The Peugeot 508 is the largest sedan in the current lineup of the French brand. A style update is currently in development, and this spy shot is our first look at the changes.
The camouflage on the nose seems to hide the new design for the headlights. They appear narrower, but the vertical sections on the outer edges are still present. A wide trapezoidal inlet occupies the lower fascia. The body wrap completely hides the grille, so it’s impossible to notice the styling changes.

Along the sides, one of these cars has an antenna next to the B-pillar. A small circular device is on the roof. These pieces might hint at the 508 having some mechanical adjustments. If the team is just making aesthetic changes, this equipment doesn’t seem necessary.
There is more camo on the rear deck. The taillights have a new graphic, but the cover hides whether there have been any changes to the shape.
The gallery also includes one image of 508 wagons. As with the four doors, there are changes to the nose and taillights.
There are no photos in this vehicle. Our spies report that the infotainment system is new and has an updated interface. Adjustments to the cabin trim are also possible.
Following the launch of the latest generation 508, Peugeot launched the Sport Engineered performance model. It has a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder with two electric motors. The total system output is 355 horsepower (265 kilowatts) and 384 pound-feet (520 Newton-meters) of torque. This model reaches 62 miles per hour (100 kilometers per hour) in 5.2 seconds and has an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph (250 kph). The 11.5 kilowatt-hour battery provides 26 miles of electric range in the WLTP evaluation.
Some time after FCA and PSA merged to become Stellantis, rumors emerged of Peugeot’s return to the United States. The 508 is reportedly among the products that will be part of the American lineup.
However, Stellantis changed his strategy. Instead, the company decided to focus on developing Alfa Romeo in the US, rather than trying to launch a new brand in the country.
