Peugeot 508: Sleek Flagship Fastback Sedan

The 508 is Peugeot's flagship sedan, wrapped in a sleek fastback shape with a PHEV Sport Engineered performance version.

The Peugeot 508 abandoned a traditional three-box sedan silhouette in favor of a coupe-like fastback profile, giving it a road presence that stands out among midsize sedan rivals.

At the top of the range sits the 508 PSE, or Sport Engineered, a plug-in hybrid performance variant that combines a turbocharged petrol engine with electric motors for all-wheel drive and brisk acceleration.

Inside, the 508 carries Peugeot's upscale ambitions with high-quality materials and the compact i-Cockpit steering wheel, positioning the car as a genuine alternative to premium-badged sedans at a more accessible price.
