- There's nothing that says 'every car you'll ever need' quite like a fast estate car, and here are two of the best and the newest. Which means that as well as having engines, you can plug them in.
The newest is the 2021 Peugeot 508 SW Peugeot Sport Engineered (or as we've come to refer to it, the Peugeot 508 PSE). It makes its performance by having a 1.6-litre turbo petrol engine and small electric motor at the front, with four-wheel drive provided by an additional motor at the back.
It makes 355bhp in total, which is good for 0-62mph in 5.2 sec and a top speed of 155mph, while it has a zero-emissions range of 26 miles, officially returns 138.9mpg and has a CO2 output of 46g/km. It costs £54,000.
It meets one of the traditional players in the fast wagons sector, a BMW 330xe Touring, which costs a little less than the Peugeot, at £49,280.
The BMW has a 2.0-litre engine in the front, and that's where you find its electric motor, too - they can work independently or together. In total, they combine to produce 289bhp, which is enough for 0-62mph in 5.9sec and a top speed of 139mph. Officially it returns 176.6mpg and produces 41g/km of CO2.
Which, though, is the most compelling to drive? Join Matt Prior and James Disdale as they test the two back to back on the road, and decide which is the more alluring proposition.

Peugeot is gorgeous, reminds me of the Alfa 159SW.
The fluidity and progressive feel of cars is something so terribly underrated these days. By just focusing on the numbers and what people deem to be sporty, many cars have lost what it is just basically a nicely tuned chassis which will not break your back everyday but give you so much control over any form of road surface.
You are not driving everyday on track people!
Great to see the Beemer isn't the automatic choice. The Peugeot looks wonderful and would definitely cause me t consider it if I was in that market. I would have to try the I-cockpit first though.
Because the BMW is a class above. It's a premium brand and built for a completely different audience
Actually it is.
I cockpit actually really good....
The BMW looks foul. Like a genetic throwback to 2008.
The Peugeot looks stunning.
Bullshit lol, Peugeot looks like crap just like any other try hard french car company.
I just love Autocar's comparison videos...There's never a straight answer in the end.
Peugeot 508pse is a realizar premium car. It feels amazing inside, very premium and the materials are great.Although Peugeot is a semi premium brand that makes steps to be premium in the near future. Also this car is by far the most beautiful in the segment
The Peugeot is just such a brilliant looking car
Looks amazing
True but Plug in is bullshit
But 99% of the people will chose the bmw (I did)
@@francoispermentier7353 eww
As the even more left field choice, I'd still take the V60 T8/Polestar Engineered :D
Which is exactly what I did :)
In regards to the specs it seems they just simply messed up their DD and took the F30/F31 330e and not the G20/G21 330e... I would say that’s quite a massive mistake and makes this whole video a bit confusing
Ive never really thought about peugeot cars but this one in video looks absolutely gorgeous what a car 👌👌👍
I love the "premium brand" tag of BMWs, especially when you know their 3 and 1 series have used Peugeot-Ford-Volvo engines for ages. Jaguar also used Peugeot-Ford engines in their recent past. I am not sure premium means anything when your car is an assembly of parts from the competition.
Why Peugeot is not available in Canada. Such a good looking car and attractive price.
I own a BMW but love that Peugeot - one to buy in 3 years time as I suspect the residuals will be awful like most large, niche French cars
Why does the 330e get a smaller battery in England? or have you been looking at the data for the F30 model? ;-)
You are right, 7,6 kwh battery is the F30’s specs. The G20 330e has 12 kwh battery and more eletric range than 18 miles.
This mistake makes this whole video unreliable and pointless
The in-car footage in the Beamer is shocking quality.
What's the name of the song that begins @13:44 till the end of the video...
One you respect, one you lust after
handsome looking cars..i wish these were sold here in India
Does Wayland Yutani Corp sponsor this video?
I enjoyed watching the Video Comparison. The BMW Is my favourite 🤩
I want the Weyland-Yutani corp shirt
I find it annoying that pretty much all car journalists constantly trying to find hard plastic!
A lot of comments here about the high price of the Peugeot. Yet you can spend over £70k on a 3 series. lol.
Ah, but you say, on a £70k M3, BMW remove lots of cheap bits and put more expensive ones on. What do you think Peugeot have done with this 508?
Peugeot looks way better
Not at all. The BMW looks premium (what it is)
Would like to see a drag. I got a 2021 330e xdrive touring that does 0-100 in 5,2. Its quicker than claimed. The xdrive works very well in wet and snow. The adaptiv susp and weight balance makes it a very good car to drive. It also runs perfect without any issues. Can that be said about the Peugeot in 3-5 years? What about rest value and 2nd hand marked. BMW for me.
They used the data of the F30/F31 and not the G20/G21. I guess you have a G21
@@dezsijanos yes there are something strange about this video. When they talk in the beginning they say 249 bhp, later the screen says 289. The car they review got 289 or 292. Also the 0-100 they are talkin about is wrong. So it seams they are mixing data from the new and old 330e. The new got a boost function that the old doesent. So I think a drag between these two cars would be close. When it comes to these hybrid cars you cannot always look at the paper because they are so different set up by the factory and BMW is always claiming less than the car gives.
Peugeot for me, BMW looks tired compared with the Pug. Given that the Peugeot still drives great too seals the deal.
@@gregrobins5615 thats nice. The Peugeot looks and drives great. Just dont make the choice based on this video because they are mixing data from the old 330e which is a huge error. The old 330 got a 7,6 kw battery but the new got a 12 kw battery that gives it longer range and better performance. The BMW also got a way better second hand marked. Mine 330e got adaptive susp, stock performance tyres (not run flat) and full Msport and the handling is awesome. You cant feel the xtra weight at all. So this video just gives the half picture. But yes, just based on the looks I can understand Peugeot fans. It looks really good this 508!
@@14Tommere Thanks for the information Peter, I am waiting to see if the 508 gets to Oz and how much ?
Seeing the comments... Damn, people still thinks german brands are "premium" ? Same amount of plastic in a BMW or a Peugeot these days, while the peugeot has a better price for the options compared to a bmw
I'm looking for my next car, and for the same price in second hand, I can either have a 2019 508 with adapt suspensions, 230hp, full options, alcanatara electric massage heated seats, or a 2016 audi a5 with a few options, 170hp max, no digital dials, tiny ugly screen and tissue seats?
You guys need to make up your mind about the "premium" myth of german cars, Peugeot is clearly owning it lately
That's true premium brands generation after generation are using the same rigid plastic in some parts of the interiors. Maybe only the 3series have some advantage in this case but if we go check 1 series they are even worse that 308 last gen. Even the glovebox of the 308 is better finished.
Why no one touch the door plastics on these premium brands and they have that too? We have been brain washed by press about the real quality of cars.
👍
For God sake, how much longer are car journalists going to go on about plastics not up to scratch. And that tap on the door card to prove it is so annoying. They all do that stupid tap. I've sat in the 508 and didn't go around thinking it was not a 54k car. Maybe I should have tapped the plastics more.
Extremely irrelevant to consumers, but a track comparison would be fun to see.
I have a BMW X5 and I also have a Peugeot partner, guess which one gives me trouble.
Next video: Matt Prior feat Matt Watson :-)
SW is a sharp-looking thing. Brits will default to the BMW of course but if I had the cash I’d take the 508
I don’t really get your 0-60 time for the bmw - you are the first to give a 0-60 over 6 secs that I’ve seen. Most reviews show anything from 5.2-5.9 secs - weird
Why can't they sit in the same car at the same time just yet?
Covid?
The Peugeot is beautiful and conversely the BMW is hideous
18 miles from BMW ?? Really? Seems like a biased opinion
The puegot looks better. Never thought I'd say that
Too expensive and you get only Peugeot at the end of the dsy and for 3-4 years walue of it will go down on tge level as some ordinary used Škoda Octavia
BMWs for me are not reliable... For the past 8 years Peugeot has improved so much, since the old 208 and underrated 308GTI... I'll go for the 508pse
Is just different
bmv 😏
Peugeot🟩
I've seen this Peugeot in the flesh and it looks great but 54K for a Peugeot? no way can you compare it to a BMW Mercedes or Audi, Peugeots just aren't in the same class. Also this Peugeot is from the sport division whereas the BMW is not, for that you need the M340i Touring. I don't see many people cross shopping these two brands.
How come? BMW is basically mainstream these days. The myth of premium.
@@alfamonk absolutely, a long way from the ultimate driving machine days
@@alfamonk Sure BMW sells a lot of cars these days but selling a large numbers cars doesn't make the brand any less premium or prestigious! Fact is that BMW alongside Mercedes Audi who all incidentally sell a similar number of cars are premium prestige brands as is Lexus and perhaps to a lesser extent Volvo, whereas Peugeot Vauxhall / Opel Ford Citroen Toyota Honda Kia Hyundai etc. are not. There is no myth surrounding premium the fact is BMW is premium!
@@morri03 Might be a long way from the ultimate driving machine (although they still do make some of the best drivers cars out there) but they are still a prestige / premium brand you can't compare them to Ford Opel Citroen Peugeot etc. To think otherwise you are deluded.
@@joebloggs4191 there’s no fact about it, it’s a marketing construct. Is ‘premium’ pricing? Is it soft-touch plastics? Is it reliability? BMW JD power rating is piss-poor, so is premium having a car with a nice badge that breaks down?
My 330e F30 gaps that Peugeot with ease lmao
Почему такие машины не везут к нам? Особенно BMW!
60k for a pug the world has gone mad 😂
This is so ridiculous...
54k for a car fitted with one of the worst 4cyl petrol engines of modern times, Good Luck with that 😱.
"the worst 4cyl petrol engines of modern times" - You made that up in your head...
The Peugeot… is the brand still as bad it used to be 5 years ago? All the French cars tend to be more or less junk…
They have improved a lot but yeah they still have their issues.
i could say all german cars for the last 10 years are even more junk just a perception of so called premium quality that certainly breaks more than peugeots in general with the exception of Porsches
@@stefanodeanjou8732 In my experience Peugeots break just as much as the Germans, actually in my experience of owning BMWs for over 25 years is that they have been pretty reliable! And there is no perception of premium they are premium in their build quality way more so than Peugeots. Bentleys Aston Martin Ferraris etc, none are truly reliable yet are you going to go around saying they aren't premium / prestige? But hey if reliability is the most important criteria to you when shopping around for a car best to head straight to your Toyota / Lexus Honda or Mazda dealership. In your words everything else is junk!
@@joebloggs4191 actually I own a Peugeot have owned 6 drive Toyotas, Mitsubishis' ,Isuzus for work. All I am saying Peugeots of the last 5 years are not bad in general. fun fact just this year they were rated by JD Power as the most reliable brand in Europe beating out even Toyota for top reliable model. sure you are going to find some that break but that goes for every last brand I could give you nightmare stories of Toyota and Honda owners of their cars of recent times (I find a lot of Toyota Owners are little less than honest with how much problems they actually have with their vehicles) fun fact again PSA's owned company Faceria makes the interiors for BMW Audi And Mercs
@@joebloggs4191 and by the way Automotive Journalists are some of the most biased reporters around so many times I see them criticize a brand for one thing and then praise another brand for exactly the same thing( like scratchy plastics down below leg room in the back etc) yeah I know we weren't talking about that but it came to my mind
All the specs of the bmw u're giving are the specs of older model f30 340e. Pointless video. The g21 330e is a overall better car then peugeot 508 hybrid
Imagine choosing the Peugeot for the BMW.. Then you can as well quit your job
Buy a Volvo…
Peugeot will be worth 3p in a week that’s why people buy bmw or any other German car and the fact it’s built properly.
i aint no BMW fanboy, but its a bit of an insult to compare a BMW to a Peugeot lol
The Peugeot is a very handsome car but what trendy idiot thought those hideous yellow accents below the front grille, were a good idea?
its true you can't compare a peugeot with a bmw especially the driving experience but those yellow accents are pretty nice actually
French cars sucks bauguett
Getting famous off of comments day 334, so I can live the dream, live every day like it’s your last🤙
