Why buy a used Peugeot 508?

If a family SUV is too obvious a choice, why not consider a more traditional saloon or estate bodystyle, like you'll find in the used Peugeot 508 lineup. This model oozes kerb appeal with a long, low profile and dramatic styling that echoes the rest of the Peugeot range. You'll also find a cockpit-like driving position inside, as well as a modern design and attractive materials. There's a choice of smooth turbo petrol engines under the bonnet, or you can pick one of the plug-in-hybrid options to unlock better fuel economy and faster acceleration.

Owning a used Peugeot 508

A used Peugeot 508 should be very easy to get on with. Passenger space is respectable as long as you're not carrying tall adults in the back, and it goes down the road with more grace and sophistication than smaller cars in the brand's lineup. All versions are reasonably efficient, with the plug-in-hybrid models able to return extremely high average economy if you can charge at home or at work.

Other models you may be interested in

There isn't quite the selection of family saloons there once was, though you can still find obvious rivals like the Ford Mondeo, Volkswagen Passat, Mazda 6 and Skoda Superb on the used market. Ignoring the wealth of SUV options that many family buyers are now choosing, you could also look at cars like the Citroen C5 X, which straddle the line between estate and SUV.

Your Peugeot 508 questions answered

The Peugeot 508 is into its second generation. Originally, it was offered as a four-door saloon or a five-door estate, but the latest version swaps the saloon bootlid for a more versatile full-height tailgate – like the Volkswagen Arteon and Skoda Superb. An estate model is offered again, offering more boot space without sacrificing the 508’s bold styling. This 508 has been on sale since 2018.

The Peugeot 508 is a pretty long car – it actually takes up more road space than most of the brand’s SUVs and MPVs. The hatchback is 4.75m in length, with the 508 SW being slightly longer. In terms of height, it’s Peugeot’s lowest model – which really emphasises its length.

A Skoda Superb trumps the 508 for passenger and boot space, but the 508 still offers plenty of leg and knee room. Taller adults will probably find headroom in the back to be a little limited due to the sloping roofline, although that’s not the case in the estate.

The hatchback’s 487-litre boot is a good size, while the estate ups the ante with 530 litres of luggage space. There are a few clever touches inside, plus numerous storage cubbies throughout the cabin to hide your odds and ends.

To cater to as many buyers as possible, Peugeot offers the 508 with a choice of engines. There are petrol and diesel versions, plus faster petrols and plug-in hybrids. The vast majority come with Peugeot’s slick EAT8 automatic gearbox, which’ll change gears for you. Whether you’re plodding through urban traffic or driving on faster roads, that’ll be one less thing to worry about.

Peugeot's scores in reliability surveys are middling but have improved in recent years. It's a good idea to buy your 508 from a reputable retailer that will have inspected the car before selling it. All cars sold at Motorpoint are thoroughly inspected to make sure they meet our Quality Standard.

Adding an extended warranty to your purchase will cover you once the manufacturer's warranty runs out, protecting you from unexpected repair costs.

The 508 is a really nice car, which is handy when you consider that it could probably trade on its looks alone. Its high-tech and plush-feeling cabin help this saloon feel special, and the plug-in hybrid engines are especially nice for silently wafting through urban areas.

It might not match the Volkswagen Passat or Ford Mondeo for outright practicality, but it's close enough that the 508's handsome styling might be enough to persuade you over the extra inch-or-so of rear headroom and few litres of boot space.
