PEUGEOT is going through a period of reinvention, with all-new models such AE as the forthcoming 408 and heavily revised cars, including the 308 hatch, underpinning its push to go more premium. But what about existing models such as the 508?
Well, the brand has upgraded the range with some subtle styling alterations and spec tweaks to boost its appeal. The range now starts with Active Premium trim, with more kit, while the old Allure spec has been axed in favour of Allure Premium. Above this there's GT, and this GT Premium model.
It also features subtle styling updates, including black door mirror caps and a dark chrome grille insert with a black surround, while all 508s now have LED headlights.
This high-spec GT Premium trim gets lots of standard kit. The Driver Assist pack groups adaptive cruise control and lane assistance tech, plus there's full keyless go, a 360-degree camera, sat-nav and live services, the latest smartphone connectivity, a Focal stereo, 19-inch alloy wheels, dual-zone climate control, heated seats, and a 12.3-inch digital dash.
