"The Peugeot 508 is a stylish, well built and comfortable sedan, but it seems expensive compared to competitors."
The Peugeot 508 is a large family sedan that offers distinctive good looks, an attractive interior and a comfortable driving experience. Competition in this area is stiff, but: the 508 goes up against the excellent-to-drive Ford Mondeo and Opel Insignia faithful - both a broader range of motors and are much cheaper. In fact the more desirable Volkswagen Passat costs about the same as the Peugeot, while a well-specified 508 more expensive than an entry-level BMW 3 Series or Mercedes C-Class. If you need more space, Peugeot also offers the Peugeot 508 SW estate that is available in addition as a four-wheel drive hybrid, called the Peugeot 508 RXH. We have these two evaluated separately
The Peugeot 508 is a good case for itself in many ways. It's a beautiful and efficient car, with even the most powerful engine returns over 60mpg. The entry-level engine is a 0bhp 1.6-liter diesel, which gets the car from 0-62mph in 11 seconds, returns 70.6mpg and costs just £ 20 per year in road tax, with low CO2 emissions of 103g / km. A 2.0-liter diesel engine with either 150 or 180bhp available, although the more powerful it is only available in top-spec GT trim, which pushes the price of 508 to more than £ 30,000.

Fuel remains impressive, depending on what the 2.0 liter engines you choose: the 150bhp returns 72.5mpg and costs just £ 20 per year in road tax, while a 0-62mph time of 8.9 seconds makes keeping up with the traffic light. The 180bhp engine delivers 67.3mpg and caused the same annual road tax bill of £ 20, while a 0-62mph time of 8.5 seconds makes it the fastest version of the 508. The disadvantage of this impressive economy is that Peugeot has only the 508 with a diesel engine, limiting its appeal somewhat.
The hybrid Peugeot 508 HY4 uses a diesel engine combined with an electric motor, and in spite of all-wheel drive as standard (the economy be affected) still manages to return 70.6mpg and exempt from road tax by CO2 emissions of just 95 g / km. With more than £ 32,000, the 508 HY4 is expensive but.
Like most large, French-made sedans, the Peugeot 508 is comfortable on the street. The suspension has to go a good job of you potholes and poor surface insulating and it is a relaxing car - although the Ford Mondeo is finally cut the driver

the 508 has built a good interior with comfortable seats and plenty of soft-touch plastic. Front and rear occupants benefit from ample headroom and legroom to be comfortable with even the middle seat in the back for adults. There are a few too many buttons, though - both on the dashboard and steering wheel - that is the 508 a bit "busy" feel inside and means to find the right controller can be tricky. The 473-liter saloon-style boot is smaller than the Volkswagen Passat, while the Ford Mondeo and Skoda Superb also have larger boots, combined with hatchback practicality.
Peugeot 508 offers in four trim levels, starting with Active and rises by Allure, GT Line and top spec GT. Active is probably all the equipment you need: the scuff plate includes a seven-inch touch-screen navigation, Bluetooth phone connectivity, DAB radio, 17-inch alloy wheels, air conditioning, cruise control, LED daytime running lights and rear parking sensors.
Allure trim costs around £ 2,000 more than Active and adds keyless entry and go, a reversing camera, heated semi leather seats, an electronic parking brake and larger 18-inch alloy wheels. GT Line trim adds a further £ 1,000 to the price of 508 and contains red stitching on the seats, another 18-inch alloy wheels, twin exhaust pipes and all-LED headlights.
The top-spec GT trim (only available with the 180bhp 2.0-liter diesel engine) comes with full leather seats (with massage function for the driver), a color head-up display and 19-inch alloy wheels.
In terms of reliability, the Peugeot 508 has an average reputation. In our 2016 Driver Power customer satisfaction survey, there were 83 150 cars with a 109th-place for reliability. Peugeot 17th place results (of 32 manufacturers) is also slightly intoxicating. The 508 demands no sacrifices in terms of safety, but: NCAP is a five-star crash-test score of Euro reassuring because the long list of safety equipment is Peugeot suits any and every 508.
