EXPERIENCE QUALITY TIME

For today’s busy executive, the greatest luxury may well be time itself – time free from endless interruption from happenings all around. Time that – as more and more have discovered – is best found in the privacy of one’s car. It is because of this that Peugeot has created the new 508. Carefully crafted  using the latest techniques and cutting-edge technology, it is built with only one goal in mind: to give  the owner an immensely comfortable ride so free from jerkiness, noise, and other distractions that you  are finally free to concentrate, formulate, and strategize winning decisions.508_2010_049_FR.img.jpg

AWE AT FIRST SIGHT

One look at the 508’s regal exterior is all it takes to convince you that the ride will be just as  impressive. With sublime elegance that astounds, strength that commands confidence and a perfect  balance, the style of the 508 suggests a vehicle sculpted from a single block by the hands of masters.  One thing is for sure. You will never find yourself distracted wondering what others think about your 508. For you know it will always be flattering.

Hands-off Automation

There are also other luxuries befitting someone of your stature: dual sun-visors with lighted vanity mirrors, electric folding side mirrors, a car fi nder, cruise control, rear sunblinds and keyless start/stop*.

The motorised tailgate (SW model only) is controllable remotely for hands-free operation. Automatic rain sensors that intelligently adjust to speed and rain intensity to provide optimum visibility, while automatic headlight illumination ensures that headlights will be activated in low light conditions, even in sheltered car parks and tunnels.

You see, we have taken care to make this car as automated as possible. So you can concentrate on your thoughts.

Floating Grille

The front of the 508 defines the new stylistic codes of Peugeot. The grille is “floating”, giving the impression of being detached from the bodywork.

Rear LED Lights

Satin and Chrome Surface

Combining chrome and satin surfaces, the feline headlamps have been designed with particular care  and can be equipped with LED day-time running lights.

Directional Xenon Lights with LED Daylights*

With a surface area of 1.62 square metres, this roof floods the cabin with sunlight, bringing a sense of well being and adding an irresistible cheerfulness. There is also an electric shutter system with 5  pre-set positions you can choose from a one-touch rotary control.

LUXURY GOES PLACES

The interior of your 508 shall be the birthplace of many precious thoughts. It should be no surprise then that we have taken great care to furnish it with all the trappings of luxury the busy executive could ask  for. Inside, you will find only refined style, exceptional materials, meticulous finishing and superb  technology. All the better to conjure a first-class ambience.

At Your Service

Why do everything yourself, when we have designed the interior to cater to your every want? The  headlights are electrically height adjustable and the one-touch front and rear power windows are supremely easy to operate. They also come with a smart ‘antipinch‘ safety feature. The rearview mirror is auto-dimming, to help you drive safely without the danger of being dazzled by lights on vehicles behind you.

Even the 4-zone air conditioning* with rear airvents is smart. The driver, front and rear passengers can all control their own air conditioning levels.

Endless Convenience

Among other conveniences, there is Bluetooth connectivity and a 12-volt power socket. A USB/jack  socket installed in a storage compartment under the central armrest offers easy connection of portable equipment. The rear seats are also convenient, folding 60/40 automatically at the touch of a button.

Multi-Function Trip Computer

Ample Storage Sapce

Both the 508 and 508 SW provide a remarkable boot volume for their category. The saloon offers  545 litres when seats are raised, and up to 1,581 litres when you fold down the back seats. The 508  SW offers even more – an incredible 660 litres with the seats raised, and up to 1,865 litres  with the back seats folded down. As if that is not enough, there is also a storage compartment under central armrest.

Keyless Entry with Push/Start Button*


Replacing the conventional mechanical key, this system simplifi es access to and the starting of 508 or 508 SW. Just having the electronic key with you will unlock the doors. And you can start and  stop the engine with a simple press of the Start/Stop button. Finally, when leaving the car, just brushing the handle with a hand will lock the vehicle’s doors.

Electric Parking Brake and Hill Assist

The absence of a traditional hand brake lever allows for additional storage space, while the Hill  Assist feature prevents the car from rolling back or forth for up to 2 seconds and stops wheel spin  when you start on slopes with slippery surfaces.

EXECUTIVE POWER

Powerful, nimble, refined, and stable, the 508 offers a driving experience so cultured you will never be distracted by trivialities like bumps or unresponsiveness.

508_2010_052_FR.img.jpg
Responsible Power

With low fuel consumption (Up to 14.1km/litre EC combined cycle) and CO2 emissions, engines used on all the 508 variants comply with the green Euro5 emission standard. Chalk one up for environment-friendliness.

6-Speed Tiptronic Auto Transmission with Paddle Shifts

The transmission system used is the 6-speed Tiptronic System Porsche automatic with manual  override. This offers near-instantaneous changes through all six gears (via paddle shifts or gear  lever), maximising the time your engine spends in the optimal range of revs.

Drive in the Fast Lane

1.6L THP 156bhp – It’s easy to tell why this engine has won the ‘International Engine of the Year’  award. It has very high torque available even at low engine speeds, combining dynamism and  smoothness normally associated with a much bigger cc engine. Expect superb flexibility with its maximum torque of 240Nm available from 1,600 rpm - 4,000 rpm.

Its innovative Twin-Scroll turbocharger pairs exhaust gases to ensure maximum fl ow onto the  turbine, while its high-pressure direct petrol injection system improves combustion and overall  engine effi ciency with classleading fuel economy.

REASSURING SAFETY

It is far easier to deliberate on important decisions when you do not have to  worry about safety. This is the very reason why your 508 is built around several  of the industry’s most cutting-edge safety technologies. Technology good enough to earn the car a coveted 5-Star EURO NCAP safety rating.

Safety in all Circumstances

• Follow-me-home lights: The headlights stay on for a few seconds after you’ve used the remote to lock or unlock the car. This helps illuminate your way, alerting you to everything in the environment.

• Triple indicator fl ashing

• Fog lamps (front and rear): Ensures that you are seen, even in inclement weather.

• Anti-pinch windows: Car windows will not close if there is something jammed in the way. Prevents your fi ngers from getting caught.

• Central locking with remote control

• Electric child door & window lock: Activate this from the driver’s door to prevent your child from accidentally opening the passenger doors.

Ready for all Circumstances

• Automatic hazard lights: Activated during emergency braking situations to alert drivers behind, thus preventing rear-end collisions.

• Front seatbelts with force-limiting pre-tensioners: Stops seatbelts from placing excessive force on the rib cage and improves restraint of the front  occupants in the event of a front impact or if the vehicle were to roll over.

• 3-Front Impact Absorption structures

• Reinforcement bars and impact absorbers in front doors

• 3 rear seatbelts with side seat load limiters

• Engine immobiliser

Preventing the Unexpected
508_2010_218_ACC.img.jpg

• Front and rear sensors with parking space sensor*: Parallel parking guide measures the space available and indicates whether you can park and the level of diffi culty of the manoeuvre to be carried out.

• Electric Parking Brake*: The car intelligently applies the electric parking brake when the engine is stopped. The brake is then automatically released on acceleration. In addition, the absence of a hand brake lever allows additional storage space.

• Hill Assist: The Hill Assist function, coupled with the electric parking brake, maintains the brake temporarily for 2 seconds when the vehicle is on a slope.

Safety is Absolute

• Cruise control with speed limiter: Allows a constant speed to be maintained automatically. You can use the multifunction steering wheel to set a maximum speed.

• Emergency Brake Assist (EBA): When you hit the brakes hard, you activate the EBA which applies maximum braking power in milliseconds to bring you to a  halt quickly and safely.

• Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS): This maintains control of the steering and prevents the car from skidding under heavy braking.

• Electronic Stability Programme (ESP): This combines a host of braking  techniques to ensure a high level of safety, including control of the acceleration  and braking at each wheel and traction-balancing which helps keep your car stable in times of emergency.

2 ISOFIX Positions on Rear Seats

• Equipped with ISOFIX fi xtures on the rear seats, this enhances the child safety features.

• 2 of the rear seats come with compliant child safety seat attachment points, ensuring that the little ones are securely fastened in for the ride.

 

6 Airbags (Front, Side and Curtain) and Head Rests
508_2010_212_FR.img.jpg


• In the event of collision, 6 air bags increase the protection of the occupants: 2 front air bags, 2 front side air bags and 2 curtain air bags covering front and rear.

• The front head rests on 508 and 508 SW are designed to allow precise positioning at the required height. Their size and fold-over shape allows close adjustment to the heads of the occupants for a high level of protection against whiplash.
