Peugeot Sport 508 PSE Late Brake Show full review. Is Peugeot's most powerful car also the best performance family PHEV on sale in 2021? Peugeot's new 508 PSE PHEV 4WD isn't just their most powerful production car ever, but also a handsome, luxurious and practical one too. This flagship is officially named the (deep breath) 508 PSE SW Hybrid4 360 e-EAT8 4WD and, in simple terminology, it is a plug-in hybrid 360PS (355hp) family estate with AWD and the ability to combine all power for 0-62 in 5.2 secs, or drive electric only for 26 miles.

In a world where SUVs get less useful, crossovers blend into one another and many people still fear a full EV, how many cars can tick the box of driving electric only, having a decent sized boot, feeling frisky like a GTI of old, and not get stolen off your drive (we're looking at you Audi RS4)? Jonny tries to explore all of the 508 PSE's features without getting too bogged down in the £54k price tag, and it seems to be clear that Peugeot's mojo is returning with more swagger than ever.
