Bespoke-built haute couture in the automotive world is terrifyingly expensive, but Peugeot's 2020 ready-to-wear collection hits all the haute notes in a much more attainable package.
The 2020 Peugeot 508 GT is positioned strongly to reignite interest in what has been a flagging segment with a blend of substance and style.
When the Commodore heads into the sunset, the Peugeot 508 will have precious little competition in the large wagon segment. Here, we test the base Allure grade.
Peugeot's back in the big-car game with its striking new 508 GT. But can the wagon variant beat one of the best load-luggers in the mainstream segment: the Mazda6 Atenza?
I’m not sure whether we will ever get Australians to start buying sedans and wagons again, as opposed to rushing blindly into the SUV fold. It could be too far gone, or maybe the tide will turn again at some point in the future. But, as Trent Nikolic wrote earlier in the full review, if any sedan is poised to change the game, this one is up at the head of an impressive segment...
Who buys a large sedan anymore? In Australia, not many. But, the new Peugeot 508 Fastback is a great option if you simply don’t want an SUV and are after something fun and sporty. Prices are yet to be confirmed, but expect it somewhere between $45-55,000 (a little lower or a little higher is possible). It’s worth cross-shopping with the Volkswagen Arteon...
Peugeot's new 508 Touring wagon has debuted in Paris this week, and soon it'll be in Australia. Hallelujah, cry the wagon fiends!
This pair offers European style and sensibility by the bootload, but very different designs make for curious competitors.

Peugeot is getting ready to release the 508 Sport Engineered to the public, the brand's boss has confirmed in an interview with Automotive News Europe – and there's going to be a wagon option.

The recently-released Citroen C5 Aircross SUV has scored four stars out of five in the latest round of ANCAP results, due to a missing piece of semi-autonomous safety technology. Aimed at the Mazda CX-5 and Toyota RAV4 in the hotly-contested mid-sized SUV space, the C5 Aircross's four-star safety rating is down to a 'marginal' result in 'vulnerable road user' (cyclist and pedestrian) protection...
In June 2014 I bought my first 508 2.0L HDi Allure Auto with 164hp. It was just 2 years old. I didn't know at that time but it was an ex-rental car. I enjoyed everything about that car although the extras were limited. Ex-rental was no detriment It was quiet, gear changes went un-noticed, comfortable, easy to drive, quick , economical and above all for me, a superbly good looking car...
I moved from the 3008 to the 508 HDi touring just over 2 years ago. I have not had one problem since purchase and really enjoy the long distances that I drive and the economy. I drove from Healesville to Cairns last year via Lightning ridge and managed to use only 2.5 tanks of fuel (72lt tank) for the trip up for 3,100 approx. km's and the car was loaded...
Just picked up a 2012 508 GT Wagon and thought I would share my first impressions of the car. I'm coming from a 2010 Nissan X-trail ST-L and a 2005 HSV R8 before that, so my impressions will be based on those benchmarks. Outside: It's an interesting looking car. Nice sophisticated lines to it and in black it really looks very sleek in the wagon body...
