The silhouettes of the Volkswagen Golf and Peugeot 308 are similar in that both feature a slant nose and are sleek hatchbacks with minimal protrusions. However, while the Golf follows the design of previous models, the 308 has completely changed its design from its predecessor. The 308 is the one that feels brand new.
The body size of the 308 is slightly larger. However, thanks to the clever body design, you don’t notice this. The 308 also uses wider tires. The Golf has higher-end versions, the “GTI” and “R.” It could be said that the car was designed with these in mind to give it a sporty look.

If you consider the car’s design in relation to your lifestyle and fashion style, the decision may come naturally.
