Pretty soon we'll all be zipping around in self-driving, self-charging taxi pods. Before we do, we'll keep peeking into the future through the high-powered lens of concept cars.

Peugeot has revealed the next-gen 508 ahead of next month's Geneva Auto Show, showing off a lower and more compact coupe-inspired sedan. The sportier five-door fastback is promised to bring better aerodynamics to the D-class segment, and packs the automaker's future-focused safety tech onboard.
