Peugeot's first generation 508 was improved in this facelifted post-2014-era guise, but its essential virtues remained much as before, with comfort, style and practicality all strong selling points. It's still not the most dynamic choice you could make in search of a used 'D' segment medium range model, but it's a consummate cruiser that in this updated MK1 form benefitted from extra technology and the option of a more efficient BlueHDi diesel engine. Both these things combined with the smarter styling to keep this saloon and SW estate line-up current until it was replaced in 2018. Does it stack up as a used buy?
History
Look back on the history of large Peugeots - say at the 403 model of the Fifties, the 404 of the Sixties and the 504 of the Seventies or the 505 of the Eighties - and you see the brand pursuing a 'one size fits all' approach to this segment. Core customers simply didn't need anything bigger. It was a strategy unwisely abandoned between the later Eighties and the modern era when 405 and 605 models (and later their 407 and 607 descendants) were launched to offer buyers separate 'large' and 'larger' alternatives in this sector. With the original launch of this 508 model in 2011, that idea was abandoned. Going forward, this would be the only option for those wanting a really spacious, comfortable Peugeot of the conventional kind.
There weren't many people of that sort though - not in Europe anyway - so to try and improve 508 sales, Peugeot significantly revised this model in 2014 with updated engines and a smarter look for both the saloon and the SW estate, plus an upgraded cabin. In addition, there was a clever non-Plug-in diesel/electric hybrid RXH. It didn't make much difference and sales slumped until the second generation 508 model was launched in mid-2018.

I bought a 15 plate 150/372 gt line sw in april 23 with some inheritance, it came with a tow bar, is white with blacked out windows and suits me down to the ground! At 57 I've found the car to last me me til I die after giving up on my old 02 406 estate lol. For me this is the best estate around given the prices of passats, mondeos, superbs and A4's etc. It drive's like a dream, handles awesomely well and after 39 years of driving I know! Just the fact the cops are now using these and the 308's says it all really! I would just like to say however that having been a youtube user since it began I think the presentation, editing and professionalism of this video is astounding (even by a tatey picker lol ;) ) Liked n subbed but anyone looking at the 508sw to buy you should watch this cos its the best on youtube!
This is the best estate I’ve ever driven
cops use them down to a price , not for the image .
I had two of these as company car, were my best cars ever, now I'm retired and I have the 508 II SW 2.0 HDI 160, it really is a dream
Love a 406
Bring old presenters back pleeeeeeze
Just like that one but not that one😂😂has to be the rarest peugeot on the road ever cos you never see em😂😂
Correct don't see many around but I bought one in 2015 still have it nice car
There's absolutely loads about, they just blend in like crazy because most are base spec cars. Mines a GT and everyone compliments how handsome it is.@@raymondvaughan6262
