And the 508 is closer to a 5-series when talking about size.

9:40 I recently had a BMW Dealer explain to me the reason you have to press a button to open the fuel tank on PHEVs. When your car/fuel tank gets hot some of the petrol becomes a gas. In normal cars when starting the engine that gas is safely burned, but PHEVs can drive without the engine running. Therefor they have a pressurised fuel tank. It is on all PHEVs and when you get a normal petrol/diesel 508 it will not have that button.

Cruise control is in the same place on all Peugeot’s and works perfectly. Just lower a finger to activate it. Too many people want to look at controls to use them thus not look at the road. But I prefer the 3008/5008 interior with the raised touchscreen as you can still see the road but, you never point out on any Peugeot icockpit review that the sat nav can also be displayed in the centre of the dash between rev counter and speedo. Makes it really easy to use while looking ahead.
