Peugeot 508 PSE interior
Peugeot 508 PSE brings the wow-factor and is generously equipped, but the infotainment system could be more responsive
Style
Trust the French to absolutely nail the look and feel of the 508 PSE’s interior. The standard car already provides a solid foundation, with its strong focus on plush materials and soft-touch plastics, but this sporty version takes things a step further.
Vivid yellow/green stitching complements the dark leather and suede seat upholstery very nicely, while glossy black and silver trim finishers really give the cabin an upmarket look. The stepped dash design, which sees the air vents and digital instrument binnacle positioned a level above the infotainment system, adds to the car’s enveloping, sporting feel too.
It’s a bold design for sure, but also one that makes sure all of the car’s important buttons and switches are still within easy reach of the driver’s seat. Everything feels well screwed together too, which is always a good thing.

Infotainment
As a range-topping performance model, the 508 PSE gets a lot of infotainment tech as standard. The 10in touchscreen is packed with useful features such as satellite navigation, Bluetooth connectivity and DAB radio. It’s used to display the feed from the 360-degree parking cameras, and can mirror your smartphone thanks to the inclusion of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
The graphics are sharp, and the display is easy to read; but it can sometimes take a bit of time to respond to your inputs. Still, it’s a pretty easy system to operate. Those piano key-style shortcut buttons that run along the bottom border are a big help in this respect, although we’d still like to see physical dials for the dual-zone climate control system.
You get a wireless charging pad for your smartphone, and there are handy USB ports in both rows. The high-end Focal sound system is also really impressive, and is a great way of masking the road noise created by those big 20-inch alloys.
