PEUGEOT 508

Exterior Design

Looking for a car with 5 door coupe design but with all of the features of a saloon? The 508 Fastback is the vehicle for you. Sleek, muscular and with an athletic body, the 508 Fastback styling features a bold front-end design incorporating Peugeot’s signature LED headlights. The LED headlights have self-levelling and static cornering to help you drive on even the darkest of roads. The long thin LED daytime running lights that act as front indicators too. You’ll notice the 508 Fastback logo takes pride of place above the finely detailed and chequered black gloss chrome grill.

As you move around to the rear to the hatchback style tailgate you will notice the signature claw effect rear lights. The rear lights are connected across the back with a black gloss to match the black of the lights, forming a full line effect. A ‘welcome sequence’ display across the LED lights begins upon unlocking the vehicle (from GT LINE level). The rear LED lights offer a daytime running function, with responsive technology that reacts to the surrounding lighting conditions with altered brightness. Along the body of the vehicle, you will find gloss black detailing on the door mirror shells and window surround. Below the wing mirror, you’ll see a stylish sharp crease flowing down the profile of this elegant car, drawing your eye along to the rear light cluster. The frameless doors, front and rear, offer a sleek look, whilst thicker glass offers a quieter and more relaxing drive for all. You can even open the panoramic glass roof to let the outside in, or leave it closed and simply allow the extensive natural light to brighten the internal cabin.
