Since 2012, the 508 has been the flagship model by Peugeot, slotted above the 208 and 308 in size. The 508 serves as the successor to both the 407 and 607 model lines, replacing both vehicles under a single nameplate for which no direct replacement was scheduled.

PSA PF3 Platform
The PF3 Platform was developed by engineers at PSA Peugeot Citroën for large- and medium-sized cars with front wheel drive and transverse engine. The first car to use the PF3 platform was the 2001 Citroën C5. PSA PF3 was a global mid-size platform used by various models produced by Citroën and Peugeot. PSA began to use the new EMP2 platform (instead of the PF3 platform) for all future models in 2013, starting with the new Peugeot 308, except for collaborations with its partner Dongfeng for models specifically designed for the Chinese market. It was phased out in 2023 when production of the second-generation Citroën C6 ended.

Inline-four Engine
A straight-four engine (also referred to as an inline-four engine) is a four-cylinder piston engine where cylinders are arranged in a line along a common crankshaft. The majority of automotive four-cylinder engines use a straight-four layout (with the exceptions of the flat-four engines produced by Subaru and Porsche) and the layout is also very common in motorcycles and other machinery. Therefore the term "four-cylinder engine" is usually synonymous with straight-four engines. When a straight-four engine is installed at an inclined angle (instead of with the cylinders oriented vertically), it is sometimes called a slant-four. Between 2005 and 2008, the proportion of new vehicles sold in the United States with four-cylinder engines rose from 30% to 47%. By the 2020 model year, the share for light-duty vehicles had risen to 59%. Design A four-stroke straight-four engine always has a cylinder on its power stroke, unlike engines with fewer cylinders where there is no power st ...

Petrol Engine
A petrol engine (gasoline engine in American and Canadian English) is an internal combustion engine designed to run on petrol (gasoline). Petrol engines can often be adapted to also run on fuels such as liquefied petroleum gas and ethanol blends (such as '' E10'' and '' E85''). They may be designed to run on petrol with a higher octane rating, as sold at petrol stations. Most petrol engines use spark ignition, unlike diesel engines which run on diesel fuel and typically use compression ignition. Another key difference to diesel engines is that petrol engines typically have a lower compression ratio. History The first practical petrol engine was built in 1876 in Germany by Nicolaus August Otto and Eugen Langen, although there had been earlier attempts by Étienne Lenoir in 1860, Siegfried Marcus in 1864 and George Brayton in 1873. Design Thermodynamic cycle Most petrol engines use either the four-stroke Otto cycle or the two-stroke cycle. Petrol engines have also ...
