Peugeot 508 HYbrid4

Peugeot has opened the order books for its next two models that make use of its diesel hybrid drivetrain as first featured in the 3008 HYbrid4.
The new 508 HYbrid4 saloon and 508 RXH estate car both combine a 2.0 litre HDi 163 diesel engine to power the front wheels with a 37bhp electric motor to drive the rear wheels.

Revealing the pricing and specification for the new models, Peugeot expects that the two new models will have keen business appeal thanks in part to the cars being exempt to the usual 3% diesel car supplement in business car tax. With a hybrid powertrain, the 508 saloon and 508 RXH qualify for a 10% and 12% benefit-in-kind tax rate. They also both benefit from a 100% write-down allowance for the first year.
With 200bhp, the 508 saloon hybrid emits as little as 95g/km CO2 and achieves excellent fuel economy of 78.5 mpg (combined). The larger RXH also has a combined power of 200bhp, and emits a smidgen more at 107g/km CO2 and achieves 68.9mpg combined cycle. Prices start from £31,450 and £33,695 respectively.

The 508 Saloon HYbrid4 carries a comprehensive specification similar to the well-specified 508 Allure. Features include 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 designed to be a top-of-the-range, premium specification vehicle that has features over and above the 508 Saloon HYbrid4. Available only in the SW estate body style, it features 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 models benefit from four-wheel drive thanks to their dual powertrain set-up.
Both models are available to order now for UK customers, with the 508 RXH on sale from May, and the 508 Saloon HYbrid4 from July 2012.
