Service interval 30 000 km or 1-2 years depending on conditions and market.

The HYbrid4 version pairs a 2.0 HDi diesel with a rear electric motor for four-wheel drive and short pure-electric running. Official combined consumption sits at 4.1 l/100 km with CO2 near 107 g/km. real-world figures rise with load or sport mode but stay competitive for a heavy AWD estate. Later BlueHDi 180 versions use conventional diesel with similar economy claims around 4.6 l/100 km combined.
Routine servicing follows a 30 000 km or annual/biennial schedule under normal use, shortening to 20 000 km in severe conditions. Timing belt and water pump are due around 150 000 km or 10 years. AdBlue top-ups apply on later diesels. Peugeot service contracts cover scheduled maintenance and can include roadside assistance.
Crash protection is strong: the 508 platform earned a full five-star Euro NCAP result. Every RXH carries six airbags, full ESP suite with emergency brake assist and electronic brake-force distribution, tyre-pressure monitoring, Isofix points and automatic emergency call. Active aids such as cruise control with limiter and parking sensors are standard. higher packs add blind-spot monitoring.
Living with the car means accepting a complex hybrid system whose battery pack is claimed to last up to 15 years, plus raised ride height that softens potholes but adds body lean. Boot space is reduced on the hybrid to roughly 400 litres because of the battery under the floor. the pure-diesel RXH keeps more. Regular dealer checks keep the dual powertrain and multi-link suspension in good order.
