FROM
$67,980

The Peugeot 508 family sedan and wagon range was launched in mid 2011 as the French brand’s replacement of sorts for the 407 and 607.

It may not have set the sales charts alight, but it was praised for its supple ride and elegant design.

The second-generation version from 2018 features an attention-grabbing design that signalled a change in direction for Peugeot.

The line-up currently starts at $67,980 for the 508 GT Phev and ranges through to $79,310 for the range-topping 508 GT Phev.

Peugeot 508 FAQs

Why does my 2016 Peugeot 508 tell me to stop the engine while I am driving?

Hot engine oil is a normal part of a car’s operation. If there’s a little smoke from the oil when you open the oil-cap on top of the engine, that’s actually reasonably normal, provided it’s only a few fumes and not huge clouds of smoke.

The car telling you to stop could be due to any number of faults or conditions within the car, so the wise thing to do is have it scanned at a Peugeot specialist who will be able to interpret the coded messages the car spits out. The turbocharger could be the component at fault here, but without an electronic scan, you’d only be guessing at the real cause.

Peugeot 508 Interior

On the interior, the 10.0-inch touchscreen multimedia system takes centre stage and is joined by a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster.

Despite all of the deep cutaways, the dashboard looks quite sleek because of the glossy black piano accents and satin chrome insert panels. 'Piano key' controls round out the centre console, while the classic Peugeot compact steering wheel completes the cockpit.

A panoramic sunroof can be fitted as an optional extra.

Peugeot 508 Engine

There are two engines available -

The Sportswagon has a 1.6-litre, four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine with maximum outputs of 165kW and 300Nm.

The Sportswagon GT PHEV has a 1.6-litre, four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine, as well as an electric motor that sits on the front axle which provides combined outputs of 165kW and 360Nm.

Peugeot 508 Boot Space

The boot is a great size at 530L with all seats in use and you can bump it to 1780L with the rear seats folded. You get a level loading space and a 60/40 split with a ski-port in the back seat, which opens up your storage options.
