The Peugeot 508 is a large family car launched in 2010 by French automaker Peugeot. It replaces the Peugeot 407 as well as the larger Peugeot 607, for which no more direct replacement is scheduled. It shares its platform and most engine options with the second-generation Citroën C5: the two cars are produced alongside one another at the company's Rennes Plant, and in Wuhan, China for sales inside China. The 508 sedan is 4.79 m (189 in) long, while the 508 SW (station wagon) is 4.81 m (189 in) long.
A concept "hybrid-power" car prefiguring the style of the future 508 coupe, called the 5 by Peugeot was presented at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2010. Sources reported that 5 by Peugeot would go on sale in 2012.
PSA Peugeot Citroën will build the 508 in China in partnership with Dongfeng Motor, and plans to sell 65,000 units locally in 2012. A mid-2011 release is expected.
