The Peugeot 508 is Peugeot's flagship large family car, available as a sleek five-door fastback and a practical SW (estate), offering a blend of sharp design, a high-quality interior (PEUGEOT i-Cockpit), and diverse powertrain options including plug-in hybrids. A high-performance Peugeot Sport Engineered (PSE) variant is also available.
Body Styles
Fastback (Saloon/Liftback): This model features a sporty, low-slung coupe design with frameless doors and a practical five-door liftback configuration for boot access.
SW (Estate/Sportswagon): The estate version offers more boot space (530 litres, expandable to 1,780 litres) and a slightly different roofline while maintaining the stylish aesthetic.
508L: A China-exclusive, long-wheelbase traditional four-door sedan with framed doors. Powertrain Options
The 508 is available with petrol, diesel (in certain markets), mild-hybrid, and plug-in hybrid engines, all typically paired with an 8-speed EAT8 automatic transmission.
Note: Diesel options, such as the 1.5L BlueHDi 130 hp and prior 2.0L variants, were available on older models or specific markets but have largely been phased out of the main lineup in favor of electrified options.
