Peugeot 508 SW
The first of these world premieres is the SW version of the all-new Peugeot 508, being unveiled a few days ahead of the trade launch of the saloon. The all-new Peugeot 508 SW breaks the traditions of the hotly contested D-segment estate market and sits low with a dynamic shape, cutting a striking design. It has successfully allied sporty elegance with practicality in its spaciousness, volumes and the accessibility of the boot space.
The all-new Peugeot 508 SW’s steering and suspension combine remarkable road hugging performance with perfectly mastered body movements. It is equipped with the latest generation of Peugeot i-Cockpit.
Peugeot e-Legend Concept
Peugeot will also be presenting its vision for the future of driving, with the 100% autonomous, electric, customisable and connected Peugeot e-Legend Concept, adopting a realistic frame (4.65m in length).
The concept’s style re-interprets the major themes of the 504 Coupé with a lightweight, athletic and chiselled shape. The cab is arched towards the back with broad glazed surfaces, while the front and rear signature lights repeat the three, trade-mark claws.
There are four driving modes available - two autonomous and two manual - with the choice always left up to the driver.
Total immersion inside the passenger compartment is possible, thanks to the Focal acoustics and the 49” digital screen curved towards the occupants, who can watch films, media content or even shots of the road, depending on the driving mode selected.
New Plug-in Hybrid petrol engines
Peugeot is also unveiling its new Plug-in Hybrid petrol engines in Paris. This new range will complement the existing Peugeot 3008 SUV and all-new Peugeot 508 and 508 SW engines. The Hybrid and Hybrid4 (four-wheel drive) engines will be arriving on the all-new Peugeot 508 (Fastback and SW) and Peugeot 3008 SUV in 2019.
The PEUGEOT driving experience is being enriched with new driving modes thanks to the fully electric ZEV mode, the efficiency of the four-wheel drive mode (HYBRID4), the power of the Sport mode and the versatility of the Hybrid mode.
The simple and intuitive technology provides the freedom to use a vehicle in multiple environments with a variety of terrains. The new engines allow the choice of two or four-wheel drive, 225 or 300 Hp, fastback, SW or SUV and the option of using four different driving modes.
