The Peugeot 508 has seductive looks and first-class content. Excellent interior quality and good driving dynamics, sporty without sacrificing comfort. Only rear passengers may need a few extra inches for their head. Thus, the GT version is fully equipped and thanks to the 180 hp BlueHDi diesel engine. in combination with the EAT 8 automatic transmission, it also has good performance. The price is not low, but the equipment is rich, even if, if you wish, you can be satisfied with an intermediate one and an engine with a capacity of 160 hp.
La Peugeot 508 it is a car that stands out. If the old model was shy and nondescript, it gave the impression of his gym twin. The Berlinona has actually evolved into a veritable grand coupe: sharp lines, a muscular front end, a thin and wide rear end, and even frameless doors, even at the rear.
The content lives up to expectations: frame new (same EMP2 3008 and 5008) rear suspension multiple hands (for better driving dynamics) and many technologies in terms of safety and comfort.
Lo places a lot, but the higher ones from behind touch the sky with their heads. IN trunk instead it is amazing capacity (487 / 1.537 liters) and thanks to the large tailgate, it is also very easy to access. We tried the top-end 180 hp BlueHDi EAT8 GT diesel, but there is also a 1.5 diesel with 131 hp. (also available with a manual transmission) and a 2.0 diesel with 160 hp. If desired, there is also a petrol 1.6 with a capacity of 181 or 224 hp.
