Several photos of the Peugeot 508 have surfaced
online ahead of the car’s unveiling at the Geneva Motor Show. Posted by Namasce
and Motofilm, the images reveal the model will adopt a stylish and more upscale
design.
Starting up front, there’s a familiar grille which
is flanked by slender headlights and what appears to be fang-shaped LED daytime
running lights. The car also has a rakish windscreen, sporty character lines
and a stylish roof which gives the model a coupe-like appearance.
Looking back, there’s an upright trunk with an integrated
rear spoiler. The model also has slim taillights and a chromed dual exhaust
system on GT variants. Speaking of the latter, the 508 GT appears to be
distinguished by a unique grille, sportier skid skirts and special alloy
wheels. The model also features black mirror caps and black window trim.
The exterior styling won’t win everyone over but the
cabin appears downright luxurious. Once seated behind the uniquely shaped
steering wheel, drivers will find themselves surrounded by leather upholstery
and wood trim. The car also has a digital instrument cluster, a high-tech
infotainment system and a Focal audio system. Other notable highlights include
LED ambient lighting and a distinctive dashboard with slender vents.
Engine options remain unconfirmed but the report
suggests the model will be offered with 1.5- and 2.0-liter BlueHDi diesel
engines as well as an assortment of petrol options. There could also be a
hybrid model which produces up to 300 PS.
