Peugeot 508 history

Although the Peugeot 508 only came about in 2010, it replaced the 407 and 607 saloons so has a longer history.

> First-generation Peugeot 508 (2010) - Practical and comfortable saloon, facelifted in 2015

> Second-generation Peugeot 508 (2018) - Very stylish replacement with new efficient engines

> Facelifted Peugeot 508 (2023) - New front-end design featuring updated Peugeot logo

What features does the Peugeot 508 have?

The Peugeot 508 features a futuristic-looking design with a very modern cockpit. The steering wheel is an unorthodox shape too, but it works well underneath the swanky digital gauge cluster.

Car tech and connectivity options include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which are displayed on the large infotainment system that’s slightly angled toward the driver.

High-spec cars get plenty of big-car tech, such as a 360-degree parking camera and keyless entry.

The Peugeot 508 has a 487-litre boot in saloon format, or 530 litres in the 508 SW estate, and rear-seat space is also pretty good, too.

Is the Peugeot 508 reliable?

Peugeot has had plenty of time to refine its mainstream saloon, but it also benefits from mechanical parts shared from other Peugeot models, as well as some Citroen and Vauxhall cars, so it’s pretty tried-and-tested.

How much does the Peugeot 508 cost to run?

A by-product of the low-slung style is increased aerodynamics, so a used Peugeot 508 can actually be surprisingly economical. The petrol and diesel engines are great, and while the plug-in hybrid models offer rock-bottom running costs, they’re also pretty powerful, so watch out that you don’t drive them too enthusiastically and that you can still charge regularly enough.

Who is the Peugeot 508 suitable for?

Like many other saloons, a used Peugeot 508 for sale is an excellent choice for families and businesspeople who need a practical car that offers a comfortable and refined ride.

The 508’s main rivals are the Skoda Superb, Ford Mondeo and Vauxhall Insignia Grand Sport.
