2018 Peugeot 508 leaks ahead of Geneva motor show debut

Peugeot's new saloon gets a concept-inspired look and a Geneva show reveal; it's been outed early on social media, though

Peugeot’s new 508 flagship saloon will get rear styling inspired by the Instinct concept of last year. The new car's design has been shown in new pictures that have leaked out ahead of its official reveal at next month's Geneva motor show.

Posted on Peugeot fan site Peugeot Héritage, the pictures show that the car will feature a stylistic rear light bar like the one on Peugeot's striking 2017 concept.

The images also show that the model, which has been spotted testing on multiple occasions and is due to go on sale in the UK this November, will retain its saloon body style, with a short boot lid with incorporated lip spoiler completing a swooping line from the top of the car’s roof.

The car will gain Peugeot’s i-Cockpit system, with a digital dashboard replacing traditional dials and an 8in touchscreen infotainment system taking precedent on a de-cluttered dashboard.

The headlights also look similar in shape to those of the shooting brake concept, but it’s not yet known to what extent the front of the 508 will mirror the Instinct.

Engines are expected to be shared with larger Peugeot models, so the brand’s BlueHDi engine is due in 1.6 and 2.0-litre iterations, as is a 1.6-litre THP petrol engine, with 165bhp.

A Peugeot 5008 plug-in hybrid is due at the end of the year, so it’s likely that the 508 will use the same powertrain for a range-topping electrified model. The current 508 starts at £25,340; a small rise in price is likely for the new model.

A Citroën saloon, returning in 2019 after the C5 was axed in 2016, will likely share underpinnings with the 508.

That is going to be one helluva striking sedan. The new front-end styling they have been using could results in a car that is as aggressive looking as the 505 was back in the day.

Probably won't see it here

Peugeot sedans have almost always been pretty.

 

[Sumen]

We have to wait so long to see the full car.

 

[Rouxenator]

I think it's a 50/50 if we will see it. Peugeot SA seems to focus on their SUV range, but since they are not selling high volumes here they might as well bring in some 508s. Then again, it will probably share the same platform as the Insignia and we don't get that either.

 

[FiestaST]

We have to wait so long to see the full car.

Geneva motor show unveiling is next month + perhaps Pug “leaks” official pics out before then.

Also I highly doubt we will see this new 508 in SA.

Wowzer!

2018 Peugeot 508: full styling leaks ahead of Geneva debut

Peugeot's new saloon gets a concept-inspired look and a Geneva show reveal; it's been outed early on social media, though

Peugeot’s new 508 flagship saloon will get front and rear styling inspired by the Instinct concept of last year. The new car's design has been shown in a suite of new pictures that have leaked ahead of its official reveal at next month's Geneva motor show.

Full front, rear and interior styling of the new saloon is shown in the leaked images, as well as highlights of the tech available in the French brand's upcoming flagship. Design cues from the Instinct concept are also present on the front, including the stylistic daytime running lights extending down from the headlight clusters. The leaked images were first shown on a Croatian Youtube channel.

The images also show that the model, which has been spotted testing on multiple occasions and is due to go on sale in the UK this November, will retain its saloon body style, with a short boot lid with incorporated lip spoiler completing a swooping line from the top of the car’s roof. The original leak showing the car's rear was posted on Peugeot fan site Peugeot Héritage, the pictures show that the car will feature a stylistic rear light bar like the one on Peugeot's striking 2017 concept.

The car will gain Peugeot’s i-Cockpit system, with a digital dashboard replacing traditional dials and a large central touchscreen infotainment system taking precedent on a de-cluttered dashboard. One shot also reveals camera-based obstacle detection technology, which is likely to be linked to the car's automatic emergency braking system.

Engines are expected to be shared with larger Peugeot models, so the brand’s BlueHDi engine is due in 1.6 and 2.0-litre iterations, as is a 1.6-litre THP petrol engine, with 165bhp. The leak confirms that an automatic gearbox, likely PSA's 6-speed EAT6 unit, will be available. It's not yet known if a manual version will be offered. The 508 GT branding on the car's registration plate confirms that the images show a range-topping warmed-up model.

A Peugeot 5008 plug-in hybrid is due at the end of the year, so it’s likely that the 508 will use the same powertrain for a range-topping electrified model. The current 508 starts at £25,340; a small rise in price is likely for the new saloon.

Beautiful inside and outside

 

[f2wohf]

It looks nice, no point to argue that. But it looks too safe, like already seen on japanese cars (especially the profile pic).

I see what you are saying, the front-end feels like a mix between the Civic and a Camaro. But a very good mix, what a looker of a car!

I def see a Camaro-look at the back. Freaking lovely!

 

[Sumen]

But would it have looked better if it was shorter, I think so.

Maybe The new 408 (which we will never get) will be the shorter version

Afaik there will be no 408 as the 508 was/is the 407 & 607 successor rolled into one. Pitched higher up.

 

[Rouxenator]

The only sad part for me still is you don't get large V6 Peugeot cars anymore.

Those were the days...

True, 407 was the last of the long line of four-oh cars. There is a 408 in China but it's just a 308 sedan. You can still find 607s in SA for prices about the same or lower than the 407.

There is a 408 available in China and Malaysia.

There is a 408 available in China and Malaysia.

But as Roux said is market dependant. It's not a "world" car.

Peugeot 508

The new Peugeot 508 changes everything. Its structure is more compact and its height reduced. The new exterior design is sharper and more robust, while the car's spectacular interior includes an evolution of the iconic Peugeot i-Cockpit. Its exemplary road-handling, new engines, countless technology features and quantum leap in quality means the new Peugeot 508 sets a world class standard within the D-segment and further supports the Brand's upmarket strategy.

A changing concept for a changing segment

In the European market, the traditional D-segment saloon has been stagnant for the last four years, after more than a decade of decline. Under pressure from a diverse range of customer preferences and designs, especially from the SUV market, the large saloon now only finds favour through offering wider variety and adopting a more pronounced identity, .

It was against this backdrop that the designers behind the new Peugeot 508 stated their clear aim: to move away from the conventional boot-lid, four-door shape and towards a five-door fastback coupé-saloon.

A bold design

At first glance, the new Peugeot 508 surprises onlookers with an energetic and expressive presence. The car's height has been reduced - it now barely reaches 1.40 m - and the aerodynamic lines of the vehicle are reminiscent of the coupé style.

The front end is impressive, even aggressive. The finely fashioned, radiator grill with chrome-plated chequerboard asserts itself between the Full LED headlights, inspiration for which was drawn straight from the brand's latest concept car: Peugeot Instinct. With the famous lion centred on its radiator grill and the 508 logo upon the nose of the bonnet, the new Peugeot 508 pays tribute to its acclaimed predecessors, the Peugeot 504 and 504 coupé.
