PEUGEOT 508 SW 2019
Peugeot 508 SW diesel engines :
The basic 120bhp 1.6-litre diesel�s speed and acceleration figures are best described as �relaxed�, but it�s actually a decent enough performer. As long as you plan ahead, it can get past slower traffic, and it never feels out of its depth on the motorway.
The best all-rounder is the mid-range 150bhp 2.0-litre diesel engine, which blends decent performance with efficiency; drive it economically and it�s a pretty easygoing companion. It�ll still to 0-62mph in 9.1 seconds and is well able to haul a boot full of stuff when you need it to.
The 180bhp 2.0-litre diesel comes with an automatic gearbox that does little to enhance the driving experience, because it�s pretty slow to change gears and never seems to be in the one you want. It�s been programmed with fuel economy in mind, so it shuffles into the highest gear possible at every opportunity, but then takes too long to change down when you want a spurt of acceleration.
Petrol engines
Nothing to see here � move along. Peugeot decided to discontinue sales of petrol 508 SWs in the UK due to lack of demand, so it�s diesel or bust.
Hybrid engine
The 508 SW is also available as a beefed-up, four-wheel-drive diesel hybrid model called the 508 RXH, which we�ve reviewed separately.
Frameless doors, a unique estate car feature for a mainstream carmaker, hone and enhance the body line whilst permitting a lower glazed surface area. Gaps and flush fittings have been reduced in size with first-class know-how, the wheels have been adjusted to perfectly fill the wheel arches, the roof antenna has been removed (now silk-screened). The body line is both powerful and is redolent of the high end of the market.
Just as for the saloon, the front end is incredibly impressive. With Full LED headlights and the vertical visual signature of the opalescent LED daytime running lights, New Peugeot 508 SW projects a distinct, exclusive identity, highlighted by the famous lion centred on the radiator grill and the 508 logo on the nose of the bonnet.
From the rear, the feel is of power and modernity, with the glossy black horizontal strip framed by three-dimensional Full LED rear lights taken from the saloon, which are illuminated throughout the night and day by adaptive intensity, making the coloured claws constantly visible from the side or full rear view. The chrome twin exhaust tailpipe seats the vehicle and further enhances the sporty design.
Boot access is via a practical tailgate (that can be powered and hands-free). The boot sill is low and wide (6 cm lower than the saloon and only 63.5 cm from the ground, 2.4 cm wider). The quick-draw baggage cover provides an immediate view of the entire boot, which has a capacity (with luggage cover closed) of 530 litres. It is designed to be simple in shape and entirely usable. The boot under-baggage cover capacity is very close to that of the outgoing vehicle (560 litres).
Apart from its practical nature, the boot entry has been enhanced by a stainless steel boot sill to facilitate loading. The GT spec level features aluminium floor rails and a backstop net for efficient boot compartmentalisation.
Modularity is essential for an estate car and New Peugeot 508 SW is fitted with a 2/3-1/3 rear bench seat with a Magic Flat function. With this system, the two sides of the bench can be instantly folded back by means of two controls located on either side of the boot. This results in a virtually flat boot floor providing a total load space of 1780 litres.
