Product Overview

Peugeot 508 II (chassis code R83) is a mid-size lift-back sedan in production from 2018. It is available with a range of inline-3 and inline-4 engines that displaced 1.2 to 2.0 liters.
Compared to the original 508, the Mk2 has a more upscale exterior styling and improved interior quality. For the first time in a long time, a Peugeot has independent rear suspensions. The 1.6 PSE variant even has decent performance.
The official fuel economy rating is exceptionally rosy, though it may cast more doubts on the trustworthiness of the regulators and perhaps the owner's own sanity than it relates to reality.

The 508 PSE is a bold move for Peugeot. It's exciting for us car fans to see a brand push forward with performance models when so many are shying away. But it also seems risky, especially when it pins itself against well-regarded rivals, such as the Volvo S60 T8 Polestar. The cockpit is cosseting in the way one expects from higher-end cars.

PSE’s hybrid powertrain combines a 197bhp turbocharged 1.6-litre petrol four-cylinder engine with a pair of electric motors. It has a claimed 0-62mph time of 5.2sec and it achieves 139mpg on the WLTP combined cycle, emitting 46g/km of CO2. Its 11.5kWh lithium ion battery offers an electric-only range of 26 miles and can be fully charged in two hours using a 32-amp wallbox.

The Peugeot 508 Fastback is one of the more appealing models for sale in the family car sector. It has an attractive interior that gives off a sporting vibe, and even in entry-level specification has a wide range of equipment. Despite its generous proportions, it's not the roomiest machine in its class.

The Peugeot 508 plug-in is pricey, but low running costs should help offset this. Its dynamics are fine, if not fun, while the level of kit in Allure trim is great. While there's lots of tech, some of it could be better thought out and executed. There are just a few issues at this price that don't quite match the premium aspirations.

Pros
  • Powerful petrol engine

  • No automatic gearbox

Reviewers from autoexpress have found the following***:
The 508 PSE uses a 1.6-litre PureTech turbo petrol unit in conjunction with a pair of electric motors. An e-EAT8 eight-speed automatic handles the engine and front motor's power. The plug-in hybrid drivetrain is a huge factor in this. Alongside the claimed 26-mile electric range, up to 138.9mpg and CO2 emissions as low as 46g/km mean a Benefit-in-Kind company car tax rate of just 13%.

There's 222bhp on offer from the combined 1.6-litre turbo four-cylinder and single e-motor when the two work together. Peugeot claims a top speed of 84mph in electric-only mode and says the 508 HYbrid is capable of up to 39 miles of range from the battery. Unlike the 3008 and 5008 hybrids, there's no all-wheel drive version here.
