2019 Peugeot 508 Review - Finally! New Motoring
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ต.ค. 2024
- Finally, the all new 2019 Peugeot 508. The old 508 saloon has felt tired for a while now, especially since Peugeot introduced the 3008 and 5008. But now, with a new platform, new engines, new gearboxes, new design, new everything, the new 508 is a car that finally feels fresh!
Note! We got two things wrong... The HDi 160 is also a 2.0 litre, and therefore weighs 1,530kg while the HDi 180 weighs 1,535kg. Peugeot have also said there is a manual mode, although it's no longer on the gear selector as it is in the 3008/5008.

Unbelievable to see how much better Peugeots are today in comparison to what you could get 10 years ago
Here is one of the rare non biased French car review made by a british youtuber. Thank you for that. You get another new subscriber :)
I really hope Peugeot start to sell more now. There design both inside and out is spot on.
Agreed. Interiors are 👌
Peugeot regained its groove since the new 3008.....waiting the 508 and the very least a 208 in Honda Fit price tag here....
Hello, I did like your review pointing out the good, the not so good and what's to improve. No car is perfect and there is always room for improvement, even for a well-built and well-designed car like the Peugeot 508. And what I also like is that you reviewed the car honestly but, unlike another active reviewer on TH-cam, you did not indulge into some kind of French bashing and I commend you for that! You earned a new subscriber, thanks!
Hello, and thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. No need to French bash - wherever a car comes from, if it's good it's good, if it's bad it's bad. Thank you for subscribing! SW
@@newmotoringSir, is that car Metal Black or Dark Metal Blue?
Wonderful car. Peugeot is back in the D segment again. I can speak from more than 4 years of own experience with the i cockpit and say that the seating position is perfect. The i cockpit works almost like a head up display.
I personally think it was a good decision to offer all models of the 508 only with automatic gearbox except the smallest diesel.
The cockpit in the 508 looks so good. The same is true with the outside design.
Good review as always!
one of my gripe with this car is that the roof is too low for mid to tall people in the back, along with the fact that in order to look outside in the rear seat, you have to physically lower your head, not just move it left or rigth. That is rather problematic for taxis or car with chauffeur. Will see if the SW version solves those problem.
tinatpasselepoivre Yes, I agree. This is one of the downsides of the coupe look. Let' s see how this will work out. I would probably go for the SW anyway. Or for the all new 308 SW which will be launched in 2020. I am not a friend of cars that sacrifice too much practicality for styling in general. Hopefully Peugeot has not gone too far in that direction. They probably would argue they had the 5008 for people who need space in the back seat.
I wish this car was in the US I'd buy it in a split second. It's very beautiful 😍
I' m bought my 4x 508. The second new version of the 508. What a car. Always looking forward to make a trip in this car. Love it.
Great review. A gorgeous car and definitely very upmarket interior. While I drive a SUV/crossover I predict that saloons and estates will be on the rise again. I'm currently thinking of one myself!
I seriously do not understand most SUV's. They are not for off road driving and have no real sports aspect to them. They are large and give a high driving position but that is about it. All my SUV's are for off roading.
Cheers, you're quite right. I only drive one as its easier to get in and out of due to a bad back. Apart from that they have few additional benefits for city dwellers. And as there are so many on the road, its no longer an advantage to be higher up - you can even miss smaller cars in the mirror. But worst of all they are very expensive to buy and run compared to the hatches they are based on, such as the Seat Leon and Ateca. I'm now hankering for a saloon again :-)
Probably the last year for the rise of SUV, the sedans will come back for sure. We have an old 407 and new 2008 in the family. This 508 looks like an absolute winner for PSA...
You're a real Peugeot fan for sure. I must buy a saloon or estate before they catch on (again) and prices go up!
I live in Spain, the prices are really competitive here... The cars are produced here...
Great review ! However, if you mention build quality issues, you should give examples because it doesn't make sense otherwise. You sounded like "it has build quality issues because it's not german"
smart review, very well done.
tired of people trashing other cars because it can't do 0-62 in 3 secs.
this car is well designed and the interior feels cozy.
Thanks Potato. It would be great if it did (a sleeper 508!), but that's not what it's made for. It's a marked improvement over its predecessor.
I think it looks fabulous both outside and inside. Very nostalgic from Pugs from the 80ies and 90ies, particularly the 405 but modernized of course!
Peugeot mentioned the 504 a lot in the run up to the launch, actually. The '508' badge on the bonnet is a hat-tip to the 504, too.
Very good review , congratulations ! 👊
Car looks so dam fresh ! 😎
Cheers George! SW
Good job man!I like your video stile; dynamic and smart. I'm waiting for my new 508. It will arrive on november or december... I'm so nervous!!
Thanks Edgar! Really appreciate it. What spec have you gone for? SW
My order is a 2.0 BlueHdi 160 cv automatic. My first automatic car...
You picked a nice looking car. Enjoy.
Nice review I'm driving the new 308 and it's a good car compared with a Peugeot from 10 years ago. Handling and styling improved and I'm actually quite happy to drive one.
Ah, the new 307 is a brilliant car. How long have you had it?
wow, the design... I am speechless
Like it?
yeah, absolutely love it!
I will when available. I have a 3008 GT and I'm very happy with it.
Good choice! 3008 is brilliant.
Sean, nice one! Just discovering your vids and I really like them. You're great on camera. Was hoping for some kiwis in the vid mind!
Thank you Rachel! Kind words! All the swearing/crashing/fruit is edited out... (Stop mentioning the kiwis, I'm trying to lie low!)
Hey mate, new to your channel. Good job man, refreshing, concise and unbiased so far... keep up the good work, you got a new follower ;)
Another great review. I like the Exterior and Interior particularly the Front Grille and Lights
Thanks Jamie!
Fair and balanced review especially coming from a British guy about a French car.
Excellent review. On point and pleasantly neutral. Would like to acquire that car myself when it comes on sale towards the end of the year. At most the beginning of the next one.
I have the 508 First edition, Full manual is possible, you simply go into driving modes, sport , comfort, eco, and Manual. this gives you full control over your paddles.
Don’t why when I look from the back of this 508 I feel a hint of 504 , was very nice & unique .
Wow i'm so proud to be french thank's Peugeot thank's to you To present this car
Great video, it was a nice location apart from getting lost a couple of times!
Agreed... Completely lost track of the route. Not ideal when you're 100km away from your hotel and have a flight to catch!
not big fan of Peugeot but this car is pretty good looking
Great review for great car..u get new subcriber from Malaysia..
Great review !
This car looks great. I'm waiting to be able to drive one .... maybe my next car
Thanks Joao! Take one for a test drive?
This 508 manages to look elegant and aggressive very well in my opinion.. Hope it drives and rides good when it's launched in the UK soon..
We'll drive it in the UK in the next few months, so we'll let you know!
A 4 door French bliss this car is.
Links back visually to the 504 and 505, the best Peugeot’s ever!
Yep! I really like the '508' badge on the bonnet.
The 508 looks just superb!, so pure and so modern ! Love it. The styling reminds me of the e-Legend concept car- or is it just me !? The only dealbreaker is that I just cant handle that tiny rectangular steering wheel !
Ooh la-la! Looks like a French Chevrolet Impala up front. I like its looks. -someone from North America
I agree that new 508 looks superb! But I cannot agree that old 508 looks tired - I'm talking about facelift version. They did well job with facelifting the old 508. I think it will look nice and fresh for few years.
New 508 has modern dash with lcd displays which is trendy at this moment. However the buttons under the satnav aren't so pretty. Old 508 has nice classic look dash with very pretty and nice dials. The perfect car for me would 508 with new exterior but with old interior :).
In next generation of 508 you probably won't get manual gearbox and I don't see the reason why would you even want manual gearbox in such car :) ?
wsk3184 I liked the outgoing model phase 1 front lights more than the second's. I hope i can get one cheap now that this new one is coming
Particular in this colour, it looks very classy.. welcome back Peugeot. It was about f***ing time..! 😁
Do you know which colour it is? Dark blue? Celebes blue?
Lovely car, great review 👍
Thank you!
This is gorgeous looking car. It could be my dream car to own
Smart review once again man
Thank you! SW
Peugeot 508 aracım olduğu için Allah'a şükür. Teşekkürler. 🍀
I believe it will keep a downshifted by the paddles ratio as long as you are touching the brakes even in automatic mode. Atleast , that is my experience with the 3008 6speed automatic.
Great car, I wish Peugeot comes back to the US.
fantastic review great style concise and to the point ... a lot of other channels could learn from you
Thank you very much 😊 Really appreciate it.
Nice car I ll soon buy one ! What I miss from all vidéos is images on which we could see each available colour including under Bright sun conditions as colours may heavily change under these conditions especialy the blue one Thank you for your interestîng vidéo From France Thierry
Keep it up. Good review!
Thank you Terry!
Great review. Nice to see a new saloon, rather than a crossover or SUV. Smart and well designed. I think for that money though, I'd be looking elsewhere.
Thank you! And thanks for commenting once again. Yep, exactly - saloons are just cooler. What would you go for then?
Well, I'm a lot older than you (and you'll probably roll your eyes), but a Lexus IS300h is my dream car. That's because I'm a light-footed old fart. But I do really like this car, and I'm grateful to Pug for making an attractive, classy saloon. I liked your observation of the automatic gearbox - long gearing would probably suit a sedate driver like me. Keep up the great work, Seán.
I think Peugeot need to rethink of that 1.6 engines, here in middle east because of the hot weather we really prefer the naturally aspirated engins, so if that 508 got 2.2 liters with 185 horse power it would smash our markets and sell like crazy
Never going to happen, unfortunately for you. Turbos are the way forward for most.
Beautiful car. I hope they sell it in South Africa some day.
Paul Roux They sold the 508 in the past here but then removed it from the market due to poor sales. This happens often in SA where people will rather spend a bit more to get a C, 3 or A4. Ford also removed the Fusion from our market and Mazda removed the Mazda 6. These cars are too expensive in our market because no one will buy one when you can get a German sedan for not much more with cheaper monthly payments through their financing lease like packages. Also, Peugeot's presence is just not good enough. Barely enough dealerships. They just don't seem committed to our market. Look at how well Renault is doing. And part of that reason is that Renault also sells the Kwid and Sandero here which have given their sales and reputation a massive boost. Coupled with 5 year 120000km warranties across their range and a pretty good dealer network and people will buy. Peugeot's cheapest car here is over R200,000. They don't have a cheap car to compete with the Kwid and Sandero and that doesn't help them at all. They also refuse to extend their warranties. I know of 2 people who chose a Renault or Hyundai over a Peugeot they looked at because Peugeot was offering a pathetic 3 year warranty while Hyundai and Renault was doing 5 years. Then they bring the new 3008 in starting at a catastrophically high price compared to a Rav4 and others etc. Yes it has way more features and is extremely well made. But how do they expect to get a hold in our market when they price like this? Not to mention lesser warranties and an almost non existent dealership network. We have a 2 litre diesel 3008. Only 50,000kms. They offered us such a pathetic trade in value we just can't get the new one. So they too are not even interested in assisting Peugeot owners themselves. They barely sell any cars it seems. And It's their own fault. The product is great but Peugeot SA is just not stepping up. The new 3008 diesel doesn't even come well specced compared to the previous one like we have. Meaning that getting the new diesel will be a downgrade in features. Peugeot literally leaves no choice but to go to another brand. They are losing customers and loyal fans. We have been with them for 12 years. Don't know how much longer we can take. Very sad because their vehicles are simply excellent and far far better than the equivalent Hyundai (which always feels cheap and nasty) and Renault (which rattles off the showroom floor).
We have some good deals on the previous (outgoing) 508, and thankfully the new 3008 made it to our shores. The entire Citroën range has been discontinued.
Peugeot cars won't sell here in America because we don't want to buy cars but if Peugeot bought vehicles like the 3008 over here I think they would be pretty competitive in the American market.
With Trump, no way :))
Solid review! Keep it up!
Thank you!
I think it need more power or to make a sporty version with 300 hourse power and above .. but the prices should be reasonable.
If they decide they will make a GTi version,
It should better AWD and 300+hp
Good review. Love the car
I don’t know but that steering is too small
and too many things going on it and you might accidentally press certain buttons. It looks great though and the luxury and attention to details makes it a buy to consider
i like the 601 Peugeot !
I see my leg at 2:35 ish, do I get any royalties?
The review would be much better with more pictures of the car.
Considering the typical depreciation and everyone buying SUVs, why such interest. As likely to sell well as the Mondeo, Vectra. Best selling saloon is now the 320D or 520D and even then...
Hi im from the US how much tweaking can you do to one of those?
Nice design, but have to feel it to appreciate it. The diesel appears to be underpowered. The outgoing 508 is still a great car, love it, better drive than any of the Japanese ,i like it better than passat b8
Take one for a test drive. I'm interested to try the 225 petrol. A bit of extra power is always welcome!
Check the moose test of this car vs the german competition and you realise the superiority of this make
You are right. All new VAG cars failed in moose test and all Peugeot cars it passed perfectly.
The gti version needs to use a 3.2lt AWD 360bhp that will be great 😂
It starts at £25000.00 only problem is the insignia starts at £17000.00
Np! They belong to the same company now, go ahead and buy one or both
Peugeot's interior is much more interesting though. Depends what you're willing to pay for really.
To get an opal/vauxhall with the same quality as the 508 you will more or less need to pay the same money.
Yes , but the Insignia is a lot of shit!
I have a question for you: What colour do you think suits the 508 the most? I hadn't seen yet the colour of the car you drove. Is it some kind of green? I am not sure the red is my favourite colour for the 508... I like the grey the most so far (maybe white too). What do you think?
I think red is the best colour in all honest, although we didn't see all of the colours. I'll check the name of the colour our car had and get back to you. It masked some of the car's features I think. The white also looked very good to be fair!
Thank you for your reply. Seeing the car in the flesh sometimes makes you change your mind!
NewMotoring do you know what colour the car was in your review?
NewMotoring can you tell which colour it is in the video?
Loving the new design style. Why oh why do they have diesels in the lineup??? Diesels are dead.
Paul Browne No they are not. Especially this one is one of the best Diesel engine ever made. Superb engine for long distances. Soft, quiet and strong in low/mid revs. This engine is also very clean and reliable and easy to repair.
How can he see a road from down there ?
It is the same floor pan/chassis as the new Insignia
Fandango Lolo
Not thrue. The platform of the current Insignia his completely different from the EMP2 platform of Peugeot-Citroën. In the future surely Opel will use the Peugeot platforms, (in fact the new Grandland uses it), but not the current Insignia, born when Opel was General Motors
It has a manual mode, the 160 diesel is a 2.0 like the 180. Otherwise, good review
You're right, sorry. 160 is also a 2.0 litre, and therefore weighs 1,530kg and the 180 weighs 1,535kg. And Peugeot have said there is a manual mode although it's no longer on the gear selector as it is in the 3008/5008. Thanks for the heads up!
NewMotoring You can have “M” mode in gear selector if you don’t order fully automatic parking system:-) otherwise you have to set it through the mode selector.
Finally, in English!
Ha! Have you only found non-English reviews so far?
Well they are usually in Dutch, French, Italian...For instance, Carwov, WhatCar and others, still didn't make video about new 508.
You related to Stephen Tries?? 😂
Super car
It's very quiet. Hardly any engine, wind, or road noise.
A little bit of road noise, but for the most part it is very quiet.
Is it only me or it looks like he is flying 200 km/h while talking
That's a bit disappointing that there's no manual mode, isn't it? I think it works very well in 308.
It has a manual gearbox on the 130hp version.
tomasmalin there is manual mode. He was wrong.
If higher revs make it lose power isn't that pointless? I was thinking of a diesel.
PHILIP BUTOYI typically diesels are best in middle revs. This one is very strong in low/med revs. In 2000rpms you have around 120hp and in 2500 revs around 150hp and full 400nm. So you can drive easy, quietly and smoothly without screaming engine in 5000 and more revs. This is not naturally aspirated petrol engine.
Why not park the car and show us around it?
the 160hp diesel has 2.0 not 1,5l
Sir which is the country of manufacturing this vehicle..
Look it up!
(France)
And China ….
Magnifique...
Nobody want a manual gear box we are in 2018 . What is wrong with you?:))
Does someone know the color of the peugeot 508 in the video? Is this dark blue or the blue celebes?
I think it is the dark blue. The other blue (celebes) is like this. th-cam.com/video/aLMVoGLXyPQ/w-d-xo.html
Can someone confirm the colour?
@@sandersienaert1545 This is the color dark blue, I got the car in the same color :)
Sure fire
WIR überwinden,
needless comments please!!! This is a work of engineering and art.
It’s talents we must praise and not skin color!!!
Not yet in ASEAN countries
what is it means with 508,3008...?
Those are other Peugeot types.
same as like honda clarity
You have drive modes! In one of the mode is manual! Please explore the car before during the review!!!
Dude your to close on the dashboard stretch your arms till tour wrists touch the steering wheel!!!!!
really beautiful car, but peugeot needs to work on the infotainment and especially on the voice control, it is so terrible to use, and the voice assistant understands barley nothin. would be a shame, if peugeot d only concentrate on design...
The tricky part is adjusting the radio or AC on the move because the controls aren't physical buttons, but everything is done through the central screen instead.
NewMotoring if they would implement a voice control like audi, bmw or mercedes in the new a-class it would not be a problem at all
Diesels are great sadly the petrol is the BMW EP troublesome one. Peugeot should have got rid of that but a beautiful car burdened with a crappy engine. I worked for Citroen and know what I'm talking about.
Maybe they solved all problems with this engine already, but I still don’t believe it and I ordered HDI version.
Could be a real alternative and is a nice looking car, but that stupid instrument/steering wheel layout is just annoying.
The smaller wheel isn't my favourite... You get used to it, but I'd rather it was a normal sized wheel.
I see, all that Chinese money has been put to good use.
Why are you talking about the car and 90% of the time you are showing your face in the video?
As explained in another comment, because we didn't have much time. Road closures and traffic meant we didn't have as much time to film as normal!
Mostly we watched the face of reviewer instead of cockpit or highway . Anyone mean it?
Sorry pal, but when we've got limited time with a car and it's cut short because of road closures we've just got to crack on and capture as much as we can. Hopefully you still enjoyed what was there.
🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒
We don’t wana see his driving.
Oh. Sad times.
Zzzzz... too much talking
I'll do a silent review next time. 🙊
NewMotoring 😂👍
Exterior is really ugly interior is nice. But there is mondeo and passat. It still cant compete with them.
Exterior is ugly? Genuinely the first time I've heard that.
Apollo00 z should have gone to Specsavers
not ugly, just different from the boring 'lets play it safe' norm
Mondeo looks like a fat american 70 year old , ugly as hell , interior full of cheep plastic. Passat is.....is.....yeah , for those who eat german shit for breakfast , so they go crazy =))))))
lde2100 clearly you have never been in a mondeo :) . Peugeots interior parts start squeking after 6 months. Look is not everything. For real car people driving characteristics, handling is much more important. Fancy interior and exteriors means nothing.
Boring FWD.
buy a 200 + hp petrol Giulia then
Iam wery interested to buy the Veloce. But i must say it looks good the Peugeot.
after 60k km,this 508 will fall apart and nothing will work.nice car though but don't be fooled.cheers
Peugeot have said they've worked hard to improve the quality... I'll guess we'll find out in 60,000km!
60..80..100k km..one way or the other,it will fall apart..like a broken leaf.
gad abdat my dad has the new 308 and still drives after 184.000km.
I own a Citroen C5 from 2011. 260000 km's on it , still runs like in the first day. So wtf are we talking about here mister??
gad abdat bullshit. This HDI can do 300 000 miles without problems.
Interiors made by the Germans so its solid inside these new cars. I love the styling of the new pugs
Styling is epic! Still built in France, though.
The king of dirty the south bro
By Germans? Interior is made by Faurecia, which is a French company with majority sharehold by Peugeot. Faurecia makes interiors for all your 'premium' German brands that lose 90% of their value when guarantee dies lol. Nice try though, I love when people spout shit for no reason like you.
Mh, not really. Most of german interiors are made by french manufacturers actually. Faurecia, Valeo, Plastic Omnium, Michelin are world leaders
Starting from 33K EUR! For a Peugeot? LOOL NO WAY! Also the front is FUGLY.
33K EUR for a Peugeot that offers the same technologies (night vision, semi-autonomous driving...) and confort (piloted suspension, double glazed glass, massaging, heated and cooled seats.....) as a German car but is a lot more beautiful and interesting and costs 10K EUR less....just think about it
LOL NO. The car is super ugly, something a 10Y old would design. Renault ruined the Talisman with those Mike Tyson lights and Peugeot did the same. WTF hehehe.
French car designers are considered the best in the world for years .... they work with all major car manufacturers. And Peugeot cars were very often elected European cars of the year !!
literally every car manufacturer uses large strips of LEDs that are used to mark a style ....just look at mercedes, volvo,jaguar, range rover, bmw, the rear of the new audis.....peugeot (as renault) is just more original and inovative design-wise .
it's just your opinion, not a fact.
LOL that was so funny, u speak like from some ad. Dude, just check how often u see a Renault Talisman and a Passat. You can easy see that ppl dont buy this ugly crap. Also the 5th trunk door made out of plastic on 3008, NICE! The price is ridiculous! Old 508 starting at 23K and new at 33K. LOL. Yes, I buy rather a cheaper passat or facelifted mazda 6(thats a beautiful car btw).
