Concept 5 by Peugeot: the 508 approach

 The main novelty at Peugeot is no doubt the concept 5 that foreshadows the future 508 model that simultaneously replace the 407 and 607.

 

Stylistically, the 508 marks a radical departure from current models. This tendency is illustrated by including the front which asserts much more successful and less impressive with a significant reduction of the intake air - good news for many - which is accompanied by a decrease in the overhang before . Remain on the front and we immediately notice the care that has been brought to the hood and grille with the lion overlooking the Peugeot name, depressed and therefore less visible. The link with the concept SR1 that we presented, a few weeks ago and is still present in Geneva is obvious. Less originality in the profile and rear but all is particularly elegant. Consistent with its position, dimensions are generous with a length of 4.86 m, a width of 1.88 m and a wheelbase of 2.82 m.
Under the hood, Peugeot has obviously set a high HYbrid4 engine 200 hp with a 2.0 liter HDi FAP of 163 hp coupled to an electric motor located at the rear of 37 hp, all for the release of 99 g / km or even zero in electric mode.
