The rise in SUV popularity has presented challenges for smaller car segments like sedans and hatchbacks, requiring manufacturers to carefully consider their options based on market analysis to avoid making mistakes.
When an automaker decides to produce cars for this segment, it is crucial to get them right. Despite the fierce competition in the sedan market, some models stand out while others fall short.
The Peugeot 508 has taken an ambitious approach with its recent redesign, now featuring five doors that significantly enhance its appearance.
This low-slung coupe is not afraid to make a statement on the road, proudly claiming the title of a fastback, a term typically associated with iconic models like the Jaguar E-type and Ford Mustang. In a highly competitive market, this car must maintain its edge.
Built on the EMP platform, the new Peugeot 508 has managed to reduce its weight by 70 kg (155 lbs), bringing it down to 1,420 kg (3,200 pounds). Equipped with a 1.6-liter petrol engine, it delivers power to the front wheels through an eight-speed Aisin automatic transmission.
It is safe to say that this vehicle seamlessly combines style with performance, providing a thrilling driving experience.
