During 2023, the Peugeot 508 will be entitled to a little well-deserved makeover, with several technological and aesthetic updates including the integration of new brand codes with a logo in the center of the grille, among others.

Peugeot has already started preparing the ground by cleaning up the current model range. Indeed, the battery hybrid engines temporarily disappeared from the catalog to better return to the restyling of the model, while the 360 ​​hp PSE sports version. should not be restored.

But the next important deadline for Peugeot, It will probably be 2025 and the appearance of a new generation of 508. From this date, the French sedan should become 100% electric and thus deal with the future Volkswagen ID.7 or Tesla Model 3.

“SUV” Peugeot 508?

Our British colleagues at Autocar reveal some interesting details about the future electric Peugeot 508. The new 508 (assuming it continues to be called that) will most likely be based on the Stellantis STLA modular platform, which will underpin most of the group’s future models. The styling and hardware should be very close to the Inception concept unveiled at CES in Las Vegas last January.

Given the market trend, Peugeot may offer a slightly different look compared to the prototype, with a relief silhouette and a design closer to a crossover. With the 408, the French firm has already proven that it can “merge” the two segments, and the 508 will undoubtedly follow the same path.

What kind of power and what kind of autonomy?

Some of the technologies presented in the Inception concept car will be present on the new Peugeot 508. In particular, we should find a new electronically controlled steering wheel, several advanced functions related to autonomous driving, as well as a new generation of batteries that can be charged with induction .

Right now, it’s hard to imagine the exact range and performance of this upcoming electric 508. But Peugeot isn’t too far off from the numbers recently announced by Volkswagen for its ID.7. So we have to expect range from 500 to 600 km AND power varies between 300 and 500 hpdepending on the version.
