09 Jun 2018|3,052 views
Peugeot has unveiled the all new SW version of the 508, bringing a new sense of style to the highly competitive estate car market. Rewriting all the design cues in the segment, the all new 508 SW brings the radical styling traits of the saloon to the estate car.
At just 1,420mm in height and 4,780mm long, the all new 508 SW's new proportions give it an extremely dynamic body shape, stylised by smooth, flowing lines and a sleek, low roof.
The striking design is enhanced further by exterior details, including frameless doors (a unique estate car feature for a mainstream carmaker), full LED head lights and the vertical visual signature of the opalescent LED daytime running lights.
The interior of the 508 SW adds to the quality and stylish design of the car whilst also maximising in-car comfort for driver and passengers. It features ergonomic, wrap-around seats offering five multi-point massage programmes, a range of premium and sophisticated trim and upholstery materials and a panoramic opening glass roof.
With the aid of the Magic Flat function, allowing the driver to fold back the two sides of the rear bench seat, the 508 SW is never short of space, boasting a total load space capacity of 1,780 litres. Of this total volume, 530 litres comes from the boot (with luggage cover closed), designed to be simple in shape and entirely practical, with hands-free, powered tailgate.
The driver of the all new 508 SW will never be far from the latest in automotive technology. Alongside the latest generation Peugeot i-Cockpit, providing all the information essential for the road ahead, the driver can enjoy the latest in-car sound system with a top of the range hi-fi system designed by Focal.
With 10 loud speakers fitted with exclusive Focal technology, this system provides pure, fine sound that is perfectly distributed throughout the car.
Technological advances also come into play to provide a wide range of latest generation driving aids ensuring the all new 508 SW meets Euro NCAP criteria. New features for the range include Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go function, Lane Keeping Assist and a Night Vision system - a first for the segment. This system utilises an infra-red camera to detect living beings in front of the vehicle at night time or in low-visibility conditions to maximise safety.
The all new 508 SW is built on the EMP2 platform making it an average of 70kg lighter than the outgoing generation while the new eight-speed EAT8 automatic transmission with electric gear lever and one touch control is an option.
The two new petrol options - a 180 S&S EAT8 and 225 S&S EAT8 - are based on the PureTech 1.6-litre engine. Four diesel options are based on the BlueHDi 1.5-litre and 2.0-litre - a 130 S&S BVM6, 130 S&S EAT8, 160 S&S EAT8 and 180 S&S EAT8.
In the second half of 2019, the range will be supplemented by an efficient plug-in hybrid petrol powertrain with an extended ZEV range of 50km. The batteries will be located under the seond-row seats to preserve the roomy boot. The all new 508 SW will be unveiled at the next Paris Motor Show.
