Peugeot 508 SW Estate 2019 GT Line Review and Road Test

[@mattsbeamer]

This car is probably my favourite Peugeot out at the moment. It really looks the part inside and out. Quite cheap in today’s price range. Thou I remember back in the day my dad old 94 540i touring was about the same. Id love to have a look at once if these

[@PlanetautoUK]

We’d have to agree with this looking extremely good, it’s also very premium and deserving of its price tag. *ben

Good video for a very sexy car ! Wishing many brits will buy it ! From France Terry who owns one and loves it 🤗

[@PlanetautoUK]

Thank you, congrats on a fine French car, this should certainly appeal to lots *ben

I've previously had the 406sw and two 407sw .. the 508sw seems more of a Shooting Brake in design

[@PlanetautoUK]

Yes, spot on - it looks sooo good DJ

Great review guys. lovely looking cars these 508's. That a 1.5 130 diesel can haul a big car like that around, still drive OK and return 50mpg reminds me that it's such a shame that diesel has been wrongly demonized. Other thoughts: 1. Those wheels are insane 2. £38k is about £10k too much

[@PlanetautoUK]

Thank you, yes diesel is a taboo word and It’s quite crazy how far wheels have come on cars straight from the manufacturer and Infotainment too. *ben

[@CO2Hardware]

@@PlanetautoUK indeed, these wheels have come all the way from France 😂

[@PlanetautoUK]

Ian Harding very true that and the C5

[@IonaCarr]

My 2018 67-plate 308 frustrates me because I can not listen to radio etc. with engine off. ECO mode turns off the electric after relatively few minutes. Is this 508 any better? I really don't like sitting in the car having my snack or whatever with the engine running.

[@PlanetautoUK]

I’ve noticed this with a few manufacturers nowadays, I think they’re all very similar Brendan, thank you - but I will check, this was a while ago

[@IonaCarr]

@@PlanetautoUK I will be interested to know, thanks.

[@podge5555]

Does the Sport mode make much of a difference to the performance of that 1.5 engine?

[@PlanetautoUK]

It adds a punchy element, a bit more responsive, but not the way the 225bhp one does, thank you Podge

[@podge5555]

@@PlanetautoUK thanks for that guys. Unfortunately the other Diesel engines in the 508 are available here anymore

[@PlanetautoUK]

You’re welcome, No, pretty much every manufacturer has dropped diesel or is doing over the next year, bar pickups and SUVs -

[@podge5555]

@@PlanetautoUK unfortunately I still need a diesel as I cover about 1000kms a week so electric is not practical for me atm

[@PlanetautoUK]

@@podge5555 this is the case with a lot of people, it’ll be a while until the kind of ranges you require and speed of charge aren’t the higher end of the price bracket.

One of the best looking estate cars and I really like my estate cars,but a Peugeot badge 🙄 🙄🙄

[@PlanetautoUK]

Have you driven it yet?

[@sticksman7819]

@@PlanetautoUK I haven't but my girlfriend and I have been looking at SUVs but the roads are saturated with them.As far as estates go and owning 2 Volvo's over the course of 10 years I like the V60/V90, Passat R Line, Superb Sport and the GT line 508SW.I should consider it but it's the badge that does put me off.

[@PlanetautoUK]

justin small reserve judgement till you drive it... SUVs certainly are the weapon of choice and now hybrid or ev ones.

[@ln5747]

Only idiots care about badges.
