Peugeot 508 2020 review: Sportswagon

[@bill7481]

A seriously beautiful car!

[@midnight4109]

I would love to see this car sold in USA.

[@johncoulter8966]

midnight4109 PSA (owner of peugeot) has said they are returning to America in 2020. the thing stopping them is that the euro engines don’t pass US smog, and the steering wheels in many models don’t pass regulation because of the shape, after they figure out powertrains for america and install a more circular wheel they are coming here

[@F1Kamel_1992]

The latest generation 508 Touring is so composed in terms of handling, seriously good looking on the exterior and utterly comfy in the cabin.

[@ashb8508]

Love Pugs new design language...far better than the likes of Audi, BMW and VW, no wonder their doing so well in Europe

[@Crosshead1]

Why would anybody buy a box-on-wheels SUV when you could have this stylish bit of kit? Most people just don’t have a clue.

[@jeffchristie1541]

5008 and 3008 are not boxes on wheels my friend i have the 5008 because its easier to get in and out of as i have a medical condition at the moment but yeah the 508 is a sexy car but so are the 3008 and 5008

[@craigwillis3372]

Had a 508 wagon years ago...best car I have ever owned!!

[@icreativert9482]

I don’t know what’s with Wagons but I really love how they look!

[@MrSparklespring]

Peugeot is doing a mighty good job also in quality control. Better than a BMW for sure.

[@VC301000]

Oh, the shape of this car is beautiful.

[@tunedskillsz]

That interior is amazing!

[@blaisemasoka]

We can have this in the USA very soon since FCA and PSA merge as one company. I am so exited, can’t wait to have my hand on one of these 508

[@dufonrafal]

If by soon you mean almost 10 years…

[@MotorScotti]

[@dasrusse1030]

The older 2015 model with the facelift doesn't look bad too and really fulfills your needs

[@sr20trx]

This is the 2nd review I've seen where it's compared to an Octavia, when the car is more compatible in size and cost to the Superb.

[@mschopman]

Partially agree/disagree. I currently drive the Skoda Octavia and just ordered the Peugeot 508 SW (Allure Blue Lease, and some options, delivery Feb 2020) as my current leasing contract expires. On the outside they are somewhat comparable in size but inside the Octavia provides - by far - the most space.

[@meryuk]

Just wanted to say that. Octavia is in the golf class, though maybe trying to step out.

[@markpaterson6024]

@@mschopman well it’s 2 years on now Micha, did you get the vehicle and if so what do you think of it after driving for 2 years?

[@mschopman]

@@markpaterson6024 there are positives and negatives. Let me first start with the positives: + Handling is sublime. I can throw it around corners quite aggressively and you can feel the road without it becoming uncomfortable. On maximum speed in Germany at top speeds I never felt uncomfortable driving. + The dashboard concept is simply awesome and feels super natural. - The car entertainment is absolutely beyond horrible. Bluetooth b) The navigation is terrible. When driving through Italy it regularly was failing to recognize the roads; which can happen with construction work. But then it took more than 5 (!) minutes to recalculate a different route. That is not something you want to handle with an already annoyed wife sitting next to you. c) There is no easy way to turn of the sound of the navigation, other that permanently in the settings. d) In many occasions the positioning was off as well and I was driving the canal next to the road instead. e) I did not opt for more than the standard speakers, for a premium car, they sound horrible. It's the worst I have ever had in a car. f) This lack of calculating power also affects the parking sensors, which more than often react way too late. So you have to be extremely careful. luggage section

@@mschopman Hello 👋 Thank you for replying good sir, a lot can happen in 2 years on KZbin in that time. It looks like you had a very detailed report and what fitted was great, unfortunately there is a limit on the number of characters in comments and it got truncated. Bluetooth is not ideal for phone linking, plug in remains the better alternative for long periods, also cell coverage can be an issue like it is here in Australia. Thank you for your reply, I hope you and your family are doing ok in these crazy times good sir. 🙏

[@piob9801]

If I want something better than an SUV I would buy a Minivan. But the interior of this car looks really nice.

[@dinosaucers6704]

Wow two uploads in one day and week 4 with no mention of the tall husband

[@azmirahman6387]

I own a 2011 3008 THP and I enjoyed the frequent visits to service centers and workshops. I enjoyed paying for parts that cost similar or more than what BMW parts would cost. Ownership experience is 8.2/10!

[@garnray8568]

What a F stunning car ! So beautiful it's just insane

[@michaelb6729]

2021 Holden Commodore Sportswagon yes, you heard it here first. you're welcome !

[@unclebanga5976]

To me it's missing one thing, slightly bigger wheels, 19s or 20s and slightly wider tyres, that then fills the guards nicely and would make it look absolutely mint. But it's still a great looking wagon ..

[@jordanscarreviews6164]

I love the car.

[@tochukwuezinwa2122]

This is well grown-up car... which makes every other car on the road looks way too dull

[@alitekin5521]

Peugeot 508 aracım olduğu için Allah'a şükür. Teşekkürler. 🍀

[@luiwammes4193]

I'm sure the SW means Stationwagon and not Sportswagon. I have exactly the same car in the same color but as a hybrid. I switched it for my previous SUV Peugeot 5008. A car that gave me a continiously headache and after 8 years of daily driving a serious foot injury due to wrong ergonomic sitting in that SUV. This footinjury caused me to stop hard running and as a result I gained 15kg in weight in the last 3 years. Yes choosing a wrong car (SUV) can have many consequences. After driving this 508sw for the last 2 years I can give it 3 downers : - the booth is just too small for a family with one dog and one kid - the backseat only seats 2 people and only has 2 Isofix'es for childseats. (3 would have been the minimum for such a big car) - the roofline of the car is about 5 cm too low (yes yes design, I know)

[@BishrtalalZahreddin]

The car is very beautiful ... you too💖

[@ivankozacik4043]

Peugeot TOP 👍👌🇸🇰💞

[@Rosario19580]

Wicked vehicles I've got the 508 SW First Edition Peugeot are on the up but the only bug I have with Peugeot they only put two coats of colour on there vehicles now so customers are having issues with paint damage. DON'T BE TIGHT PEUGEOT OR YOU'LL PUSH YOURSELF OUT OF THE MARKET EVEN MORE.

[@vitalyromas6752]

You make nice reviews, but in this case, the music produces such a huge dissonance with the car.

[@bahaabakr7089]

Nice

[@motosnape]

That title.... Everything is better than an SUV.

[@tomgallagher4949]

Yeah, but it should be "a SUV!"

[@george2916]

Love the look of it, sleek and long. Two things I couldn't live with are the nauseating seat design and placement of instrument cluster in relation to the steering wheel. I'm not surprised you jacked the seat all the way up to be able to see over it. Why can't Peugeot sort out a better placement either for the wheel, or the gauges?

[@xanthuumnihyr5319]

Tbf it really depends on the driver. I personnally don't like the typical gages position because the top of the wheel obstructs the top of the dials.

[@DJGillman]

10 speakers. 👍🏻

[@gregwallace9035]

Beautiful looking car, I wonder what the reliability is like. Sister has a newish 308 and its already been through one engine.

[@bigchief2331]

Peugeot is one of the top brands for reliability, it took first place in UK recently. Bulletproof cars provided you service on schedule and top up the oil as they drink quite a lot. 308 is a great car in allure and gt spec, so much nicer than the boring alternatives which cost the same.

[@ashb8508]

Wife drives the current 3008 with no issues and the service guys are going over and above to add value to the brand. Expect big things

[@ln5747]

Their diesels are good and uses an Aisin automatic torque converter box so that will be fine

[@kendimen.c]

Not a single reference to the frameless doors! Unbelievable!

[@robcowdrey2611]

Why the 508 can ever be compared to terminally dull Skoda beats me.

[@peterkincaid6406]

FRENCH COMPANIES DO NOT PUT BONUSES IN GLOVE BOXES TO LATHER UP GOOD REPORTS !!! Started selling cars in 1968.. ALLWAYS told people ... Go look. 20 % either side of your budget ;;; Drive up your ROAD or similar !! If not happy v. Drive on bye bye

[@johnmiller5018]

love it. can't wait to see the 5-7 year review though as i can't afford to buy it brand new. Fingers crossed it will be as reliable as my 15 year old 407.

[@andrewd7586]

Great review but the comparison should be with the Skoda Superb wagon, not the smaller Octavia. Beautiful looking wagon but a tad underpowered. 👍🏼😎 Why “sheeple” follow the crowd re Stupidly Ugly Vehicles”, when you can have something like this is beyond me🤔💭

[@Soussmeboules]

@@stephendoherty8291 506 does not exist. I believe you means 508. 305 was built from 1977 to 1989. 308 is the actual one. Peugeot is quite exotic in Australia, but I think it's one of the oldest if not the oldest import car brand present in Australia.

[@sjb2471]

Stefan C the south of France and Spain where they sell by the hundreds of thousands get equally hot and they do OK there. C’mon people, things have moved on; French car reliability is no longer rubbish in the same way that Japanese cars are no longer as bulletproof as they once were. Peugeot and particularly Renault do really well in comparative reliability stakes nowadays; their issue in Australia is familiarity and reputation only.

The SUV has ALWAYS been marketing BS. The 'estate' car, or 'wagon' (whatever) has always spoken for itself and need justify to nobody. It's time many manufacturers got back to offering the format... and yes, I mean you Honda/Mazda (to name but a few). It would be nice if I could find a 508 to test drive here in the UK.
