Last year, the sales of French cars in China seemed to be "majestic reappearance", mainly due to the launch of Citroën's Versailles C5 X, which once again captured the hearts of consumers with the image of a low-cost and high-end mid-level sedan. It's just that the "brother" model, the Peugeot 508L, is not so lucky, still the sales are mediocre, and it has not attracted too much attention from domestic car purchases.

However, according to overseas new car information, the Peugeot 508 is about to be updated. The new car logo has been replaced, the appearance has been slightly adjusted, and the battery pack capacity of the plug-in hybrid model has been increased, and it is expected to be officially unveiled in the first quarter of 2023.

Judging from the pictures obtained so far, the front face of the new car is still extremely aggressive, not only replacing the new Peugeot logo, but also changing the forward grille to a dot matrix diffusion shape. At the same time, the fangs LED headlights have also been retained. Together, the front face of peugeot's new 508 is sharper.
The styling on the sides doesn't look like much has changed, but a shield-shaped Peugeot logo has also been added to the front fenders, reminiscent of a supercar brand.
While we don't currently have a picture of the rear of the new car, we expect the rear of the car to change little. It is still a family-style lion's claw taillight, with a black trim that runs through, so that the tail of the vehicle has a certain degree of recognition.
In terms of power, according to the powertrain of the current PSA Group models, the fuel version of the model should maintain the status quo, that is, 1.6T+6AT and 1.8T+8AT two sets of power combinations. According to relevant information, the new car will increase the battery pack capacity to 13.2kWh, and the pure electric driving mileage is expected to be about 60km.

In fact, the domestic Peugeot 508L failed to become a hit, and the Report Xiaobian believes that the main reason is that the car has not been introduced into the country originally. In particular, the cancellation of the borderless doors of the overseas version of the model has disappointed consumers, after all, the models at the same price on the market do not have the shape of the borderless doors. If you can add a bezelless door the next time you enter the Peugeot 508, I believe it will attract more consumers' attention.
