There are some editing issues since 22:19. Image and sound from the side camera was fine but the vie from the rear cam was 10 seconds behind the sound.
Like them or not, Peugeot have nailed it when it comes to demonstrating a unique design philosophy and driving experience. They're like a French version of Audi but with added French quirkiness. In the age where car design has become universal, it's nice to see that Peugeot and PSA have embraced French design thinking. I wish more manufacturers would dare to make cars inspired by their country's unique design heritage and philosophies.
True, if this was an Audi everybody would be totally stunned and loving it. Unless the steering steel and mayble limited practicality it is a good step by Peugeot.
I don't care...like Audi as well, but I also like the other Germans...problem I have sometimes with this is that in reviews it is all about how it looks...instead of practicality ...just like in this Peugeot and especially the touch screens in the A6-A8...
Neo Hideo ,,its a piece of shyte underneath the skin..its cancerous! Do Not Buy! no doubt they hv the eye for beauty, but they dont have the capability for quality.
A lowered, even more stylish 3008! Great driving part from Thomas, and excellent entertaining commentary, as always. Don't worry about the strange camera sync, I got used to it pretty quick! Many thanks for all the work bringing us this professional Review.
Thanks gordon that helps!! U know i always want it perfect, must have been an unfortunate mishap in editing since the first front view clip is still sync :)
Video with a new car is one thing, but reality of a couple of thousands real life Km's is another. I used to have Golf VI GTD and now we have a brand new well equipped Peugeot 308. The quality of interior was much better in the old Golf. Anytime I'm cleaning the carpets and plastic parts in 308, it very hard to get sand and dirt out of it. It was totally different level in the Golf. After a cleaning it looked and smelled like new. Also practical details were much better in the Golf. Peugeot has a this small steering wheel that blocks visibility of speedometer, windshield wipers has a stupid overlap, so there is always water in the driver's view, streaming down, radio is completely muted if distance sensors are triggered, a sharp edge on drivers doors is uncomfortable to touch and many more! Peugeot is a significantly cheaper car, but it's very noticeable. Our next car will again be a VW.
PSA is in the US again with a car sharing programm (free2move) in some US airports. They have an office at atlanta to prepare their return step by step in 2025 with new electric cars semi autonomous.
stephen10 I heard about that program but it appears to be a long way off before PSA start selling cars again here. I would love to drive the new 508 maybe when I’m next in Europe. I really think this car could be competitive in the US market.
I am French but I don’t drive french cars until my unfortunate Peugeot 407. After 2 Audi and 2 BMW (now a lovely F35) maybe this 508 will be my next car. I have to taste it.
They're ''boring'' because you're used to seeing them. By they don't age - now pick a design that's ''brave and different'', you celebrate it for a month and after that you're getting eye cancer.
Love the look of the back end. Minimalistic, stylish, but different. Especially like the contrast between the bright red LED brake lights and their dark housings.
What a nice way of starting a Sunday by watching this review! Thomas, this is the icing on the cake, thank you for your great work! I do like this 508 :) Hope you can also show us the Peugeot e-tense at the Paris Auto Show (assuming you will go there). Cheers!
Bought one, super in midnight blue with white leather seat 225 bph , the car is handling beautifull the only remark i got is , when driving fast 130km/h or more there is lots of wind noise from the windows
This 508 makes all current Audi lineup look lame by comparison. Stanced muscular yet lean and athletic looking and the interior are like an evolution of Citroen CX unique futuristic but works in its own way with couch like comfort seats.
Great review , very informative . Peugeot made some beautiful cars , I remember seeing the new 205 1.9 Gti in Miami Blue when i was 17 here in Ireland . Fell in Love 👍
Your review is very practical compared to others out there you talked in a way that I found relevant to making a purchase decision , despite English not being your first language I found your turn of phrase very inciteful and spot on for a car review . I love this car it's so refreshing it's design inside and out is in my view stunning . Speaking as a person who has changed his car every 3 months for the past 3 years (due to a special leasing deal not available to the general public ) my last 12 cars have all been Audis ,VW , BMW ...which have been good cars but all very "samey" so to speak . My preferential lease deal has ended and my next car is going to be the Peugeot 508Gt Line which I think is as good as any so called "premium" German car out there in it's class ...and maybe slightly above it's class price wise . Thanks for a great review ..........subbed .
Thank you very much for your kind words. You are most welcome here!! Also feel free to subscribe to our 2nd channel with shorter reviews: th-cam.com/users/autogefuel
Only the 1.5 BlueHDi has fake exhausts ;) And I'm 1m86 and put the steering wheel a lot lower naturally. Actually, I have issues with the steering wheel hiding the top of the speedometer in most cars xd
Such a simple and effective design with a very visually pleasing overall effect in sedan and SW wagon form. Same goes for the dash/cabin which just looks so special every time you sit and drive the car. Some not so good like the rear passenger space, few functionality issues with the info-screen and those fake exhaust. Top honest review there Thomas.
Cool car. Love bold french design. And I think I prefer black window frames over chrome. Chrome seems kind of stuffy and old fashioned to me. Also, it’s always special to see a sedan from a non-premium manufacturer now, because they seem to be so rare. I saw a Ford Mondeo the other day and I was like wow.
Not a Peugeot fan but 508 is really nice looking car. I like it a lot and I’m glad they made this model. We have seen way to many SUVs and CUVs last 4-5 years. Hopefully sedans are making a comeback. Only thing I’m not sure about is the steering wheel and i-Cockpit. It’s very limited the way you can place your steering wheel and can compromise your driving position. As a guy that likes a good driving position it’s a bit of a negative thing. Other than that I really like this new side of Peugeot and I like the throwback to the Peugeot 504 with the badge on the front. Another thing is here in Denmark we say kilometers per liter or Km/l so it’s more like mpg. It’s weird that a country next to Germany uses different way of measuring fuel consumption 😊 Great review as always Thomas.
Of course we’ll never see this in the US, but if we did it would be a very interesting near lux midsize alternative to the Camry and Accord, as well as the Mazda 6 and fellow Euro hatch Buick Regal.
Im still the minority loving sedans over suvs. And this 508 is an absolute beauty. Im about to buy a new car early 2022. I still cant decide between the passat or 508. What would you guys choose?
Definitely a lot of inspiration from Audi, but this is probably the first time in my life I will say, that a Peugeot actually looks expensive and has quality.
Not much inspiration from Audi. If anything, some parts are BMW-inspired. 'Claws' in front and rear lights, and the edges of the bonnet that go above headlights, are actually clearly inspired by ford mustang.
Very good impressions ,Thömas. As always,a very well covered review,and btw,this new 508 will be a hit!Top notch design in & out,very good consumption on all engine choices,very good auto gearboxes and low CO2 emissions.Now time will tell how good is gonna sell,due to reliability and price .Not sure about the choise of the colour,much nicer in a Pearl White ,Grey or Red,but we all know what big fan of blueish colours Thömas is. 🙏
Hey Thomas, good review as always, just have to add a little comment. I realize it's not the first time you talk bad about the Peugeot interior concept, specifically the steering wheel hight that blocks your view from the gages. I can not understand why you don't get that if it's in front of the gages and you can't see them just push the steering wheel down a little, you will see them then. The reason Peugeot made the steering wheel so small is exactly to see over it, and the taller you are the better. Nevertheless, despite the sound-image gap in the middle and this lack of understanding of how the steering wheel works, I liked the review as always. Keep on the good work, Cheers!
Nowadays, PSA Peugeot Citroen products have a minimalistic dashboard approach with fewer buttons and that is a bad thing because if you want to control the air con you have to press the shortcut button and look at the touchscreen which is a dangerous situation.
Peugeot makes excellent cars and most people don't realize or know. I've driven a 2013 W204 C Class and a 2013 Peugeot 3008 2.0 diesel. The Peugeot actually has less wind noise than the Merc and actually less rattles.
Yr review is as deep and perfect as always ..thank you very much ..but what i want to know , do you think this car chassis is as good as Audi A4 Or betted than Audi A4 as some generalists are saying in there’s review .thank you very much fr yr answer
25:16 wooow, did you see that ? the cluster still displays 70km/h whereas the car is accelering to 100km/h. It's a big display lag we have here... Other thing about this car, the head space on the back seats is a very big big issue for tall people. In several countries in Europe, the previous generation of 508 is used as chauffeur car. So with a issue like that lot of chauffeurs (uber drivers, or taxi) will not buy this new generation of 508.
There was no lag. It was an editing issue. 22:19 Car starts, Thomas starts to accelerate from the junction. 22:31 The same from rear camera but the sound keeps going from the previous shot. Look at the rev counter - gearbox drops a gear at 25:26, that's where the actual aceleration starts. 10 seconds after you could hear it. That's where lag came from.
Hi Thomas! What is your opinion regarding the audio sound system of that car? Is it good enough for a normal use? (This unit does not have the opcional Focal audio sound system and I would like to know if the sound system of that unit sounds good enough) Thanks
Love myself some french cars. One thing I'd like to know though is what's the issue with the GPS? I think my Cactus has exactly the same one since PSA generally uses TomTom software in their setnavs. I really like it a lot, gives you a great overview, only thing that gets a bit confusing are some of the commands it gives you particulary when it tells you to "drive on the Autobahn" while you're already on it and just switching from A81 to A831 :P Then again it does give you a fair ammount of information on construction sides and traffic jams.
Actually that car is D Segment but my feeling is C Segment due to exterior style according to previous model looking small. D Segment customer wants to car, my opinion. You are best on TH-cam friends go go go....
i love the interior. if only it was a little less expensive. i think my '17 honda civic sedan is quite competitive tho. not missing a thing i see in the 508 for around 10k less
Love the cockpit view as it showcases the beautiful interior in "Thomas' driving lounge". Although I'll be honest, the inconsistency of the editing (delayed video) is putting me off a bit. Otherwise a great review as always.
You know what would be cool. You show only the interior, exterior and sometimes open even bonnet, but I would like also to see what is under the car. Power trail etc. so would it be possible to lift all the cars you show up and you could walk through how the car looks like down under.
Or better yet if he could disassemble the whole car so we can see the inside of the engine block. That would be really cool. And also, to REALLY make this video to become one of a kind, he should set the car interior on fire, just so we can see if it's fire proof!!!
Stunning car but when you look at the pricing and you see the horsepower of the low and mid-range versions you can only laugh or cry or both at the same time.
So...not a real petrol vampire :). Those lights must look nice at night though :). I wonder how people under 1.80m are suppose to drive this car? I just can´t understand how someone can put a steering wheel in direct line of sight between dashboard and drivers eyes. Even with your length Thomas you ware not able to see lower parts of the dashboard. And the screen looks like it have low resolution. Also the sun is easily getting in there making it hard to see. People are gonna be irritated with this car but i guess French do things like that on purpose with their cars :).
By the way. Good review as always! Soon 300k subscribers! Are you planning something special for that? :) Maybe a review of an older "special" car or a nice drive on a road with beautiful surroundings/view and car talk? I also request a video where you discuss new emission rules and the taxes in Europe. Here in Sweden we got a new rule this summer where new registered cars will cost a lot more now to own if they produce more emissions. Example for Hyundai I30N with 275Hp CO2 163 g/km before July we got to pay 140€/year in taxes but now after July this year we get to pay 590€/Year. The government want to force people to buy hybrids and all electric cars but the problem is that those cars cost a lot, and many manufacturers are not gonna be ready with "standard" EV:s in 2-4 years and the charger net is not build yet. I don´t know how other countries in EU look at this problem but here in Sweden buying newer car that is not a hybrid/EV and have a "fun" engine with more than 150Hp or something like that cost a lot just in taxes every year...That´s just bad :(. I don´t even want to know how much cars like Audi RS3 gonna go for. Probably more than 1000€ i taxes and 1000€ in insurance.
I'll say it once again peugeot make the most glamorous interior! They let it down only by this screen tjat looks like it was a last minute decision to put one in. So tjeu just plonked it on. Make a swivel screen! Then when it's closed it can show on an e ink sxreen weather or time

If one needs more practicality, buy a bigger car and who cares about that screen if it works well anyway!
With practicality I mean the dangerous situations that could occur when looking down to the touch screens...
this Peugoet inside looks like 100 years ahead of any VW production car
Haha
Hardly
All peugeot cars are ahead of VW in design ! VW is still designing sqaure shape cars like they are bricks
Neo Hideo ,,its a piece of shyte underneath the skin..its cancerous! Do Not Buy! no doubt they hv the eye for beauty, but they dont have the capability for quality.
C J explain your argument...
That car looks more upscale & more expensive that it actually is, i love it
Nuhan Hidayat What’s the price??
50k?
Just like the Mazda 6
Something like 50-60k all option ans thé mot beautiful interior
It's pretty expensive actually. Arteon is cheaper.
A lowered, even more stylish 3008! Great driving part from Thomas, and excellent entertaining commentary, as always. Don't worry about the strange camera sync, I got used to it pretty quick! Many thanks for all the work bringing us this professional Review.

I'm not a Peugeot's fan, but I must say they improved a lot lately. Nice review and nice landscapes! 🙂🙂
Classic 8 gear automatic transmission (no double clutch!), great design, good prices: well done! Could be my next car. I now have an E class.
the interior is on another level, hate to say it but i like it more than the competition(a5, arteon)
Video with a new car is one thing, but reality of a couple of thousands real life Km's is another. I used to have Golf VI GTD and now we have a brand new well equipped Peugeot 308.

Love it. Peugeot are really on the up again with superb cars that are affordable. Since the new 208 came out in 2012 it's been like a new era.

This car is beautiful, and has so much to offer for the price compared to the Germans.
Love the look of the back end. Minimalistic, stylish, but different. Especially like the contrast between the bright red LED brake lights and their dark housings.
Amazing review, thank you for this! Happy to have found your channel.

Brilliant car, by the looks of it. It gets even better with the superb 508 SW

Tq very much for the detail review. Love 508 so much now.
thanks keep tuning in =)
Great work. And again loved the bird call at the beginning....Ha!
Peugeot 508 habe ich. Gott sei dank. Danke schön. 🍀
22:40 A BMW 3 series is not necessairy a sporty car, either. You can get a relatively slow 3 series as well, if you choose so.

I like it. Quite a brave move to launch into a segment that is shrinking especially as they own Vauxhall/Opel and already have the Insignia.
Insignia is a great car!
They really done a grunion with the design, amazing video guys
appreciated !
never thought a peugeot will ever look so good
Very good test, as usual! Freundlichen Grüssen!
2:07
In Belgium (or Flanders in particular) we also say “five hundred eight” 🇧🇪
Cool car. Love bold french design. And I think I prefer black window frames over chrome. Chrome seems kind of stuffy and old fashioned to me.
Also, it’s always special to see a sedan from a non-premium manufacturer now, because they seem to be so rare. I saw a Ford Mondeo the other day and I was like wow.
Looks like a great piece of art! Waiting for the estate version impatiently.
Omg, Peugeot finally looks like a real car!
Great review, Thomas, of the "five oh eight" as we would say. Very elegant car. I'm just happy to see a saloon being reviewed rather than an SUV!
cheers man !
PS following your earlier review of the Honda Jazz I have now bought one and can report that it has been a very smooth, reliable vehicle.
What a great looking car! I love the 508 badge on the hood!
Wish we had it in the USA...
In Malaysia we call it 'lima kosong lapan', which is five zero eight 😁
Same way here in Norway, we call it a "fem null åtte", which also means five zero eight.
In France we call it cinq cent huit haha
very impressive video quality!👏👏👏

Ok but not sophisticated
Peugeot range in general I love. Much more appealing than VW
But it is not as ergonomical and practical.
Interior like in 3008 which is great. Good looking car.
Question: It has adaptive cruise control which is great, but has the car got a speed limiter?
Hahha That engine cover! They didn´t find a smaller one? It looks funny :P.
No logo on the cover. The manufacturer isn't proud oraz what?
Excellent
3:47 says it all... such a German reaction
Premium German cars also have fake exhausts...
We say five hundred and 8 in Turkey, same goes with all other Peugeot models. 208,308,206 etc.
Hey man, have u tested the standard soundsystem? If yes, how is it. I’m really into getting one but it don’t have the focal system :/
I recently had both in the 2008 as comparison: th-cam.com/video/Knx2v87WWjs/w-d-xo.html
Autogefühl and where exactly? I watched it 2 times now and can’t find it🤷🏻♂️😅
Love myself some french cars. One thing I'd like to know though is what's the issue with the GPS? I think my Cactus has exactly the same one since PSA generally uses TomTom software in their setnavs. I really like it a lot, gives you a great overview, only thing that gets a bit confusing are some of the commands it gives you particulary when it tells you to "drive on the Autobahn" while you're already on it and just switching from A81 to A831 :P
Then again it does give you a fair ammount of information on construction sides and traffic jams.
Do you know if the headlights have active shadowing?
finally, a non-German car
So... Finally the best car ! :)
Thanks God, that´s not a German car.
Finally, also, a non-German looking car.
Finally, not a German tank !
Actually that car is D Segment but my feeling is C Segment due to exterior style according to previous model looking small. D Segment customer wants to car, my opinion. You are best on TH-cam friends go go go....
thanks mehmet !!
Show the interior first, then exterior next! It's what I would expect from such review.
Thats not a natural approach of approaching a vehicle :)
@@autogefuehl : it's what I ,as a customer buying a 508, would expect first and foremost .
Beautiful car I remember back in the 80s when the 505 was available in the US, always looked great just wasn’t reliable…
I doubt the 505 wasn't reliable. Some are still driving them in Africa. What was the problem?
i love the interior. if only it was a little less expensive. i think my '17 honda civic sedan is quite competitive tho. not missing a thing i see in the 508 for around 10k less
In Portugal we say 508(five hundred eight) as well. I'm interested in how many languages say it like the english.
Love the cockpit view as it showcases the beautiful interior in "Thomas' driving lounge". Although I'll be honest, the inconsistency of the editing (delayed video) is putting me off a bit. Otherwise a great review as always.
sorry that was a mishap
Elegante & moderno❤️
Which would you better on fuel economy 1.5 or 2 L diesel engine
Thomas, how good is sound insulation on the autobahn? at high speed?
covered in the review !
If the 1.6 Turbo was available with a stick shift, it would serious fun to drive
You know what would be cool. You show only the interior, exterior and sometimes open even bonnet, but I would like also to see what is under the car. Power trail etc. so would it be possible to lift all the cars you show up and you could walk through how the car looks like down under.
Or better yet if he could disassemble the whole car so we can see the inside of the engine block. That would be really cool. And also, to REALLY make this video to become one of a kind, he should set the car interior on fire, just so we can see if it's fire proof!!!
Stunning car but when you look at the pricing and you see the horsepower of the low and mid-range versions you can only laugh or cry or both at the same time.
Looks fantastic, It's great to see the French cars shine again
Vampire car! I am just in the beginning of the review but i bet this car "drink" a lot! :P
wait for the driving part :)
So...not a real petrol vampire :). Those lights must look nice at night though :).
I wonder how people under 1.80m are suppose to drive this car? I just can´t understand how someone can put a steering wheel in direct line of sight between dashboard and drivers eyes. Even with your length Thomas you ware not able to see lower parts of the dashboard. And the screen looks like it have low resolution. Also the sun is easily getting in there making it hard to see. People are gonna be irritated with this car but i guess French do things like that on purpose with their cars :).
well smaller people put the steering wheel lower!
By the way. Good review as always! Soon 300k subscribers! Are you planning something special for that? :) Maybe a review of an older "special" car or a nice drive on a road with beautiful surroundings/view and car talk? I also request a video where you discuss new emission rules and the taxes in Europe. Here in Sweden we got a new rule this summer where new registered cars will cost a lot more now to own if they produce more emissions. Example for Hyundai I30N with 275Hp CO2 163 g/km before July we got to pay 140€/year in taxes but now after July this year we get to pay 590€/Year. The government want to force people to buy hybrids and all electric cars but the problem is that those cars cost a lot, and many manufacturers are not gonna be ready with "standard" EV:s in 2-4 years and the charger net is not build yet. I don´t know how other countries in EU look at this problem but here in Sweden buying newer car that is not a hybrid/EV and have a "fun" engine with more than 150Hp or something like that cost a lot just in taxes every year...That´s just bad :(. I don´t even want to know how much cars like Audi RS3 gonna go for. Probably more than 1000€ i taxes and 1000€ in insurance.
Is this car a reworked Opel/Vauxhall Insignia, Buick Regal, Holden Commodore with a french twist?
No, own PSA platform, and Opel vehicles will follow that one
Fully-equipped it cost as much as a Jaguar XF. Does it drive as well?
Hv a try :)
In Portugal we call it "quinhentos e oito", so five hundred and 8. But we called the Nokia most famous phone "trinta e três dez" (33-10) 🤔
True
the power trim is still a set back for Peugeot, need a better power set up for market out of Europe.
hardly see this car, does it sell?
Better than Passat
Fuck Passat!
I'll say it once again peugeot make the most glamorous interior! They let it down only by this screen tjat looks like it was a last minute decision to put one in. So tjeu just plonked it on. Make a swivel screen! Then when it's closed it can show on an e ink sxreen weather or time
