2011 Peugeot 508
The Peugeot 508, which will be introduced at the Paris Motor Show this October, continues the three-digit tradition set by the 40 series and 50 series sedans. The 508’s design resembles the SR1 Concept car, and features a new high-tech interior and high quality finish. The 508 will be offered with a new array of petrol, diesel and hybrid engines. Potential buyers will appreciate the new technologies offered with the car.
The list includes Peugeot’s e-HDi system, which is basically a new-generation stop/start system with better driveability and economy. The carmaker also has plans to build a HYbrid4 version with a 147kW diesel and all-wheel drive potential and CO2 emissions of only 99 g/km. Similar to past Peugeots, the suspension has been set up for both high comfort levels and roadholding.
And just like the 407, the 508 will be offered as a sedan and wagon (dubbed as the SW). The sedan, which measures at 4790mm, is 99mm longer than the 407 while the 4810mm long SW is 45mm longer. The 508 is based on PSA-Peugeot Citroen’s platform 3 shared with the Citroen C5. Production of the 508 will be in Rennes-La-Janais, in France, for the European market.
