The Peugeot 508 was unveiled to the general public in October 2010 at the Paris Motor Show. The car has replaced two models in the brand's lineup at once: Peugeot 407 and Peugeot 607. The new flagship is available in two body styles - sedan and station wagon.

The basis for the model was developed by PSA Peugeot Citroen "platform3" from the 407th model. The platform was stretched and the base of the Peugeot 508 increased by 9.2 cm.This allowed to expand the space for rear passengers by more than 5 cm.The sedan is 4.79 meters long, and will be 10 cm longer 407, but 11 cm shorter Peugeot 607. The length of the Peugeot 508 SW station wagon is 4.81 m. Despite the increased dimensions, the car turned out to be even lighter than the 407. The Peugeot 508 sedan is 35 kg lighter, and the station wagon is 45 kg lighter than the 407 model with the corresponding bodies. The design was lightened due to a number of innovations, such as: an aluminum hood, a new composition of steels, magnesium elements in the structure, a composite trunk lid, the outer side of which is made of plastic. Also, the use of new noise-absorbing materials made it possible to lighten the car by a few more kilograms.mmov. The car will be produced in France for all of Europe.

Peugeot 508 sets new benchmarks in brand design and a higher level of quality and equipment. The design is elegant and solid. Due to the fact that the front overhang of the model was made shorter, the geometric cross-country ability has improved compared to the 407th. But the rear bumper, on the contrary, has grown. This positively affected both the proportionality in the appearance of the car and the volume of the trunk. The hood is decorated with a modified emblem (which was introduced last year for the 200th anniversary of Peugeot), andto a lion now adorns a tiny inscription with the name of the brand.

The interior design is of the highest quality: soft plastics, four-zone climate control (option). Large exterior mirrors provide excellent visibility and a more comfortable driving position. Plus it is possible to supply optional chairs with adjustable cushion length and massage function. The dashboard is informative enough, readings are easy to read. A highlight can be considered a small retractable screen on the front panel, on whichindicators of navigation, speedometer and cruise control.

The choice of engines for the 508 is in keeping with the spirit of the times. Like other automakers, Peugeot is phasing out the multi-cylinder power hungry engines. In particular, on the new model, the V6 was abandoned altogether in favor of in-line "fours", the power of which was tried to be raised by turbocharging. A total of seven engines are offered for the Peugeot 508. The smallest part of them is gasoline: one gasoline - 156 hp. and 1.6 THP (240 N • m) and the second 120 hp. 1.6 VTi (160 N • m). One is aggregatedwith a machine gun or mechanics, and the second - with a BMP6 "robot". All gearboxes are six-speed. The range of diesel engines is presented in five variants. The first diesel engine on offer has 112 hp. with. with 1.6 HDi (254 N • m) with 5 speed manual gearbox. Two two-liter, which develop 140 hp. and 163 hp. 340 N • m each.

The 508 has successfully passed Euro NCAP safety testing and received five stars. The car showed best-in-class results in the Child-Passenger Protection category and received 97% for Safety Devices.

In 2014, prthere was a presentation of a restyled version of the Peugeot 508 model. The exterior remained recognizable, the changes that took place were dictated rather by the trends of the times. The main innovations have touched the front of the car. She received completely new three-zone headlights, a different shape of the front bumper and a redesigned, more interesting radiator grille design. As a result, the appearance of the sedan has become more aggressive and predatory.

For the most advanced versions of RXH, GT and Allure, Peugeot offers a new lighting system that includes headlights, daytimee running lights, turn indicators and fog lights made entirely of high-tech LED elements. The headlights consist of three modules, each of which contains 4 LEDs, plus 3 additional LEDs are used for cornering lights. In addition to safety and energy savings, this technology allows for fine-tuning of the headlight pattern, while emphasizing the "feline" look of the car.

The designers of the model also worked on the taillights. They increased horizontally, which is noticeable both when viewed from the side and when viewed from behind. Each of the lanterns consists of 36 LEDs arranged in three claw-like lines. Their opalescent light creates a unique technological light pattern that is highly memorable.

Reconstruction of the interior is evolutionary. There are fewer changes that catch the eye than in the exterior, but they are still present in the small details of the instrument panel, center console and other elements of the interior space. The change to the best one is immediately noticeable.the quality of the cladding has improved, the ergonomics have improved. A 7-inch touchscreen display appeared on the control panel in the cabin of the restyled Peugeot 508. Thanks to this, the number of keys located on the center panel was reduced, and a very useful compartment for storing small things could fit in the center panel.

The list of options now includes a keyless entry system, an electromechanical handbrake, four-zone climate control, a color rear-view camera and a blind spot monitoring system.
