Peugeot has released full details on available variants and powertrains worldwide for the facelifted Peugeot 508 range, which includes the 508 SW estate, 508 RXH ‘ruggedised’ estate and 508 HYbrid4 sedan. We also have a mega gallery of pics for your viewing pleasure.
But first, dimensions, weights and boot volumes. The 508 sedan is 4,830 mm long and 1,456 mm tall, weighs between 1,390 and 1,540 kg, and can hold 515 litres (HYbrid4 sedan 347 litres) in its boot. The 508 SW is one millimetre shorter and 31 mm taller, weighs 1,410-1,560 kg and has a 550 litre boot volume.
Compared to the SW, the 508 RXH is another millimetre shorter. Naturally, it’s the tallest bodystyle, standing at 1,525 mm. It weighs 1,717-1,770 kg, and can hold 550 litres (HYbrid4 RXH 400 litres) in its boot. All variants share the same 2,817 mm wheelbase and 2,068 mm width (including wing mirrors).
A range of petrol, diesel and HYbrid4 powertrains are available. The petrol engines are a VTi 120, THP 156 “World” and the new Euro 6-compliant THP 165 S&S, all 1.6 litre units.
Mated to either a six-speed manual or new EAT6 six-speed auto, the new THP 165 replaces the THP 156 in Europe, but judging by the latter’s “World” moniker and the fact that it’s of Euro 4 standard, the old engine, connected exclusively to an AT6 six-speed auto, could soldier on in certain world markets.
The 1.6 THP 165 S&S develops 165 hp at 6,000 rpm and 240 Nm of torque at 1,400 rpm. Combined fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are a claimed 5.8 litres per 100 km and 134 grams per km respectively.
The oil burners comprise a 115 hp 1.6 e-HDi, a 2.0 HDi in 140 hp and 160 hp states of tune, a 200 hp 2.2 HDi and a new Euro 6-compliant 2.0 BlueHDi in 150 hp (six-speed manual only) and 180 hp (EAT6 six-speed auto only) states of tune.
The 2.0 BlueHDi 150 produces 150 hp at 4,000 rpm and 370 Nm at 2,000 rpm, while the higher 180 tune does 180 hp at 3,750 rpm and 400 Nm at 2,000 rpm. The former is good for a combined fuel consumption of 4.2 litres per 100 km and CO2 emissions of 109 grams per km, and for the 180, marginally higher at 4.4 litres per 100 km and 116 grams of CO2 per km.
The familiar HYbrid4 powertrain, combining a 163 hp/300 Nm 2.0 HDi FAP diesel engine (powering the front wheels), a 37 hp/200 Nm electric motor (powering the rear wheels) and a six-speed ETG6 single-clutch automated gearbox, is offered with sedan and RXH bodystyles. The RXH is also available with a 2.0 BlueHDi 180/EAT6 six-speed auto engine and gearbox combo.

Good looking car but bad maintenance in malaysia. Still play safe and get the boring jappy.
Good car … CRAP Local Agent… so end up with LEMON
Obviously you don’t drive one and you are spewing ignorance nonsense. Go get, borrow, steal one, drive it for a year and then talk. Sheesh. Some people think they know it all.
I own and drive one. Period.
So you have good rapport with the local agent…?
Not difficult to have good rapport. Just be willing to talk things over and more can be done.
I owned one 508 Premium, no problem whatsoever. NASIM even on its own initiative recall / replace a brake booster for me (recall from Peugeot international), even though I felt no problem with the brake whatsoever, in fact the brake was functioning tremendously well I would say.
As far as rapport, the relationship and support from them is excellent until now.
In Proton fanboys’ eye, recall = no good! Lifetime warranty = good power window!
According to their logic, your peugeot is no way close to Proton “good” quality.
Super Cold Door Car
This face lifted version looks much sharper than the current model. At 1.6L, very road tax friendly for Malaysia.
Would prefer this over the normal D segment leaders.
Just a sad thing that we cannot fully enjoy the excellent HDi engines over here.
Interior design plain.
Visit the showroom. Make sure you visit all the other players in the same class. Then come back with your comment.
I have quite a few acquaintances who drive Peugeot 508 (pre-facelift model) and I have to say that the ride is smooth & powerful. Really feels like sitting in continental car at Japanese car price.
Features like HUD, Sat Nav system, paddle shift, cruise control are all standard… Talk about value
I was a true blue Jap guy. Owned Toyota, Honda, Nissan. I say to all you guys out there, if resale value is not a concern, go give it a try. Not saying that Jap cars are inferior but we have all been told that European cars are not reliable and “not as good” as the Japanese cars. One and a half year later, I am still a very happy owner even though it has depreciated RM35K within that period. But then, where could I get 6 airbags, 156bhp, ABS, electronic stability program (rated by the car industry as a must have), turbo engine (PSA/BMW and award winning engine), 5 star rating (NCAP), fully Euro made, Michelin tyres all round, 5 year warranty, BMW class interior finishing, and well, Japanese gearbox. Not to mention that the drivetrain is shared across 5 models (308T, 408T, 508, 3008 and 5008).
I was shopping for either Camry, Accord, Passat or even Mazda 6 but ended up with a 508.
Same here bro……almost one year own this car and its stilll put a smile on my face when i drove it, espeacially for the FC …cheers
Same here, very satisfied and happy with the car 508 Premium, no regrets. Even recommended a friend who bought a 508 Premium also.
Brother in law also owned a 508 Turbo S, according to him, it even saves 20-25% petrol in comparison to a 2.0G Camry (Mind you, this car should compare to 2.5V Camry loh, my bro in law owned one Camry 2.0G before). ha ha ..
RChoo, it is true, my previous car was a Camry 2.0. Consumption on the 508 is better by exactly that margin. This is because of the GDI engine which are generally more advanced and fuel efficient. Another thing about Nasim is that the people are quite nice but I sense that they are quite overwhelmed by the volume. Generally speaking, they are friendlier than the UMW-Toyota and Honda folks. So far, I would say it is not a bad experience.
I urge those who are not familiar with the brand to at least pay a visit to the showroom and service centre. It took me a few visits and a couple of test drives to feel comfortable enough to make the decision. At workplace, a number of us are driving Pugs and don’t think there are major complaints.
Say nice, it’s really not that nice. Say ugly, it’s really not ugly either.
Nice design and looks. Much more sharper than the previous model.
its a shame that we cant enjoy the better variants of the engine due to our petrol; grade ! Also the service crew’s efficiency is questionable !
Considered once before – but ….
Good car but hard to sell. Not just in Malaysia, but fighting hard worldwide.
Those new shiny bits looks d business…
Quad zone climate control ftw
too flawed to compete…pity
Would you care to elaborate? Thanks.
He will never elaborate.. think one liner is cool n seems to stick to it all the time… its his MO.
many make simple yet unfounded one-liners and claim they know so and so.
Brb…. FAPping to the awesome FAP engine
one of the best equipped D-segment in M’sia. would prefer this over sushi kimchi or other conti makes. why oh why the brother who sells this name Naza?!
We need something called Peugeot Malaysia – without the Naza cronies…
peugeot malaysia is here. go ask them lah.
Me gusta. I love the face of the car and the cockpit area looks like it’ll feel pretty good for the driver.
That black patches around the number plate area/just underneath the front grille has ruined the front face design a bit.
My cousin is a peugeot SC technician told me a lot of complains on the current engine (1.6 turbo) as it tends to breakdown due to excessive sludge and eventually succumb to overhauling.Happens to all model with 1.6 turbo engine (almost all models use this engine).
my good friend says only the older engines. newer engines are fine.
my third aunty drive this car….engine meletup
Semi-Value. Care to elaborate. First time I hear engine meletup. Which SC attended to it and also what is the car number. I know the Nasim folks well enough to get them to run a check.
he’s just adding to make the thread longer. no real fact behind the statement.
These 2 guys are Peugeot Agents. Keep disturbing people to give their own comments.
Overall a decently designed car, in and out… i mean design, not engineered… personally drove 1 of this previously for 1 week (uncle’s car dropped in my house as he’s out for vacation)
pros:
-good looking (personal opinion)
-nicely layout interior and above average materials used.
-decent overall sound proofing (although i recall
Nissan Teana is quieter)
-composed, and responsive handling (but the mazda 6 still
edge it on this)
cons:
– more like a boutique car, designed wise, but not
mechanically sound.
-the 1.6 turbo engine looks good on paper, but
not smooth on the move, and sound quite rough at time.
(after 4k rpm)
– then the 6-speed gearbox, quite lazy and jerky in the
town use… it does make the feel lethargic( while the
Vios and Saga around just overtake me easily)
-Rattles ! yes, loud interior rattles over the
dashboard when driving… this is the most annoying part
as i couldnt find the source and its just LOUD.. as
i don’t expect sub 200k car has this even at 30k
milleage.
-Heavy steering at slow speed… sorry girls, unless u
are a gym trainer :)
-small interior space (u will understand if u ever get
into Honda Accord, or even the smaller NIssan Sylphy)
-fuel consumption ( dont expect small car consumption
from the 1.6 engine, the engine and GB just have to work
hard to keep it in pace)
overall, a good ‘looking’ car, but ‘asthmatic’ and
‘not premium’ on the move…
Thanks for the subjective review.
How come I got none of the problem and grievances as complained by you.
I smell competitor fabrication.
this perhaps the most accurate description of pijot, that’s very typical of the brand, almost there but just that little bit not yet, and has been like that for umpteenth years
Jay, are you sure you drove the 508???? I think you got mixed up. I think you are just making things up. The 1.6 engine is very responsive across a very wide RPM range. Turbo kicks in at low 1000 rpm. It accelerates better than my wife’s 2.0 Focus because of the turbo engine.
Stuff like heavy steering and small space is untrue. For those who are undecided what to believe, go for a test drive.
There are many happy owners like me around and we think it is worth a try.
The best VFM car if resale is not a concern. As for 1.6T engine maintenance, the SCs are undertrained and overloaded bar a few, so post-warranty look for a good workshop who knows the innards inside out (engine decarbo a must, timing chain, etc.)
looks like hyundai sonata 2014 ~
*orgasm*
Wish I can afford one…..one of the good things in life that made me want to work harder and elevate my earning power.
No need to push your self work harder.
Sinple buy Proton Iriz, cheap and local made.
TDrM sell you buy, you don’t buy he ask more from r&d.
i hope peugeot will make GT version with upgraded 208gti 1.6 engine..lagi umphhhh if peugeot make R version with 270ps 330Nm 1.6!!!i repeat 1.6!!…so bye2 to merc or bimmer with 2 litre with only 210++bhp
Lot of people have doubts about going down the conti route. I decided to take the ‘risk’ and went for a mondeo. So far have been very happy. Driving along NS highway is simply awesome experience. So smooth, quiet, power on tap waiting to be unleashed. No problems with after sales service. Coming to two and half years – no regrets.
I think lot of people blindly bash conti cars without any first hand experience. (VW problem not withstanding). Yes RV will be poor, but really don’t you want to enjoy your driving experience. As someone said, thinking about RV is like thinking about divorce even before you have got married.
Hey Jude, glad that you wrote in. I think Mondeo is an awesome car. Based on review, it is a nicer ride than my 508. My wife drives a Focus and if Mondeo is supposed to be better, I can imagine how good a ride you own!
Peugeot design is very tempting to own one follow by the Korean.
No Euro4 fuel in Msia, mean no go.
Why I don’t see any steering lock in the photos?
I own a 308 VTi for the last 3 and half years. 55000 kms. It used to give me 13 km/l when new, now it gives me 13.5 km/l. It is just like magic, the fuel consumption has improved by half a km/l over the last 55000 kms. I just changed the front disc pads. The supervisor told me that carbon pads last for about 35000 kms, but mine lasted 55000. All this is happening to me contrary to some comments on this page. Am I an exception?? Please comment.
i find it strange that sam what is his name would come here to comment negatively on a car he has no interest in it at all.
does it bring any value to stir up a hornet nest. i hope he is happy now.
maybe i could buy him an ice cream to make him more happy.
Semi-Value is another person. I appreciate either owners or industry insiders with credentials making comments about the car but when you have people saying engine meletup and stuff like that, it is just sad. Why so free one?
well, i suppose he is equally capable walking into his neighbour house and make comment to the man of the house his wife looks like a devil or something like the curry she cooks stint like a dead rat.
kok talking on a public forum is cheap but does it really being any value to his already depreciating semi value?
maybe we pug owner should buy him a ice cream treat too.
i hope he is happy man now.
When are they going to launch the new model in malysia? I was about to buy the 508 premium in June, but put in on hold after the news of 508 – 2015 model came out. Can wait to own one. I have made my comparison with camry, accord and passat. I still feel that Pug is better and value for money.
i own a 508 and its a fantastic car.no regrets owning it.as they say once you drive a European marque ,there’s no turning back.
I read that Nasim service service uses Petronas Syntium engine oil, which is a bad oil with a lot of carbon deposits!
That could be one of the reasons/factors why Jawabandar’s cousin said that there are a lot of complaints on the current engine (1.6 turbo) where it tends to breakdown due to excessive sludge and eventually succumb to overhauling.
I think anyone considering a Peugeot should forget about buying this make in Malaysia.
While the reliability of Peugeot cars may not be all that bad, their after-sales service could well be the worst in Malaysia. Read about someone’s experience of their Peugeot 508 here:
https://www.facebook.com/PeugeotClubMalaysia/posts/733015910081569
It is so terrible that not only am I backing out from buying a Peugeot 508, but Nasim has to give a RM40,000 discount (instead of just RM15,000 discount during their year-end sale) to entice me and other buyers to even consider their Peugeot cars.
When the new facelift of Peugeot 508 will launch in Malaysia?
I saw the car ready. Not for public viewing. It’s a beauty. The price might be increased by 5k. Launching on 1st week of june.
