An exclusive, limited edition Peugeot 508
RXH with just 30 coming to the UK has been unveiled at the Frankfurt
Motor Show today. With a high specification and delivery due in March
2012 this very special 508 is offered on a first-come, first-served
basis.
The Peugeot 508 RXH is a
distinctive vehicle characterised by its HYbrid4 powertrain and high
specification, as Peugeot continues its upmarket trend. The
Diesel-electric hybrid powertrain is a hybridisation of the 2.0-litre
HDi FAP diesel engine developing 163bhp driving the front wheels and a
37bhp electric motor driving the rear axle, to produce a new level of
driving experience, combining:
- A total combined output of 200bhp
- ZEV – Zero Emissions Vehicle mode
for silent running
- Four-wheel drive – with grip to
all four wheels
- CO2 emissions of just
109 g/km with economy at 67MPG
Key features of the 508 RXH Limited
Edition include Copper metallic paintwork, Lama leather and Alcantara
upholstery, Peugeot Open & Go system, Xenon headlamps, motorised
tailgate and electric powered, heated and memory position seats. It
also features front parking aid, automatic quad-zone air conditioning,
JBL Hi-Fi and distinctive Attila 18” alloy wheels with every car
carrying an individually numbered plaque.
The 508 RXH Limited Edition will be the
first models delivered in March 2012, priced at £36,000 (on the road).
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 and wider, it is
also distinguished by a singular visual identity, characterised by its
distinctive LED daytime running lights that give an impression of having
three vertical ‘lion claws’ on each side of its ‘floating’ grille, the
style of which is all the more striking.
To reinforce its exclusive character,
the interior of the 508 RXH benefits from the use of luxurious
materials, coherent with the ‘top-of-the-range’ and technological
positioning of the vehicle. Richly equipped as standard with electric
front seats, head up display, panoramic glass roof, dark-tinted acoustic
laminated side windows, head up display, latest generation audio and
satellite navigation RXH welcomes its occupants with care, refinement
and a high level of comfort features.
Equipped with the 2.0-litre HDi FAP
HYbrid4 powertrain, a world first when featured in the 3008 HYbrid4, the
diesel-electric hybrid in the 508 RXH extends driving freedom and
pleasure to traverse all roads. With a maximum power of 200bhp,
four-wheel drive and a maximum torque of 450Nm, the 508 RXH has been
designed to adapt to a wide spectrum of conditions. With a 40 mm wider
track and its height increased by 50mm, this new Peugeot has an
individual stance, without sacrificing the characteristics of the 508
range - poise, elegance and status. |
