No changes have been made to the shape of the side of the car, but the rear has been tweaked to include LED tail-lights that have been made to lay flatter on the horizontal plane, and there’s a bit more attitude to the shape by way of stronger lines.
Overall length has been increased by 38mm for the sedan and wagon (Tourer, in Pug speak), with 16mm of that in the front overhang and 22mm in the rear. This, however, is all cosmetic, as the boot volume remains the same, and so do the interior dimensions.
Peugeot has pitched this update as something of a move upmarket, and the new 508 certainly has an executive sedan feel to it. The interior upgrades include new trims and some technological and ergonomic improvements.Â
A colour heads-up display shows digital speed and navigation directions, while safety updates include blind-spot monitoring and a reverse-view camera â€" both welcome additions â€" as well as “Open&Go†keyless entry and start, an electric parking brake, automatic headlight dipping, auto-dimming rear-view mirror, tyre inflation monitoring, front and rear parking sensors and quad-zone automatic air conditioning.
The 7.0-inch display is now a touchscreen, doing away with the clunky dial used before, which also rids the console of many of the buttons used in the current car. The result is a more functional system with greater ease of use for things such as navigation and radio.
