Diesel-electric hybrid and distinctive appeal, Peugeot continues its upmarket trend
Diesel-electric hybrid and distinctive high-end appeal combine to offer an original view of the world of all-road vehicles with enhanced driving pleasures: that is the new Peugeot 508 RXH.

It embodies for Peugeot a modern and unparalleled upmarket trend. Its style and its innovative HYbrid4 technology provide features that allow it to combine new levels of driving freedom and pleasure in a form not seen before in the segment:
- 200 bhp;
- four-wheel drive;
- ZEV – 100% electric mode;
- CO2 emissions from to 107 g/km.

After the successful launch of the 508 Saloon and SW in Spring 2011, where they were highly acclaimed for their styling elegance, on-the-road presence, high level build quality and attention to detail, the 508 RXH further elevates the profile of the entire Peugeot brand reinforcing its technological and environmental prowess.

The 508 RXH has a road presence and specific design that immediately places it in the environment of top-level all road vehicles. Unique, refined, higher riding and wider, it is also distinguished by a singular visual identity, characterised by its distinctive LED day time running lights visible both at day and night, to give it an impression of having three vertical “lion claws” on each side of its “floating” grille, the combined style of which is all the more striking.

To reinforce its exclusive character, the interior of the 508 RXH benefits from special features with distinctive colours and uses luxurious materials, with its premium quality interior and trimmed upholstery.

Its unique level of finish and equipment is coherent with the top-of-the-range and technological positioning of the vehicle. Richly equipped as standard (with Open & Go system, electric front seats, Head up Display, 18” wheels, panoramic glass roof, dark-tinted acoustic laminated side windows, latest generation audio and satellite navigation unit) it welcomes its occupants with care, refinement and a high level of comfort features.

Equipped with the 2.0 l HDi FAP HYbrid4 drive train, a world first when featured in the 3008 HYbrid4, the diesel-electric full hybrid powertrain in the 508 RXH extends driving freedom and pleasure to traverse all roadways. With a maximum power of 147 kW (200 bhp), four-wheel drive and a maximum torque of 450 Nm, the 508 RXH has been designed to adapt to all applications, in a wide spectrum of conditions. Furthermore, it opens up new perspectives in the segment, offering a ZEV (100% electric) mode, ideal for driving in town and for reducing consumption in the Combined Drive Cycle to less than 4.1 l/100 km (68.8 mpg), with emissions of 107 g/km of CO2.

After the 3008 HYbrid4, the Peugeot Marque continues its innovative strategy, combining enhanced driving sensations and advanced environmental developments, by extending HYbrid4 technology to other models.

The 508 RXH, on display at the Geneva Motor Show 2012, will go on sale in Spring 2012.
