Peugeot 508 overview
Editorial context for design, cabin, performance, practicality, and buyer notes.
Design
The exterior update of the 508 is highlighted by a completely redesigned front end. The signature grille now merges directly into the front bumper structure, showcasing Peugeot's updated shield logo at its center. Slim matrix LED headlights are standard, complemented by vertical daytime running lights shaped like three claws that extend down the bumper. At the rear, the full-LED tail lights retain the three-claw design but incorporate dynamic indicators. The liftback profile maintains its low-slung, athletic stance, measuring 4,750 mm in length and sitting just 1,403 mm high. Wheel sizes include 18-inch alloy designs on higher trims like the GT, completing a modern and aggressive road presence.
Interior
Inside, the 508 features the updated Peugeot i-Cockpit layout, characterized by a small, low-set sports steering wheel and a high-mounted digital instrument cluster. Infotainment is handled by the i-Connect Advanced system, which utilizes a 10-inch high-definition central touchscreen supporting wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, connected navigation, and voice recognition. On premium trims, the cabin can be appointed with premium Nappa leather upholstery, an eight-speaker Focal audio system with a subwoofer, and front seats that offer both massage and memory functions. A chilled front armrest compartment, wireless phone charging, and dual-zone climate control contribute to comfort during long-distance travel.
Performance
Powertrain choices for the 508 are extensive, all paired with an Aisin-sourced eight-speed automatic transmission driving the front wheels, with one notable all-wheel-drive exception. Entry-level options include a 1.2-liter three-cylinder PureTech petrol engine and a 1.5-liter BlueHDi diesel, both producing 130 horsepower. A stronger 1.6-liter PureTech petrol engine is available with 215 horsepower. The plug-in hybrid range offers 180-horsepower and 225-horsepower variants, combining a 1.6-liter engine with electric assist. The flagship Peugeot Sport Engineered (PSE) version uses a plug-in hybrid setup to deliver a combined 360 horsepower and standard all-wheel drive, enabling a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 5.2 seconds.
Practicality
Despite its swept-back coupe roofline, the 508 liftback offers five-seat practicality and a versatile rear cargo area accessible via a large hatch. This opening makes loading bulky items easier than in a conventional sedan. A wheelbase of 2,793 mm provides adequate legroom for passenger comfort, though rear headroom is slightly compromised by the sloping roof. Convenient everyday details include a contactless power tailgate, split-folding rear seats with a center armrest pass-through, Isofix child seat anchors, and a cooled storage compartment in the front console. Its low cargo lip and wide trunk opening make it well-suited for family road trips.
Safety and tech
Technological features on the 2023 Peugeot 508 focus heavily on driver assistance and convenience. It offers Level 2 semi-autonomous driving features, including adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go functionality and active lane keeping assist. A night vision system uses an infrared camera to detect pedestrians or animals beyond the range of the headlights. Parking maneuvers are simplified by a 360-degree camera system and front and rear sensors. Additionally, higher-trim models benefit from an adaptive suspension system with Normal, Comfort, and Sport driving modes, allowing the driver to alter the ride quality to suit their preferences.
Buyer notes
When shopping for a 2023 Peugeot 508, buyers must carefully compare the engine options to match their driving habits. The standard 130-horsepower engines focus on highway efficiency, while the 215-horsepower petrol and plug-in hybrids offer a more responsive driving experience. Plug-in hybrid variants require regular charging to achieve their advertised efficiency but offer zero-emission local driving. Premium equipment such as the Focal HiFi system, Nappa leather, massage seats, and adaptive suspension are generally reserved for the GT trim or optional packages, and availability can vary significantly depending on the local market.
