Peugeot presents this Friday the redesigned version of the 508. Launched in 2018, this second generation of the great saloon stands out for taking up the large grill of the new Peugeot 308. The headlights have also been redesigned, going from a large saber-tooth fire with three small claw-shaped fires.
This LED lighting signature is also found in the taillights, which have also been redesigned. The lower part of the grill has also been revised with a large air intake.
New also in the cabin.
Another big change is found in the cabin with the new Peugeot i-cockpit equipped with the new i-Connect Advanced system. The steering wheel adopts the new shield in its center and just behind it is placed a 12-inch digital handset. In the center of the dashboard, a 10-inch touch screen is installed, still with the famous piano keys, characteristic of Peugeot design.
New engines are also under the hood: a 180-horsepower plug-in hybrid (150-horsepower PureTech gasoline engine and 81 kW electric motor) and a 225-horsepower version (180-horsepower PureTech gasoline engine and 81 kW electric motor). Both are mated to an eEAT8 automatic transmission and are available with two-wheel drive.

The four-wheel drive version is found in the PSE (Peugeot Sport Engineered) version.
Peugeot therefore confirms this top-of-the-range sports version, which for a while seemed under threat, here with a 360 horsepower engine consisting of a 200 horsepower PureTech gasoline engine, an 81 kW electric motor at the front and an 83 kW electric motor. in the back.
This new Peugeot 508 will go on sale in June. This model is made in France at the Mulhouse factory.
