If predictions were correct, it would be the first time that the company sold more units in any country other than France for any model that is available in Europe.

The 508 range also included PSA's HYbrid4 diesel electric hybrid powertrain, which reduced fuel consumption further, to 3.80 L/100 km; 61.9 mpg‑US (74.3 mpg‑imp) with CO2 emissions of 99 g/km.

[15] The top GT version comes with a 201 bhp (150 kW; 204 PS), 2.2-litre turbodiesel engine which generates 458 N⋅m (338 lbf⋅ft) of torque.

It comes mated solely to a six speed torque converter automatic gearbox which offers manual shifts via paddles or a central selector.

The score was: At the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show, Peugeot revealed a hybrid-electric crossover estate de luxe variant of the 508.

To distinguish it from other 508 models, the RXH features flared wheel arches, as well as a new color-coded grille with three columns of LED daytime running lights on each side.

SPORT mode offers a combined power output of 150kW (200hp) and 450Nm at speeds up to 120km/h, throttle response is very aggressive and the engine revs up to 4000RPM before upshifts.

It is competing with the Audi A4 Allroad, the Volvo XC70, the Passat Alltrack or even more, the BMW 3 Series XDrive.A concept "hybrid power" car prefiguring the style of the future 508 coupé, called the Peugeot SR1, was presented at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2010.

[23] The estate version was rumoured in May 2018, announced in June and was officially unveiled at the 2018 Paris Motor Show.

The design is inspired by the Instinct shooting brake concept, shown at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show.

[26] In May 2019, the 508 debuted in the market in the Middle East, featuring the carryover 165 hp 1.6 litre engine, and the six speed automatic of the previous generation.

[27] Unveiled on February 24, 2023, the facelift features a revised front end that includes the brand's new logo alongside a new infotainment system.

Another difference between the two versions is in the rear with the five-door liftback configuration of the European 508 being replaced by a conventional trunk, making the 508L a traditional four-door sedan in China.

The safety kit includes automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, active blind spot detection including some steering correction to avoid an accident, speed and road sign recognition, automatic headlight beam selection and some driver-attention monitoring systems.

[37] Unveiled in February 2019, and officially presented at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show, this concept is a sporty plug in hybrid version of the 508.

This concept will spawn a similar sporty production model which will be available, both as a saloon and an estate, in the second half of 2020.
