The new Peugeot 508 changes everything. Its structure is more compact and its height reduced. The new exterior design is sharper and more robust, while the car's spectacular interior includes an evolution of the iconic Peugeot i-Cockpit®. Its exemplary road-handling, new engines, countless technology features and quantum leap in quality means the new Peugeot 508 sets a world class standard within the D-segment and further supports the Brand's upmarket strategy.

A changing concept for a changing segment

In the European market, the traditional D-segment saloon has been stagnant for the last four years, after more than a decade of decline. Under pressure from a diverse range of customer preferences and designs, especially from the SUV market, the large saloon now only finds favour through offering wider variety and adopting a more pronounced identity, .

It was against this backdrop that the designers behind the new Peugeot 508 stated their clear aim: to move away from the conventional boot-lid, four-door shape and towards a five-door fastback coupé-saloon.

A bold design

At first glance, the new Peugeot 508 surprises onlookers with an energetic and expressive presence. The car's height has been reduced - it now barely reaches 1.40 m - and the aerodynamic lines of the vehicle are reminiscent of the coupé style.

The front end is impressive, even aggressive. The finely fashioned, radiator grill with chrome-plated chequerboard asserts itself between the Full LED headlights, inspiration for which was drawn straight from the brand's latest concept car: Peugeot Instinct. With the famous lion centred on its radiator grill and the 508 logo upon the nose of the bonnet, the new Peugeot 508 pays tribute to its acclaimed predecessors, the Peugeot 504 and 504 coupé.
