Peugeot 508 Comparison

The Peugeot 508 is a discontinued large fastback and wagon range that gave Peugeot a stylish alternative to conventional sedans and SUVs. It combined low-slung design, a premium-feeling cabin and European touring comfort, with plug-in hybrid performance available in later versions. In Australia it appealed to buyers who wanted elegance and individuality in a market increasingly dominated by SUVs. The 508 was practical in wagon form and distinctive in fastback form, but the shrinking appetite for large passenger cars limited its audience. Its departure leaves a gap for buyers who still prefer the comfort and handling balance of a low-riding grand tourer over a family SUV.
