More details on new Peugeot 508 emerge

Guided by the search for perfectly balanced and streamlined contours, the style of 508 has a solidity that reflects the aspirations of elegance, robustness and high quality. At the front, 508 illustrates the development of the Marque’s latest stylistic codes first unveiled on the SR1 concept car, with a single grille rendered in a “floating” style and piercing headlamps with a particularly marked visual expression, like its “LED tubes” visible both by day and by night.

Similarly, at the rear, three red ‘claws’ mask three rows of LEDs on the Saloon. The SW has a more composite feel, with a red band that lights up when the rear lights are activated.

The simple and elegant style of the fascia, the materials chosen, the meticulous finish, the durability and the technologies deployed (colour “head-up display”, four-zone air conditioning, “keyless” entry and start-up) add to the exclusive ambience of the passenger compartment.

Weight, aerodynamics and of course the PSA Group’s technological expertise and innovation in terms of both HDi FAP diesel, VTi and THP petrol engines, are factors which place the 508 among the leaders in its segment in every power category according to Peugeot.

The petrol range consists of:
1.6 litre VTi 120bhp; 160Nm, EGC 6-speed
1.6 litre THP 156bhp, 240Nm, 6-speed manual
1.6 litre THP 156bhp, 240Nm, 6-speed automatic
