Peugeot has updated the 508 and 508 SW models, with revised trim options, new interior features as well as exterior design changes.

The 508 line-up starts from £28,215, with the 508 SW costing from £29,815 and models are available to order now.

Following customer feedback, Peugeot has streamlined the trim levels available across the 508 range. Both the 508 and 508 SW will now be available in Active Premium, Allure Premium, GT, GT Premium and Peugeot Sport Engineered trim levels, with Allure trim no longer available.

Peugeot has also introduced subtle styling changes across the range. All models now have black door mirrors instead of body-coloured ones, while the front grille from GT trim will evolve from chrome to an assertive dark chrome with a black surround. From Allure Premium trim onwards, full LED headlights are standard.

Available in Fastback or SW, the 508 can be purchased with efficient plug-in Hybrid, petrol and diesel powertrains. With emissions as low as 29g/km CO₂, plug-in Hybrid variants are ideal for fleet and business users, with Benefit-in-Kind (BIK) rates from 10 per cent and a zero emissions range of up to 39 miles (WLTP). By 2024, Peugeot will offer an electrified variant across its entire model line-up.

Earlier this year, the 508 Peugeot Sport Engineered was added to the range. Available as a Fastback or a sleek estate SW model, this trim introduces a new ‘Neo-Performance’ philosophy that combines Peugeot’s motorsport knowhow with its expertise in electrification.

The four-wheel drive 508 Peugeot Sport Engineered features plug-in Hybrid electric technology and produces 360hp through combining an internal combustion engine with two electric motors. With up to 26 miles of zero emissions range, it comes with a low 12 per cent BIK rate.
