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!
Peugeot, and French cars in general for that matter, has always been synonymous with chic design. It's also fair to say that either one of the two big French brands has also gone through more trying times in terms of design. However, when looking at it from a whole-of-life perspective, both brands have some automotive solid gold in their back catalogues...
This pair offers European style and sensibility by the bootload, but very different designs make for curious competitors.

The 2021 Peugeot 508 range will double in size by the end of 2021, with the introduction of plug-in hybrid variants of the French brand's mid-size liftback and wagon. A Peugeot Citroen Australia spokesperson confirmed to CarAdvice the 508 plug-in hybrid (PHEV) – badged 508 Hybrid – will arrive in Australian showrooms in the second half of 2021, joining a plug-in version of the 3008 mid-size SUV also due in showrooms during the same period...
Pricing for the 2021 Peugeot 508 Sport Engineered in Germany has been announced – and it's not as affordable as many expected. The 508 Sport Engineered – Peugeot's first high-performance, 'Peugeot Sport Engineered' branded plug-in hybrid model – will be priced from €66,640 (AU$105,000) in five-door liftback guise, with the long-roof, enthusiast-favourite wagon variant attracting a €67,940 (AU$107,000) price tag – some €10,000 (AU$16,000) more than a 'standard', optioned-up, top-spec 508 GT plug-in hybrid...
Australia is looking likely to receive the most powerful Peugeot ever built - the plug-in hybrid Peugeot 508 Sport Engineered (already dubbed 'Peugeot 508 PSE' by punters). At the launch of its all-new 2008 small SUV, Kate Gillis, general manager of Peugeot Citroen Australia, said that evaluation has so far been favourable, and that PSA Groupe were in support of launching the vehicle in Australia...

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...
