The Peugeot 508 RXH and 508 Saloon HYbrid4 both utilise the latest modular hybrid technology introduced as a world first on the 3008 HYbrid4. They combine the accomplished 2.0-litre HDi 163 Diesel engine to power the front wheels with a 37bhp electric motor to drive the rear wheels. This innovative modular solution is now being applied to the larger platform 508 vehicles that enhance overall driving pleasure and product versatility.

While the 508 RXH is a bespoke derivative with a distinctive appearance, high-end appeal and capable as an all-route vehicle, the 508 Saloon HYbrid4 uses its hybrid powertrain to optimise driving performance, economy and versatility but both benefit from the lowest-in-sector taxation, too.

The 508 Saloon HYbrid4 carries a comprehensive specification similar to the well-specified 508 Allure but with the dynamic benefits of the HYbrid4 technology. Features like keyless entry with Stop/Start button, cruise control with speed limiter, automatic parking brake with Hill Assist, automatic dual-zone air conditioning, electric folding door mirrors, Peugeot Connect Navigation (RT6) with Bluetooth, Peugeot Connect SOS and Assistance, automatic headlamps and wipers, 18” alloy wheels and half leather seats are all standard equipment.

The 508 RXH is a distinctive, top-of-the-range, premium specification vehicle that has features over and above the 508 Saloon HYbrid4.  Exclusively available in the SW estate body style, and combined with the HYbrid4 powertrain, it has a raised stance, original style features and bespoke 18” Attila alloy wheels. Other features include front and rear parking aid and parallel parking assist, panoramic glass roof, Colour Head Up display, USB point and acoustic laminated side windows with tint on rear.

Both 508s feature the innovative diesel-electric HYbrid4 technology that brings new levels of driving freedom and pleasure, in a form not seen before in the segment:

• 200bhp combined output
• Four-wheel drive
• ZEV (100% electric and silent running) mode
• Very low CO₂ emissions of 95g/km (508 Saloon HYbrid4) / 107g/km (508 RXH)

Both models are available to order, with the 508 RXH on sale from May, and the 508 Saloon HYbrid4 from July 2012.
