The make-up operation implemented for the second generation takes the qualities of the Peugeot 508 product range one step higher.
The 508, which is on the road with its second generation in its 13-year adventure in the Peugeot product range, has switched to its current version as of 2018. The make-up operation that we have been waiting for a while for the sedan model, which successfully represents the brand’s highly acclaimed design language in its segment, has finally been realized. The nuances that leave all members of the family greet us for the new Peugeot 508, which was often caught on camera during the development process. The French manufacturer’s racing car concept, the 9X8, surprised by reflecting the design elements. It will be attractive.
Important details to come with the new Peugeot 508
With the 508, which can be preferred with two different body types, sedan and SW, the brand’s new logo greets us. In addition to the noticeable changes in the front section, color wheel sets will also play a vital role in completing the family’s design lines. The dimensional dynamics of the 508 product range, which comes with a stretching luggage capacity of 487 liters in the sedan version and up to 530 liters in the SW body type, are largely the same. The main difference here is that we will see it on Sport Engineered. Along with the sporty touches on the body panels, minor dimensional differences are noted in this version.
On the make-up side, we can see that the cockpit has also undergone revisions. In these dynamics, the elements of the new generation i-Cockpit will be waiting for the users with its 10-inch multimedia screen and 12-inch driver panel. In addition to these, night vision support, which we know from other members of the group, is also included in the 508 product range. Thanks to this system, details such as bicycles, pedestrians and animals are detected in a healthier way during night driving. Adaptive cruise control with stop-start support, lane tracking assistants and parking aids that support second-level autonomous driving will also be offered in the 508. The statement on the reflection of the reinforcements that Peugeot has made in the infrastructure architecture, on the driving side, draws our attention in particular.
Under the hood of the family, the options we are accustomed to will continue on the road. The 1.2-liter petrol engine at the entry level continues with 130 horsepower and 230 Nm of torque. The 130 hp 1.5 liter diesel engine will also find its place in the 508 product range. The top of the product range on the engine side will be the rechargeable hybrid option. In this version, which reaches up to 225 hp, a 180 hp subcombination seems to become an object of desire for many. An electric driving range of 65 kilometers is expected in the rechargeable hybrid option, where the 12.4 kWh battery pack is positioned. On the engine and performance side, the top of the family will be the “PLUG-IN HYBRID4 360”, which offers four-wheel power transmission. The SPORT ENGINEERED package, which features the integrated combination of a gasoline and 81 kW electric motor producing 200 horsepower at the front, and a second 83 kW electric motor used in the PEUGEOT 9X8 race car at the rear, is a candidate to be one of the most exciting versions of recent times.
