Read on to discover more about the All-New 508 and how it could redefine your weekly commute.
Design and Practicality
Peugeot's styling department have created some stunning models in the last few years, yet they have somehow managed to excel themselves once again with the new 508.
Regardless of whether you opt for the Fastback or SW Estate, owners will enjoy tight lines and muscular features. One of the boldest exterior features is the rear light cluster, which boast a 3D full LED 'claw effect', that really distinguish the 508 from the crowd.
Because of its shape, the practicality level is enormous. The boot capacity of the fastback bodystyle is huge thanks to a hatchback-like opening, and the SW estate makes things even more practical still.
Interior and Technology
Although the exterior of the new 508 is stunning, it's the cabin design and its technology that really help this car excel. The interior has been designed to surround the driver and its passengers in a blanket of futuristic luxury and refinement.
The 12.3" head-up digital instrument panel can be configured to show you the driving information you desire, while Peugeot's innovative i-Cockpit infotainment system is intuitive and easy to use. The addition of the aluminium shortcut buttons to change menus are a simple addition that make life much easier on a daily basis.
Regardless of the specification you opt for, you will enjoy an ocean of premium materials that have been beautifully stitched together.
Economy and Performance
Alongside a fresh exterior design and new interior layout, the 508 gets access to Peugeot's latest generation of engines and gearboxes, which even includes the addition of a plug-in hybrid option.
If you do a large number of miles throughout the year, then the award-winning BlueHDi diesel engines are guaranteed to provide you with all the efficiency you need, while the PureTech petrol engines offer a blend of usable performance and excellent fuel economy.
The plug-in hybrid variant is a game changer, and allows owners to benefit from lower emissions and better efficiency on a weekly basis. With a shade under 40 miles available on a full-charge, your daily commute could be considerably kinder on the bank account.
