Peugeot’s freshly chiselled, extra-stylish, premium-feeling assault on the bottom end of the European executive car market - manifested as it is by the current Peugeot 508 - has now been romping on since 2018.

In its best years, it made the 508 one of Europe’s top ten best-selling junior executive saloons, competing - at least a little bit - with the mighty BMW 3-Series, Mercedes C-Class, Audi A4 and more.

Crucially, it’s still romping. While rivals like the Ford Mondeo, Vauxhall Insignia, Toyota Avensis, Renault Laguna and more have long since given up the good fight that mainstream brands have been variously holding up, for decades, against the advancing BMW, Mercedes, Volvo - and now Tesla - Peugeot’s commitment to present itself as a credible rival to the established premium marques continues.
