SAFETY
The Peugeot 508 provides a high level of active and passive safety, offering optimum protection without compromising driving enjoyment.
Bi-Xenon headlamps
The 508 can be equipped with directional bi-Xenon headlamps (standard, optional or not available depending on the version) offering: - a modern and positive LED visual signature - adaptive main-beam headlamps - directional function.
Adaptive main beam headlamps
The main beam assistance system (standard, optional or not available, depending on the version) detects oncoming traffic and will automatically switch the headlights from high beam to main beam and back again for the on-coming driver's visual comfort and your enhanced safety. This option is only available in conjunction with bi-Xenon headlights.
Road holding
Peugeot has always set the standard in terms of road holding and, consequently, driving enjoyment. At the front, two types of suspension are available: - The all-new McPherson-type front axle offers a new, high level synthesis of road holding and ride comfort. - The 508 GT features a drop link dual wishbone front axle enabling a high level of body rigidity and driving accuracy. At the rear, the entire range is equipped with a multi-arm rear suspension, designed to ensure excellent efficiency and maximum comfort.
ESP
The 508 is fitted with the latest-generation ESP, which includes DSC (dynamic stability control), EBA (emergency brake assist) and EBD (electronic brake force distribution). It also includes Hill Assist as well as intelligent traction control improving the vehicle's ability to move off and be driven on slippery road surfaces by authorising more or less wheel slip on each of the front wheels.
Airbags
In the event of a collision, 6 airbags provide passengers with a high degree of protection: 2 front airbags, 2 side airbags at the front and 2 curtain airbags front and back.
5-star safety
The European New Car Assessment Program (Euro NCAP) assesses the safety levels of every new car. The 508 achieved 5 stars in the adult occupant protection tests, the highest level possible and proof of Peugeot's continued commitment to your safety.
