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 bold and stylish family saloon and estate, designed to stand out in a market increasingly dominated by SUVs. Its striking Fastback and SW estate models boast cutting-edge modernity, with a swooping roofline and impressive grille, offering a premium appeal that aims to challenge traditional Audi, BMW, and Mercedes buyers. A 2023 facelift further updated its styling and infotainment to align with Peugeot's newer models.

The 508 delivers an engaging driving experience with dynamic handling, accurate steering, and a surprisingly supple ride, especially with adaptive dampers. Engine options include refined petrol and diesel units, plus an efficient plug-in hybrid. The high-performance 335bhp PSE variant offers a genuinely sporty drive. While passenger headroom in the Fastback and boot space are average for the class, the interior features quality materials and useful storage. Running costs are competitive, particularly for the economical diesel and hybrid models, making it a comfortable and refined long-distance cruiser.

Best for: Drivers seeking bold, attractive styling and a high-quality interior, company car drivers interested in the plug-in hybrid, and those looking for an engaging yet comfortable long-distance cruiser.

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising maximum practicality (headroom/boot space) over style, those who prefer the ultimate driving dynamics of a BMW 3 Series, or those sensitive to a potentially firm ride on some models.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the 508 if: You're drawn to its bold, attractive styling, appreciate a high-quality interior, are a company car driver considering the plug-in hybrid, or seek an engaging yet comfortable long-distance cruiser.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise maximum practicality (headroom/boot space), desire the ultimate driving dynamics found in rivals like the BMW 3 Series, or prefer a consistently softer ride across all trims.

Competitive Position: The Peugeot 508 (2018-present) stands out in the shrinking saloon and estate market with its distinctive, premium-looking design and engaging driving characteristics. While its practicality might not match class leaders like the Skoda Superb, its high-quality interior, competitive running costs (especially for hybrid models), and refined driving experience make it a strong alternative for buyers looking beyond traditional premium brands, particularly if they can secure a good deal. The PSE model also offers an exciting, high-performance option.
