Super TestCar reviews - Peugeot - 508 - Sedan and wagon rangePeugeot modelsOverviewPeugeot's refined 508 is a quality contender in the bustling medium-car segment18 Jul 2011 WITH six-speed gearboxes all-round, Euro 5 and five-star ENCAP ratings, four-cylinder-only powerplants, three diesel engine choices, two body styles and a single petrol engine variant (for now), the fresh 508 represents Peugeot’s most thorough attack on the medium and large car segment in a generation, imbuing space, comfort and quality with high-tech driveability and eco features to take on everything from the Hyundai i45 to the Holden Calais. After the disappointing 407, does the French newcomer possess what it takes to persuade non-plussed Aussie consumers spoiled for choice? We think so.
