The restyling of the Peugeot 508 sedan and SW station wagon allows for the adoption of a new 180 hp plug-in hybrid version. Cheaper?
Launched at the end of 2018, the second-generation Peugeot 508 undergoes a traditional facelift. For this update, the sedan and “SW” station wagon duo receive the grille from the 408 hybrid, blending into the bumper. Matrix LED headlights become standard, and the daytime running LEDs are transformed into three claws. Overall, a more aggressive look, while the rear loses the Peugeot logo for the full inscription.
The interior changes very little, with a larger 10-inch touchscreen and new displays on the instrument cluster. Equipment options include, depending on the version, Level 2 semi-autonomous driving, new parking cameras, and night vision.
Three plug-in hybrid versions
Initially, the Peugeot 508 hybrid was only available in two variants. The more affordable was the Hybrid 225 hp, with the powerful PSE (Peugeot Sport Engineering) added later. Now, a third model joins the lineup for the sedan and station wagon.
The new model is the Peugeot 508 Hybrid 180 horsepower. It features the same electric-petrol duo already used in the Peugeot 3008 hybrid. Equipped with the same 81 kW electric motor at the front, it pairs a 1.6-liter petrol engine with 150 hp. With a total of 180 hp, the plug-in hybrid will probably be more affordable than before. Peugeot has not yet announced the prices for this new 508 hybrid.
| Power | Combustion | Electric | Total |
| Hybrid 180 | 150 hp | 109 hp | 180 hp |
| Hybrid 225 | 180 hp | 109 hp | 225 hp |
| PSE 360 | 200 hp | 109 + 111 hp | 360 hp |
What is the price of the new Peugeot 508 Hybrid 2023?
Not available for a few weeks and previously only in stock, the 508 Hybrid 225 cost at least €51,620 for the sedan and €52,920 for the SW station wagon. It will be difficult to go below €50,000 even for the Hybrid 180 hp, given the barely €1,800 difference between the 308 Hybrid 180/225.
Goal for this new Peugeot 508 Hybrid 2023? Remain one of the few generalist plug-in hybrid sedans—or semi-premium—facing its only rival, the Volkswagen Passat. As for the Peugeot 508 PSE, its price could well exceed €70,000.
