Have driven my 508 for 3 months now and absolutely love it. Its a true pleasure to drive and combines great economy and power. Had a peugeot 504 and 205 yrs ago and loved those too 👍

@chrisabbott683 5 лет назад

I never thought I would say this, but in terms of interior design Peugeot could teach the Germans a thing or two about style.

@MegaMulec 5 лет назад

Yes, BUT...few years ago when new 308 came out Peugeot looked like spaceship compared to golf 7 and now few years later i dont even notice 308 and golf 7 still manages to look fresh. Its something I cant put my finger on but german cars somehow stay fresh longer in terms of design. Btw I drive a Ford so no fanboyism here.

@OfficialXivil 5 лет назад

I have to say: If I had enough money, I'd buy a Peugeot 508 rather than an Audi A4/A5 5-door or VW Arteon. I mean look at it, it's stunningly beautiful (interior and exterior). I actually liked the design of the previous facelifted model of the 508. German cars don't look interesting anymore (except for the current Opel Insignia)

@guilhermefernandes222 5 лет назад

Forgot about the bmw 4 series gran coupe! Its beautiful!

@bestattitude 5 лет назад

It's really nice to hear (and to read in the comment section) how this new Peugeot sedan lives up to what people expect from this kind of cars today. I'm french, and since I grew up with Peugeot 4 series and then worked at Peugeot, I've always had a true bind to this brand. But between 2001 and 2013 (that's a loooong time), Peugeot styling directions mostly made me cringe. They had to come up with the 308 in 2013, with the 5008 and now with this stunning new 508, to get all my love back again. There's been a tremendous step-up across the lineup lately, in terms of build quality, styling and overall look-and-feel, that shows Peugeot's new strategy. Oh, one thing they never lost : Peugeot has always been the best manufacturer (side to side with BMW) for everything related to handling and chassis design/settings. That is something that the press in the UK often ignores, praising for Ford's agility (which is good too). And this new 508 is no exception. It offers PERFECT balance between riding comfort; handling, and steering precision/feedback, like all the Peugeots always have. They really should develop some really powerful engines to suit their marvelous suspensions even better.

@ryancooper73 5 лет назад

Karim KAIEL I agree with you, they should put 6-cylinder engines to match the vehicle. But unfortunately, Peugeot isn't in a position where they can develop an engine only to sell little of them. 😕 I still think it is crazy how the cars on the EMP2 platform handles, with a basic front wheel drive and standard suspension setup. Germans have to put 4 wheel drive, 4 wheel steering, and adaptive dampers to get close to matching French vehicles in terms of versatility.

@ericmartin5488 5 лет назад

We must thank Gilles Vidal for this come back of Peugeot !

@tonyb1223 5 лет назад

I have owned quite a few peugeots and i literally stopped buying them after the 306 GTi-6 as the cars just became bland. Since their new CEO took over, they have produced some excellent cars, the RCZ (ive got the R), the 208, 308 mk2, 3008 SUV (just picking my 2nd one up next week), the 508 (test drove it and loved it but i needed a slightly more accessible car for taking the mother out and the 508 is a little difficult for her to get in, hence a new 3008 SUV). Its good to see they have their mojo back :)

@Dan-up6do 5 лет назад

Great review Ginny, you're right about the looks the 508 is a very pretty car & very reminiscent of Peugeot's of the past (like the 504) and that's a big compliment to give it, seems like Peugeot are finally staring to build interesting cars again. I'm with Batch though on the piano switches, i really like them too. It's a small touch but one that's so avent-garde, so French, like something you'd find in a big Citroen.

@obidean3964 5 лет назад

The visual of this car is amazingly well done inside-out, undercut the car above its segment namely the repetitive looking premium German's rivals, let alone its nearest ... There's a lot of tasteful intricate design details around this car like the kink at the rear window complete with the GT emblem, the piano - inspired toggle keys and the quilted pattern on the seats which is not the usual cross - stitched diamond design that really show their design prowess ... Kudos, Peugeot 👏

We tried all sorts of things to get in, the salesman was laughing his head off at us, but he admitted we were not going to get in. Talk about being disappointed as I have had Peugeots before and had nothing like this, very very disappointed the problem is the roof pillor at the top of the door, just to low
