- Sleek and stylish PEUGEOT 508 Sportswagon enhanced with efficient plug-in hybrid powertrain
- Priced at $82,915 MLP1, the PEUGEOT 508 Sportswagon Plug-In Hybrid is now on-sale across the authorised PEUGEOT dealer network and online at www.peugeot.com.au
- MY23 PEUGEOT 508 range now the first in the brand's local line up to be offered exclusively in electrified variants
Since the launch in 2019, the latest generation PEUGEOT 508 has been a stand-out model in the PEUGEOT range with its sleek and innovative design and immersive and luxurious driving experience. Today, the 508 range has been elevated with the arrival of the 508 Sportswagon Plug-In Hybrid into Australian PEUGEOT showrooms.
Priced at $82,915 MLP1, the 508 Sportswagon Plug-In Hybrid offers sharp design, a dynamic body shape and a muscular style, as well as impressive, electrified performance.
The PEUGEOT 508 Sportswagon Plug-In Hybrid offers drivers 165kW of power delivered by a 133kW PureTech engine combined with an 81kW electric motor and combined total of 360Nm of torque. The PureTech engine is combined with the e-EAT8 8-speed automatic transmission (Electric Efficient Automatic Transmission - 8 speeds).
With a 11.8kWh capacity lithium-ion battery, the 508 Sportswagon Plug-In Hybrid provides a WLTP test range of 55km2.
Complimenting the 508 GT Fastback Plug-In Hybrid that launched in March 2022, the launch of the electrified 508 Sportswagon also signifies a new era for the 508 in Australia, with the range refined for MY23 to offer exclusively plug-in hybrid powertrains.
Kate Gillis, Managing Director PEUGEOT Australia, said: "The 508 Sportswagon Plug-In Hybrid offers an enriched driving experience with an array of smart technology working to enhance overall performance and efficiency whilst retaining the French allure and dynamic style our 508 customers love.
"As we build on our electrified offering in Australia across Passenger, SUV and LCV, the introduction of the 508 Sportswagon Plug-In Hybrid further demonstrates our commitment to offering choice for local customers considering a plug-in hybrid vehicle."
Acclaimed design meets electrified performance
The PEUGEOT 508 Sportswagon was designed with practicality and performance in mind and the plug-in hybrid variant continues to deliver an enjoyable everyday driving experience. With a boot capacity of 530L with rear seats in place, this extends to an impressive 1,780L when the rear seats are folded providing plenty of additional cargo space when required.
The 508 Sportswagon Plug-In Hybrid also continues to impress with a refined, modern body shape whilst bold 18" Sperone two tone diamond cut alloy wheels assert its dynamic and sporty styling.
PEUGEOT design cues are evident across the exterior with the iconic cat claw LED 3D lights framing the rear and the signature LED front headlights at the front. Sleek lines are also enhanced with the frameless doors that are designed to lengthen and lower the Sportswagon's silhouette.
As with the 508 Fastback Plug-In Hybrid, the 508 Sportswagon also adorns the exclusive 'Hybrid' badging on the rear.
The new PEUGEOT 508 Sportswagon Plug-in Hybrid offers 4 driving modes from the mode selector:
- Electric Mode: When sufficiently charged, this is the default mode for Peugeot plug-in hybrid electric vehicles.
- Hybrid Mode: Hybrid mode allows the driver to utilise the most efficient combination of electric or internal combustion engine depending on driving style and the type of road during the journey.
- Sport Mode: take full advantage of maximum engine torque. Sport mode allows the driver to combine the power of both engines to enjoy a dynamic driving experience with firmer suspension and firmer electric power steering.
- Comfort Mode: Comfort mode combines all the benefits of Hybrid mode with the additional comfort of electronically controlled active suspension.
A renowned PEUGEOT i-Cockpit™ experience
Integral to the PEUGEOT design DNA, the PEUGEOT i-Cockpit® provides a stimulating and intuitive driving experience in everyday life.
