The car comes with petrol engines in 180hp and 225hp versions and diesels with 130hp. 160hp and 180hp outputs. There are four grades available including a GT version flagship. Other than a manual 6-speed available with the 130hp diesel, all versions have an 8-speed automatic. The car is a liftback coupe format, and an estate version is due in the autumn. Its interior features the Peugeot i-cockpit design with the instruments visible over the top of the small steering wheel. In a deliberate policy, the 508 has no badges identifying which fuel type it uses, and only the exhaust tailpipe design indicates it. This will apply to all Peugeot models in the future, including Low Emission (LEV) versions.
