Peugeot's 508 Hybrid delivers plug-in tech from a brand keen to play the long game when it comes to electrification. Jonathan Crouch takes a look at the revised version.

Ten Second Review
Peugeot has high aspirations for its 508 medium range model, which means that it needs to offer cutting edge electrified technology - and does in this Plug-in Hybrid form which, like other 'R83'-series 508 models, has been significantly facelifted. There's a price to pay for the convenience of limited fuel-free mileage, but you'll gain some of the outlay back in lower taxation payments and petrol savings. Fastback and SW estate variants both feature with this set-up and there's premium packaging and appealing design to sugar the asking figures.

Background
Stricter emissions regulations have forced every brand to invest in electrified engine tech and it's been interesting to see how different brands have prioritised the different technology options the industry currently has to offer. For this Peugeot 508, the Stellantis Group chose to ignore the two self-charging options (mild and full-hybrids) and instead install a Plug-in Hybrid engine in the top versions, creating this Peugeot 508 Hybrid.
The same set-up is offered in the Lion brand's 3008 mid-sized SUV - and here in potent 360hp form in a top 'Peugeot Sport Engineered' AWD version. With the mainstream 508 Hybrid, the idea is to address a primarily business-orientated clientele attracted by the low taxation opportunity that models of this kind offer. People currently considering cars in this class like the Volkswagen Passat GTE and the BMW 330e.
