French car – a rarity in our area. Why some motorists prefer to travel by other European brands. All in one voice told that the French machine is a complex device and not repairable. But this applies mainly to the premium segment. We'll consider a low class car. This "Peugeot 508". Owner reviews, disadvantages, specifications and not only – further in our article.
"Peugeot 508" is a mid-size car D-class that produced a French company since the end of 2010. Produced machine and still. "Peugeot 508" comes in several body styles. It is a sedan and wagon. This model is designed to compete with such cars like "Volkswagen Passat, Ford Mondeo and Hyundai Sonata".

The French have greatly reworked the design of the front. So, the radiator grille has become more narrow, changed the configuration of the head optics, and in the lower part there are a wide air intake. The sides of the bumper are massive strips of running lights and a neat fog light lenses. But there is such a design "Peugeot 508" and disadvantages. Reviews from owners say that due to a protruding rib racks are difficult to sweep away snow in winter. Also a little worse accessibility because the bumpers were lower.
It is Worth noting that in the station wagon, the French used a panoramic roof. This makes the design more futuristic and adds lighting in the cabin.
The Car has the following dimensions. Length – 4,79 meters, width – of 1.85, height – 1.46 metres. The magnitude of the wheelbase – 2817 mm. It should be noted that "Peugeot" is a pretty impressive clearance. Its size is 17 inches. According to reviews, "Peugeot 508" perfectly suited to our road conditions. The machine performs well not only on the primer. The car overcomes great snow-covered areas – the reviews say. "Peugeot 508" not stalled and is moving forward confidently, even if the amount of snow more than 15 cm.
Inside the car looks decent, but without the blatant cheapness, as in "Toyota Camry 40". The center console has a nice look and is equipped with everything necessary. There is a multimedia display (the touch, seven-inch), unit climate control and radio. Looks nice, glossy black insert. The wheel – a three-spoke, with a crazy set of buttons. By the way, the lower part of the steering wheel is slightly beveled, as in a sports car. Instrument panel – switches, with the digital computer in the middle. There is also a projection. In General, the "Peugeot" well completed. Already in the basic configuration there is a immobilizer, climate control, electric Windows all doors, leather steering wheel and seat adjustment in three planes. It is worth noting that the salon has a combined upholstery. It is fabric and leather. But according to reviews, "Peugeot 508" GT upholstery much Mara.
Among the main advantages of this car worth noting:
Now go through the disadvantages. There are several of them:
For this class of car has very big trunk. A volume of 545 litres. Also, the manufacturer provides for the transformation of the rear of the sofa. The result is a flat load platform with a volume of 1244 liters. Under the floor is a niche for dokatki and Jack.
Open the trunk lid with hidden buttons in the center. But as noted by the owners, "Peugeot 508" (diesel and gasoline in particular) has a serious problem. In the trunk of water is formed when the lid is opened. This is not a marriage, and an ill-conceived scheme of drainage. Therefore, water in the boot can happen to anyone and the owner of "Peugeot 508".
This car can be equipped with different engines. All four of them. There are both diesel and petrol variants. Each of them will be discussed separately.
This is the base engine, which is equipped with a French sedan primary trim levels. This is a naturally-aspirated power unit in-line unit on four cylinders, two camshafts and 16-valve head. When the volume of 1.6 liters, the engine produces 120 HP of power. It's a little higher than the rest of the class. Such power of the French was achieved through the application of the system of variable valve timing. Torque of the motor is good, too – the reviews say. "Peugeot 508" 120 HP produces 160 Nm.
Also the car has acceptable dynamics. Of course, the basic motor is still far from competitors E - and D-class, but in the flow of the driver is to stay confident. Acceleration to hundreds of takes 11 and a half seconds. Maximum speed – 203 kilometers per hour. Another plus "Peugeot 508" – low fuel consumption. According to reviews, "Peugeot 508" the robot on a 1.6 litre engine consumes no more than six and a half liters of 95 octane in the combined cycle.
This is a more powerful engine equipped with the turbine. Thanks to the boost to the French managed to increase significantly the characteristics of this engine. While maintaining 4-cylinder layout of the unit, the power unit was 150 horsepower. Engine torque – 240 Nm. What the reviews say about "Peugeot 508" 150 HP? This machine is very frisky. Before hundreds of car accelerates in 9.2 seconds. The maximum speed is limited to 220 kilometers per hour. Also note that after the restyling of the characteristics of the motor improved. Thus, when the volume of 1.6 liters and the engine power increased to 156 horsepower. This had a positive impact on the dynamics of dispersal. To hundreds of new Peugeot accelerates in nine seconds. But the maximum speed remains at 220 kilometers per hour.
What is the "Peugeot 508" 1.6 150 HP? Owner reviews say the car is quite economical. Despite the presence of the turbine, the car consumes just 7,0-of 7.3 liters of gasoline per hundred in mixed mode.
This is the base motor in the range of "solid" units. If the volume in 1560 cubic centimeters this unit develops 112 HP. What they say about "Peugeot 508" 1.6 diesel reviews?
Since this is a diesel motor, it is worth noting its excellent traction. Torque is 240 Nm, which is similar to the previous petrol motor 150 forces. The car literally takes off at lower rpm. At the same time, the petrol engine needs to spin at least to three thousand rpm in order to get good dynamics. Disperse hundreds diesel Peugeot takes 11.3 seconds. Maximum speed – 190 kilometers per hour. According to owner reviews, diesel "Peugeot 508" is a pretty economical car. In the combined cycle consumption barely reaches five liters. On the highway the car consumes no more than four and a half.
Top of the line diesel engines is a two-liter turbocharged engine from the HDI. This unit has an output of 136 horsepower. Torque – 340 Nm. Layout – inline, four-cylinder. Before hundreds of car accelerates in 9.8 seconds. Fuel consumption – 5.7 liters in mixed mode.
Note that after the restyling of this unit has been updated. What the reviews say about "Peugeot 508" 2.0 diesel 2017? The motor was evenmore economical. Compared with the previous, the machine spends 0.5 liters less fuel under the same conditions. Engine power has slightly increased and amounts to 140 horsepower.
We should also mention the modification of the GT. To the surprise of many motorists, under the hood, this version uses a diesel engine. Externally, the modification of the GT is recognisable by the characteristic nameplate on the trunk and grille, and diffuser rear bumper and different exhaust pipes. In the cabin of this sedan used hard sports seats with red stitching and an upgraded panel display devices.
What they say about "Peugeot 508" GT owner reviews? Machine deserves attention. This is the most powerful instance in the line. Under the hood is located inline four-cylinder turbocharged engine with 204 horsepower. Engine capacity – 2.2 liters. Torque – 450 Nm. The acceleration of this car is acceptable, but the faster version of the GT owners can not name. The first hundred machine dials in 8.2 seconds. Maximum speed – 234 kilometers per hour. This motor is not conducive to aggressive driving – the reviews say. He just has good traction, which can be used for safe overtaking and rapid acceleration in an emergency.
"Peugeot 508" can be equipped with different types of transmissions. This:
The Last transmission is the most common "Peugeot 508". This automatic transmission is a Japanese slot machine “aysin" third generation. According to reviews, this box is switched very quickly and unnoticed. Aftershocks are excluded, even when the dynamic acceleration. As for a resource box "Aisin" have proven to be good. Unlike French machine AL-4, Japanese transmission has no problems with premature failure of clutches and solenoids. However, in order to box lasts a really long time, do not forget about replacing the ATF oil. It's the working fluid for the automatic transmission, which should be changed every 60 thousand kilometers.
I'm Sure many will wonder why the French engines on the Peugeot (diesel and gasoline) for such a low fuel consumption. Yes, using a single system of displacement of phases timing are not done (despite the fact that more the system aims to increase the boost dynamics). The French used the technology of smart start and stop engine. So, traffic jam, the motor automatically shuts down when idle. It allows to save fuel. In diesel engines used direct injection system.
The Car is built on a front-wheel drive "truck" with a transverse power unit. Used front suspension "McPherson", and behind – memorycache. Also note that the GT version of the design of the chassis is slightly modified. So, the front uses another scheme. Steering – rail with electro-hydraulic power.
How to behave on the move French car? Reviews say that the suspension is tuned for a smoother ride. The machine absorbs the pit, while extraneous noise in the cabin does not penetrate. However, if we talk about the version of GT owners say that mounting it harsh. Partly because are 18-inch wheels on low profile tires. These wheels fit perfect only for smooth, paved roads.
Regardless of the configuration of the front suspension the car slides into turns and not experiencing lateral roll – the reviews say. "Peugeot 508" – very maneuverable and predictable car.
Brake system – disc on both axles. The front uses ventilated "pancakes" in the back – normal. Brakes this car enough – the reviews say. Even with aggressive driving, you can be sure that the car stops in time.
The French engineers when creating "Peugeot 508" made a big emphasis on safety. So, the car is equipped with:
Also, the vehicle is equipped with stability control and emergency braking. Additionally French the car is equipped with ESP the new generation. In it the braking effort is distributed evenly due to the presence of the electronic mechanism.
So, we found the car "Peugeot 508". The machine has a good design, has a comfortable interior and economical engine is different. Judging by the reviews, this model of Peugeot reliability. This car is versatile and can be used for any purpose.
