Very comfortable. Precise steering. E35 petrol engine, 150 hp — sufficient. Manual gearbox very good and well-geared. Looks very handsome. Very large boot. Premium interior.

The Peugeot 508 SW dresses up as a sleek estate, blending Parisian flair with usable loadspace so you don't have to choose between style and weekend practicality. Inside it's a driver-focused cabin with quality materials and clever packaging that makes it a sensible, slightly mischievous choice for buyers who want an executive feel without the buttoned-up seriousness.
