I have a 508 sw in a grey/light blue metallic and I love it Especially as its "only" the Allure! But best of all its always the only one in the car park like it. Quite often I see people walk or drive past it and turn round to take a second or third look. Kinda makes my day . So thatnk you Tish - you're a star in the making
I love the 508 estate and it really is one of the best, if not the best looking estate car on sale. I almost bought one last year but opted for a DS 7 which was heavily reduced.
There is no doubt that the 508 is one of the best looking estates around!! Glad you’re lovely your Peugeot
Hi Tish love your video. I bought a 508sw pse about 2months ago. It's a brilliant car I'm very happy with it. I wanted something a bit different and out of the ordinary. I use it every day and feel a bit special driving it. The performance is amazing. I am 58 yrs old and feel like a boy racer again , it's so much fun.
Do you find your car is economical? I heard that this is car is not economical at all.
Great review Tish. It's a grand looking car.
These are over €70,000 in Ireland, which is an outrageous price for a Peugeot. Though, we pay Vehicle Registration Tax (VRT) here, which pushes the car prices right up.
Unfortunately €70,000 isn’t an unusual amount of money to pay for a special car in Ireland anymore, especially the way the prices have inflated recently. But look at this car, easily one of the best looking cars around. I saw one these the other day at a fuel station and couldn’t take my eyes off it 😍😍😍
It does put another barrier up for considering one 😖
I never thought a Peugeot was a good car but that looks amazing
Same
Why? I mean there are some bad cars like the 107,3008 2009 and 1007.But most of other cars are beautiful with great interiors and pretty reliable
One of the most beautiful cars ever
I agree, I have new Peugeot content coming this Saturday 👀
I love the way the car looks and the way Peugeot are going about their brand these days, but man that price is steeeep
If they could lower the price I think Peugeot would have a winner on their hands
I think so too but unfortunately with everything going electric is just getting more and more expensive
So hot! ❤️ . The cars great too!
Hahaha thanks
Please visit the Peugeot owners forum before even considering buying one. There are so many unhappy hybrid & plug in hybrid Peugeot owners of various models complaining it should make you think twice before ordering one. As for the Alcon brakes, hope they have fixed the calliper design issue that has affected the 308 GTI & RCZ equipped with Alcon brakes. If you do still buy one, get rid before the 3 year manufacturers warranty runs out. Panoramic sunroof no chance after seeing multiple complaints of the in built shower feature 3008 & 5008 owners are lumbered with that Peugeot still cant fix with them.
😬😬😬 thank you for sharing
Not true
I love the look of the 508, Peugeot really did get the looks spot on. The pse offers some great power, I've driven the 3008 gt hybrid4, similar set up but with 295bhp. The power delivery is strange, it doesn't feel as quick as it actually is and the efficiency is a big bonus along with the performance. Great review as always tish
Thanks so much Eddie, you’re right they’re definitely don’t feel as quick as other cars with the same power or less. Probably down to the lack of noice
You're right. That light bar on the rear is fantastic. I love the Night Rider style light sequence
Happy birthday too!
It’s pretty awesome isn’t it 👏🏼 and thank you!
Tish is fit!
Thanks 😅😅
I can't understand why the majority of people prefer SUVs from other brands... But their choice of not buying these is our gain... I currently drive a 9th gen Civic and in a couple years time would probably be highly interested in upgrading to one of these for a fraction of the brand new price! Brilliant review Tish, actually sold me on one! 😅
Unfortunately the depreciation on Peugeot cars are massive compared to some other makes , and the long term reliability is questionable, better off with a Toyota plug in hybrid, excellent
reliability and good resale price and up to 10 years warranty , good review as always thanks 👍
You’re correct, it’s a shame
Toyota has nothing even remotely similar to this.
Could you give us some facts on this depreciation ?
@@gregrobins5615 This is from “Motorway”: “French carmakers all have examples of cars that perform badly for depreciation. For example, the Citroen C4 and Peugeot 308 hatchback are both competing against the VW Golf for new and second-hand sales, and do poorly as a result. Meanwhile, the Peugeot 508 family saloon has tried to take on the Audi A4 and BMW 3 series.
As a result, buying any of the trio would lose you around 75% of the value to depreciation over 3 years. The worst news is that you’d lose more than 60% at the end of the first 12 months alone. A new Citroen C4 1.2 Puretech costs £18,610 new, but would lose £11,260 by the end of the first year of ownership.”
I bought Peugeot 508 in 2016 for 7.000 EUR, now in 2022 my car cost 5.000 EUR. So i lose nothing in value of car.
I have to say, I love shaggin wagons… er… estates and this one is absolutely a stunner. I’m also looking for my next car to be a PHEV. This seems like a great car to start a family with.
At least worth a test drive!!!
I'll tell you why this isn't a big seller, despite looking the part. The 508 PSE SW 'starts at' £55k. For a Peugeot. I'm sure anyone thinking about spending that much money will, right ot wrong, look at the usual German brands first, because unfortunately, many people are just badge snobs.
For me at that sort of money I'd walk past all the German brands & go see what's available in the Lexus showroom.
Completely agree
Good morning Niece Tish.
I love the Peugeot 508 PSE, but I would buy a BMW 3er Touring PHEV, cos it’s cheaper to buy, more economical and is cheaper to insure.
Also, I’m disappointed that Peugeot isn’t making a 308 PSE cos of those eco mentalists in the European Commission making absurd emission regulations.
Another thing I wanna point out is that the 508 PSE isn’t available outside of Europe.
Thank you for watching Dave and sharing your thoughts! 💭
@@AutoSocialUK No problem niece Tish.
Ordered one on the basis of your fresh Ziggy review.
love this review tish yeah i would buy this car if i had money looks very good thanks for your review tish mate
Wouldn’t it be nice to have enough money to not worry!! That’s the dream
I would have preferred a 2 l engine with 400 horsepower, not hybrid car with tiny mileage I'm not sure... but fantastic review and fabulous looking Peugeot
Yer I agree, 355BHP is a tiny bit disappointing after you hear ‘most powerful production car’
The best plug in hybrid has to be the Toyota RAV4 plug in hybrid with 46 miles on electric only and just over 5 seconds 0 to 60 4wd and loads of luggage space and the biggest selling vehicle in North America maybe you could give your honest review of the rav4 and let us know what you think great honest review as always Thanks
Love your expression just before talking about the price. I really like these. I just can’t live with that cockpit / steering wheel
😬😬😬😬
I haven’t seen any on the road but another great review Tish
Once again a great thorough balance review Tish. This looks like a great company car option but as a private car purchase I agree with you It might not make sense if you are bothered about residuals. The sensible option would be to get one of these used but clearly you won't be able to decide on the options. I have to agree that the newer badge looks much better. If only people could look past the badge and appreciate a car for what it is.
It will be very interesting to see what they will go for after 3 years
I'd buy it if I could get it in the US!
Yes I can see it being popular there!
I agree a sports estate is the answer. looks better than the saloon, which still looks great.
This is the best looking estate on the market.
You can't compare this with a Passat, its far too boring, this Pug isn't
The interior looks good, until you look at the set up of the dash.
The silly tiny, not even round steering wheel is a deal breaker for me, awful to hold and manoeuvre.
If I set my seat how I like it, you can't see the dash, its awful. Its a marmite thing. I love marmite, hate the wheel
Shame, because I think its a great car.
Its too expensive, that's why no one is buying it, but a good showcase for future tech.
You're spot on about the badge, why do people still always opt for German, look outside the box, people!
Nice review again Tish
Awesome review (as always)
Thank you for watching Andy!
Totally agree with you on wagons/estates/shooting brakes over SUVs.
This 508 looks great as an estate but as a sedan is very meh.
508 PSE is £45,000 GBP here in Au (GT trim) is a bit rich tho.
I agree with you also. Nowadays, most SUVs are just taller and more expensive hatchbacks.
Also, I heard that you don’t get the 508 PSE in Ozzyland, but you get the regular 508 there.
If it was £45,000 here I think we would see lots more on the road!
@@AutoSocialUK True.
Lovely trousers tish..
Cheers Roger! Hope you’re well!
Amazing video tish once again
Think peugeot made a good looking estate love that colour to 👌🏾
Keep up the good work 🙂 x
Thank you! It is a very snazzy looking car!
Nice looking estate
🔥🔥
Great review, Love the comedy cut in’s
Thank you Raymond ☺️
All about BIK tax break with a hybrid. What a company car this would be! Top of my wish list
The kind of car Stellantis should bring to the US. Peugeot left the US market decades ago but perhaps a reintroduction with hybrids and EVs would build a market here.
Doubt that will happen due to US 🍋 laws, it would cost Peugeot a fortune.
It will definitely be interesting to see if they make a return
Great video, Tish! Interesting car, this - definitely intriguing as it’s something I’m not familiar with as an American. The only thing I know about it is that Novak Djokovic did some advertising for it. Overall not a bad looking car, but the green accents just look like a wannabe Porsche hybrid IMO.
Yer I know what you mean but strangely I a actually don’t like the green on the Porsche’s (can’t put my finger on what) but I quite like this
The price is high so many brands trying to go premium and it never seems to work the German brands are so established that everyone has missed the boat.
It’s a great looking car but the history of depreciation and reliability is going to make the going tough.
Yer it’s a real shame, it’s about 10k overpriced really to make it actually accessible
I'm a big SUV fan but this estate is lovely very nice looking car , love the colour 👌👍
What’s your favourite SUV John?
@@AutoSocialUK I have a 2019 Kia Sportage love it , hoping to get the new Kia Sportage or the mg HS exclusive with red leather interior, got 3 years PCP left on current Sportage so plenty time to decide , the mg HS is great value for money and more affordable on PCP than the new Sportage so probably be the mg HS exclusive it's beautiful 😍👌👍🏴
IMO a flashy car in looks, but cant compete with any opposition in that price bracket.
Great review. I see one of these every day on my school run. Same colour.Is the PSE only available in this colour?
Pearl black and Pearl white also avaible.
Holy uksociable G! I love this station wagon. The price a little to steep i recon.
i liked bouth The car and the leather pants 😍😁
In advenced driving school
They teach you to seat as high as you can for panoramic view so seating low is not recomended.
Yes I know I don’t sit in the best position
12:20 That sound! 🤗
Not bad for an ST 😂
Awful car and sound IMO.
Was it an ST and not an RS? 😂
Yep ST with an RS spoiler 😎 the RS never came in a 5dr variant
508 PSE or arteon R, which would you buy as a private buyer? That is my dilemma at the minute.. I can't decide
508
These look great and I do like the Peugeot cockpit. These seem very similar to the Volvo V60 Polestar Engineered. I prefer the saloons of both though but very good looking cars, I wouldn’t buy the Germans
Dunno why people care so much what other people think or if they look at their car. Personally, I buy a car because I like it don't care much what it like looks to others.
Sure, some people are a lot... others not at all. I would be lying if I said I didn't care what other people thought of my car a little bit
Owned 2 Peugeots…never ever again..enjoyed the review though
Not sure on the car...but like the colour 👍
Yer you can’t beat a nice grey
It’s too expensive, £55k is a lot of money. I think Peugeot are moving into this space too early and don’t have the reputation to back up the price tag. The depreciation on these will be crazy and would be better to wait a few years, I bet you can pick one up for a decent price used.
Overpriced, build quality still bad, same window switches as my van. Love the design but UK buyers will avoid im afraid.
Completely understand but I actually found quality pretty decent
Looks like a big yacht
😂😂
Your channel is good. I quite fancy making car reviews. Do you manage to make a living from this and how many subs did you need before dealers would give you cars?
Hi Hector, it really does take a lot of time and effort. I still can’t do this full time but it’s a nice passive income. As long as you build good relationships with dealers, you can gain the cars pretty early on.
It looks really nice from the outside. But that interior and cockpit is just too weird spaceship for my taste.
It does take some getting used to
Seen on in traffic last week thought wtf is that looks nice
It is very intriguing
I’d love one but the company hr would probably pass out when they saw over 50k 😂
Hahaha you don’t know if you don’t ask 😉
Over £50k no chance, their cars don’t have longevity, after three years things will break especially electrical related, and parts are expensive, and depreciation, let’s not go there. Thumb’s up for the video!
I will be interested to see what they’re on the market for in 3 years
I thought for a second you said it was £55k.
£55k auto trader have a few at £48k, one at £46k, more like it.
Yes easier to swallow
If we import this in India, the prices will cross 200k dollars 🤣🤣
Superb car, but too big, and expensive for me. I read somewhere that Peugeot interiors are better than the VW groups these days
I would care to agree with that!
Of course they are. They are comparable to cars like BMW, Mercedes these days
Focus RS -= Chav
Hahahahha yep
6:57 omg that reflective piano black finish is an instant total turn off for me. I would never spend so much money to be constantly blinded by reflections. WHY do car manufacturers think this is a good thing!?
Such a shame isn’t it!!!! Especially when you have that section to put your phone in but you have to press it
Way too expensive that's why it's not selling. Far too many alternatives available from so called 'premium' manufacturers. The only way to sell this is for it to significantly undercut premium competitors whilst offering a better package. It's why so many bread and butter manufacturers are abandoning sectors like this.
It’s almost like they only wanted to produce a few
its too expensive for peugeout and for 3-5 years it will worth as used less then some škoda Octavia
put that engine in the 308 and you may have something
Too expensive, too heavy and the switchgear is too quicky
It’s not Wantable .

An enjoyable review of a very expensive ugly car.
Expensive…. Yes…. But ugly? 😱
@@AutoSocialUK It is just not attractive to me. I feel that it will not age well and I cannot see it ever becoming a 30 year old classic. But that is just my opinion.
Over priced
Yes it is 🙊
First
Thank you for watching Brayden
@@AutoSocialUK your very welcome tish!
Perhaps because Peugeot reliability is not the greatest. Or simply because it's French and people are getting tired of French anti British attitudes. You are wasted on this car!
