagen Golf. It was updated last year with some new tech and a subtle revised look, just like the Peugeot, but here we’re testing the latest 128bhp petrol version for the first time. It goes up against the proven PureTech three-cylinder petrol 308, but it also faces competition from Honda in the form of its Civic, which has a unit that matches the other cars for you don’t want to buy a diesel due to fears about taxation in the future, these are three compelling choices. But which one comes out on top? Peugeot 308Model:Peugeot 308 PureTech 130 GT LinePrice: £22,390Engine: 3cyl petrol, 129bhp 0-60mph: secondsTest economy: CO2: 120g/km Annual road tax: £140The Peugeot 308 has been around since 2014, but a facelift in 2017 brought it back up to date with revised infotainment and some subtle exterior changes. Here we’re testing the 129bhp petrol model in GT Line trim, which costs from £22, reviews All three of our contenders here have just under 130bhp on tap, but the 129bhp Peugeot is the most powerful choice, by just 1bhp, and has the most torque at 230Nm; the Civic and the Golf both serve up helped the 308 to sprint from 0-60mph at the test track in seconds, which was a tenth faster than the Golf and six tenths up on the Civic. This advantage is also partly down to a low kerbweight of just 1,089kg, compared with the Golf’s 1,280kg and the Civic’s 1, it wasn’t the best performer going up through the gears: the 308 took seconds to cover 30-70mph, slightly slower than the Honda’s seconds and the Golf’s seconds. It also matched the heavier Honda from 30-50mph in fourth and 50-70mph in fifth: both cars took seconds and seconds respectively, while the Golf completed those tests in seconds and if the French model’s six-speed box isn’t the nicest to use, it’s no chore to drop down a gear and accelerate with the 308’s three-cylinder unit. It’s definitely the most engaging engine of the three in this test as it feels more responsive and revvier, while also serving up good mid-range 308’s low kerbweight helps its handling. Its quick steering and that small wheel contribute towards a relatively nimble feel, but there’s not much feedback with the Peugeot and the chassis isn’t as grippy as the Honda’ closer to the Golf’s more neutral feel, but ultimately the 308 ends up in between the more comfortable Golf and sportier Civic. The difference really is minimal, though, and all three models are comfy enough, but can still satisfy keen notes: “Despite infotainment system updates, Peugeot hasn’t fixed one of the unit’s major flaws: the laggy screen that controls the heating and ventilation, which isn’t separate to the rest of the set-up.” Volkswagen Golf Model:Volkswagen Golf TSI EVO 130 SE Nav 5drPrice: £22,255Engine: 4cyl petrol, 128bhp 0-60mph: secondsTest economy: CO2: 113g/kmAnnual road tax: £140The Volkswagen Golf was the second most registered car in Britain in 2017, and it’s easy to see why: the evergreen hatchback is as spacious, comfortable and good to drive as ever. Last year’s facelift added this new engine, updated infotainment and more safety features. Here we’re testing the TSI EVO 130 model in SE Navigation spec, which costs from £22, minor changes to the Golf’s appearance are mirrored in the way it drives, because the VW is comfortable and refined, but also great from behind the TSI engine is a brilliant addition to the range; it’s very quiet, smooth and put in a good showing in our performance tests. It was the fastest car of the three from 30-70mph through the gears, taking seconds to the Honda’s seconds and the 308’s seconds. That’s helped by the sweet six-speed manual’s shift action, whereas you have to be more methodical with the box in the so, the Golf did fall behind the 308 and Civic from 50-70mph in fifth gear, taking seconds, while its rivals both completed the test in seconds. In the real world there’s very little to separate them, however, and all feel punchy don’t need to work the engine too hard to make progress, because maximum torque of 200Nm arrives at just 1,400rpm; much lower than in either competitor. That means the car picks up pace easily without having to shift down, and it also helps keep things quiet inside; it’s one of the TSI’s best aspects, and the Golf is quieter than both rivals as a direct and well weighted steering means the Volkswagen responds well on turn-in, plus there’s plenty of grip and good body control. It’s not quite as engaging to drive quickly as the Honda, but there’s not much in it. The real strength of the Golf is the way it blends that ability with refinement and comfort; it rides more smoothly than the 308 in particular, absorbing bumps in the road surface notes: “The Golf’s TSI engine is the only four-cylinder unit here. It features clever tech that can deactivate two cylinders to help boost efficiency, shown by its low claimed CO2 emissions.” Honda Civic Model:Honda Civic VTEC Turbo EXPrice: £23,615Engine: 3cyl petrol, 127bhp 0-60mph: secondsTest economy: CO2: 117g/kmAnnual road tax: £140The 10th-generation Honda Civic impressed in 2017 thanks to its engaging handling and spacious interior. The sporty Type R version is our favourite hot hatch, and its DNA filters down into this standard model. Here we’re testing the version in EX trim, which starts from £23,615 (although our pictures show an SR model).Honda has followed the industry trend of downsizing its engines for the latest Civic, so this one is powered by a petrol motor with a turbocharger to improve power and torque lower down in the rev range. It’s punchy from 2,250rpm, where the maximum torque is delivered from, and feels able to keep up with its larger-capacity rivals on the road, although it did trail them in some of our performance was half a second slower from 0-60mph than the Golf, with a time of seconds. However, the Honda was only a tenth behind the VW in the 30-70mph sprint and two tenths faster than the 308, helped by that lovely, accurate close figures show that there’s not too much difference in terms of performance between our three rivals, but the Honda does have the advantage here for keen drivers because it’s the most fun low driving position is comfortable and feels sporty, while the steering is well weighted and fast in its response, offering the best feel. There’s lots of grip on offer and the clever torque vectoring technology helps the car hold its line through corners. It’s well controlled in terms of body roll thanks to the dampers’ sportier setting, and the Honda is more agile than either rival in this test as a comfort mode it’s refined and smooth, with a relatively compliant ride, although our noise tests showed the Civic was a little louder at 70mph than its rivals. The turbo sits at higher revs at that speed, which contributes to that extra it’s a willing engine and is more characterful than the Golf’s four-cylinder unit, but not as fun as the in the 308. The manual gearshift is fantastic, and has a precise action that’s better than in almost any other hatchback on sale. Testers’ notes: “The Honda has the smallest fuel tank of the three cars here, at 46 litres. That means you’ll actually end up filling it up more often than the 308, despite its better economy figure.” Verdict First place: Volkswagen GolfIt’s a very close result between these three family hatchbacks, but the Golf is so good in so many areas that it will make the most sense for more people. It’s comfortable, refined, good to drive, well equipped and great value, and the latest infotainment system is one of the best on the market at any price. The Golf manages all that while still being practical enough for most owners. Second place: Honda CivicThe latest Civic isn’t as well rounded as the Golf, while its infotainment system is a real letdown, but it’s more practical and fun to drive than the VW. It finishes ahead of the 308 thanks to lower running costs and engaging handling, while its performance is strong enough to match the 308. Although it’s not as polished as the VW, it’s still refined and comfortable. Third place: Peugeot 308The 308 is practical and stylish, but not as accomplished as the Golf, so it loses out here. It’s not as good to drive as the Civic, and although the list price is competitive, Peugeot’s PCP deals can’t match Honda’s. The PureTech is the best engine of the three and the 308 performed well, but it trails on value, while its updated infotainment isn’t enough of an improvement. Other options in this category... Vauxhall Astra Elite Nav 150PSPrice: £22,135Engine: 4cyl, 148bhpWith its solid driving dynamics, strong comfort and impressive space, the Vauxhall Astra is worth a look. The petrol in Elite Nav trim is good value, because it’s as well kitted out as our pricier test cars. You also get more Megane TCe Signature NavPrice: £21,790Engine: 4cyl, 128bhpThe petrol Megane is a match for the three contenders in our test, and it’s nearly as well equipped as the Astra, too. In addition, the Renault has style on its side, and offers something different again in this class.

(average) CO2 emissions Expenses Virtual Adviser's™ opinion Overview Well, these are two pretty similar cars we have here! It's only details that could potentially make the difference. Considering they both belong to the small family car segment and utilize the same 5-door wagon body style and the front wheel drive system, it all comes up to the specific diesel engine choice they offer. The first one has a Peugeot-engineered powertrain under the hood, a 4-cylinder, 8-valves 92hp unit, while the other one gets its power and torque from a 4-cylinder, 16-valves 115hp engine designed by Volkswagen. Safety The first thing to look into here would be the results from European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP) tests performed on the two cars. Good thing is that both vehicles got tested, with the same number of safety stars gained in the process. Moving further on, let's take a closer look at some additional safety-related facts. Both vehicles belong to the small family car segment, which is generally classifying them somewhere in the middle safety-wise, but it doesn't do much to help us decide between the two. On the other hand, if we'd like to consider vehicle mass in this context too, which we definitely should, the German car offers a considerable difference of 13% more metal. Reliability I don't like generalizing things when it comes to reliability, although it does seem that Peugeot does have a slight advantage, when all the models are taken into account. These are the results of an independent reasearch, while our visitors describe reliability of Peugeot with an average rating of and models under the Volkswagen badge with out of 5. The same official information place 308 as average reliability-wise, and Golf is more or less at the same it all, drivers of cars with the same engine as the French car rank it on average as while the one under the competitor's bonnet gets out of 5. Performance & Fuel economy Volkswagen is undoubtly more agile, reaching 100km/h in seconds less than its competitor. In addition to that it accelerates all the way to 200 kilometers per hour, 19km/h more than the other car. When it comes to fuel economy things look pretty much the same for both cars, averaging around 4 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers (72 mpg), in combined cycle. Verdict Peugeot appears just a bit more reliable, although the difference is truly marginal. The most important thing when deciding between any two vehicles should always be safety, both passive and active. In my opinion, everything taken into account, the German car offers significantly better overall protection, taking the lead here. It all continues in the same direction, with Volkswagen being considerably quicker, thus putting more smile on driver's face. It does come at a cost though, and that's the fuel consumption... No mistake, whatever you decide here, but I'd still go for the Volkswagen. Nevertheless, let's not forget that people have different preferences and needs, so what really counts is your personal feel. I'm only here to help. I suggest you spend two more minutes in order to find out which car, based on your needs and budget, would be picked by the virtual adviser™, among more than different ones in our database.
