The Peugeot 508 looks even better as a property that makes it as a saloon and highly detailed style will appeal to anyone who wants highlights of the current crop of conservative family cars, including Volkswagen Passat and Ford Mondeo. The interior is also a revelation, with a touch of quality to all the switches, and a sleek design and intuitive. Access entry models to do with the wheels of steel, yet are equipped with air conditioning and electric windows all around. SR models add 17-inch alloys, cruise control and dual zone climate control, while above specifications expensive GT models get satellite navigation, heated leather seats and a panoramic sunroof.
Environmental efficiency was a key concern since the beginning of the project, initially, the optimization of the aerodynamics of the car (Cx from 0.25 to 0.58 SCX!) And weight reduction compared to the 407 (despite the increase in the size and specifications). Under the hood, the benefits of the Peugeot 508 engine has an output of Exit 82 to 150 kW (112 to 204 hp). Each one is positioned well in category, both in terms of fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, but also in terms of performance and responsiveness This range, which starts with CO2 emissions of 109 g / km with the new system of e-HDi, eventually include HYbrid4 technology, with a potential of 147 kW (200 hp) and 4-wheel drive from only 99 g / km of CO2. 2011 Peugeot 508 SW Review
Unsurprisingly, the diesels are the best performers when it comes to economy. The one.6-litre e-HDi - which comes with start and cease as standard - returns the range's best figures of 62.8mpg and 110g/km of C02. Yet even the largest two.2-litre unit is Surprisingly economic management, combined 47.8mpg and 154g/km.Ahybrid model is the rule throughout next year, with a diesel-electric drivetrain able to producing 200bhp and emitting less than 100g/km.
The car is also designed to offer a high level of security among the best in the segment. Its high-performance folding structure includes shock absorbers in front of the beam, which also allows the reduction of the lengthof the overhang. Again, the safety benefits of the significant reduction in total vehicle weight. The Peugeot 508 is equipped with adequate means of constraint: two front airbags, 2 front side airbags, 2 curtain airbags, Isofix fittings with 2 of 3 points on the back. The front seats have new "curve" with integral headrests multi-position adjustment, the shape has been carefully studied to take into account the effects of the collision (whiplash). The Peugeot 508 was released this year, so we still do not know how well it will cope in the long term. 2011 Peugeot 508 SW Review – otomodification
