Peugeot 508 (2018-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Bold and attractive styling	Not as practical as some rivals
High-quality interior	The ride is too firm for some tastes
Plug-in hybrid is a great choice for company car drivers	BMW 3 Series is more enjoyable to drive

Quick Summary

The Peugeot 508 (2018-present) is a stylish family saloon and estate that boldly challenges the conservative design conventions of its segment. With its swooping Fastback hatch and elegant SW estate, the 508 offers cutting-edge modern styling that rivals premium marques like Audi and BMW. The 2023 facelift brought updated infotainment and refreshed LED headlights, aligning the car with Peugeot's newer model range. The interior features quality materials throughout, though they don't quite match premium competitors. The i-Cockpit layout with its 12.5-inch instrument display and small steering wheel takes adjustment but improves on previous Peugeot designs.

The 508 delivers impressive driving dynamics with direct steering, excellent grip, and composed handling that feels dynamic and engaging without matching a BMW 3 Series. A supple ride and low noise levels make it a refined long-distance cruiser, particularly with adaptive dampers on higher trims. Engine options include 1.6-litre and 1.2-litre petrol units, 1.5-litre and 2.0-litre diesels, a plug-in hybrid with 30 miles of electric range, and the high-performance PSE variant with 335bhp. Boot space of 487 litres is average, expanding to 1,537 litres with rear seats folded. The SW estate offers 530 litres, increasing to 1,780 litres when seats are down.

Best for: Buyers seeking stylish, modern design with premium appeal, company car users considering the plug-in hybrid, and those wanting a refined long-distance cruiser with engaging handling.

Not ideal for: Those prioritising maximum practicality, buyers seeking the finest driving dynamics of a BMW 3 Series, or those who prefer a softer ride quality.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the 508 if: You value bold, modern styling with premium appeal, seek a refined long-distance cruiser, or are a company car user considering the plug-in hybrid option.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise maximum practicality, desire the finest driving dynamics of a BMW 3 Series, or prefer a softer ride quality.

Competitive Position: The Peugeot 508 (2018-present) stands out in the family saloon segment with its striking design and high-quality interior, offering excellent value with 37.8% of listings representing good or great deals. Whilst it doesn't quite match the practicality of the Skoda Superb or the driving engagement of a BMW 3 Series, its stylish appeal, refined ride, and diverse engine options—particularly the plug-in hybrid for company car drivers—make it a compelling choice for those seeking something different. The 2023 facelift further enhances its appeal with updated technology and refreshed styling.
