Peugeot released the 508 in 2011 as a replacement for the 407 and the larger 607. This executive saloon has been available in three bodystyles to make sure that it appeals to a wider market, including saloon, fastback (hatchback) and estate. Since its introduction, the 508 has been through two generations and several facelifts, ensuring that the model always has a high level of refinement.

Peugeot 508 video review
Different generations of used Peugeot 508
Second Generation (2018 to Present)
The Peugeot 508 became even more impressive with the second generation, offering a sleek, premium style. With the frameless doors, it's more like a five-door coupé than a saloon. The vehicle's integrated bumper and headlamps help it to stand out among the competition.
In 2018, Peugeot released a 508 PSE with race-car inspired plug-in hybrid technology. Its LED strip daytime running lights cross over the front bumper and a special grey colour was offered exclusively for this model. By 2023, the entire lineup was ready for a refresh with a redesigned grille that showcased a 3D pattern and upgraded LED daytime running lights.

First Generation (2011 to 2018)
Peugeot wanted to replace its mid-size 407 saloon and executive 607 with a single car, so the company released the 508. Those who wanted the 407 were happy with the larger model and enthusiasts of the 607 enjoyed the enhanced materials and equipment of the 508, so it was a win-win situation. Many of the car's details made it look different from others in the segment, such as the broad trapezoidal grille and swept-back headlights.
In 2014, the 508 was restyled, but the exterior remained nearly identical. The changes came in the form of some modernised equipment and refined powertrain options. Even the interior retained much of its appearance, but the added equipment ensured a more practical experience.

Used Peugeot 508 FAQ's
Which is the most popular engine in the Peugeot 508?
Even though the diesel options aren't available with the newest lineup, these engines are the most popular among the used models. Customers may want to look for the efficient 1.5-litre and 2.0-litre BlueHDi engines that produce between 118bhp and 174bhp.
Which are the most popular model variants?
Since the refresh in 2023, the Peugeot 508 has only come in two models: Allure and GT. The most popular among used cars is an older model known as GT Line. This variant includes an upgraded style with 18-inch alloys, half-leather trimmed seats, a twin exhaust and full LED headlamps.
What optional extras should I look out for?
Customers should look out for the panoramic glass roof, along with heated front seats. There are also plenty of added safety features to look for, such as automatic high-beam headlights, blind spot monitoring, driver attention alert and radar-guided cruise control.
Is the Peugeot 508 a good family car?
The 508 is a sleek executive car that can offer a lot of practicality for a family. The boot space is ample and the technology is modern. However, if taller passengers are going to be using the rear seat, it may be better to choose the 508 SW estate for the added headroom.
Is there a hybrid version of the Peugeot 508?
Yes, Peugeot offers two plug-in hybrid models, known as the Hybrid 225 and the Hybrid 360. These engines create a combined 221bhp or 350bhp and can offer a maximum of 40 miles of electric-only driving per charge.
Is the Peugeot 508 available as an automatic?
Yes, the majority of used 508 models available come with an automatic transmission. There are also some manual gearbox models that help to keep the cost down and offer more control.
Is there a four-wheel drive version available?
While the majority of used 508 models come with standard front-wheel drive, there were a few models produced with four-wheel drive. Customers may have to do more searching to find what they want, but it will be worth it if they desire more traction and better handling.
