This range-topping version is a performance-focused plug-in hybrid with a whopping 355bhp and a 0-62mph time of just 5.2 seconds. The official electric range is 34 miles. So far we’ve only driven this model in the 508 SW estate version of this car. It's far too expensive to recommend.

1.6 Hybrid4 360

Hatchback

Peugeot has its strongest model line-up for some years, with some of its cars now rated by our testers as being among the very best available.

Highlights focus around the firm’s newest SUVs, the 3008 and 5008. The 5008 was named Large SUV of the Year at the 2018 What Car? Awards, thanks to its appealing blend of space, interior quality and low running costs.

That bodes well for future launches, too, because many of the learnings from these cars will be passed on as new versions of existing cars are launched – something that could take many years, because the Peugeot range is so big, ranging from an entry-level supermini with the 108 to an executive saloon with the 508, up into the SUV range and also vans.

Buyers should evaluate some of the lower-rated cars in the range more carefully, though. Some are now quite old, and are subsequently left behind in terms of quality when compared with the opposition, making them below-average buys, in our estimation.

PEUGEOT

This range-topping performance-focused version of the 508 gets 20in alloys and an upgraded sound system, but most of the upgrades are to do with the performance on offer. Still, it is far too expensive to recommend.

Peugeot 508

The Peugeot 508 has a well-finished interior and comes with a decent amount of equipment as standard, but plenty of rivals are more practical and better to drive. We recommend the Allure trim and the entry-level engine – unless you're a company car driver, in which case one of the plug-in hybrid options will be more cost-effective.

<h2>What we're looking for:</h2><ul><li>Effortless long-distance capability</li> <li>Strong standard specification</li> <li>Low running costs</li> <li>Comfortable driving position</li> <li>Comprehensive yet easy-to-use infotainment system</li></ul>

Executive cars are often the choice of company car drivers, so factors such as CO2 emissions (which govern your monthly tax bill) are just as important as cruising refinement for those long motorway journeys, a plush cabin and (whisper it) the image of the badge on the bonnet.

The good news is that there are options for all budgets and tastes.
