The PEUGEOT SW PSE - Pulsating Drive, Thrilling Design.


The Peugeot 508 SW Peugeot Sport Engineered (PSE) is a sporty estate that allows you to enjoy the pure sensations of high-performance driving with the added benefit of low-emissions due to the car being a Plug-in Hybrid in addition to high levels of practicality.

Design

The Peugeot 508 SW PSE is both muscular and eye-catching. The low aggressive front end is perfectly complimented by a darkened black grille with floating blades to allow for better airflow. Further darkened features can be found on the Peugeot badge and the 508 trademarks with three 'kryptonite' claws to symbolize the hybrid nature of the car. With lower body detailing and large scoops. there is no mistaking that the Peugeot 508 SW PSE is about pure performance. Its muscular body shape is further enhanced by the new and exclusive 'Selenium Grey' colour that is subtly pearlescent and made to stand out further with flashes of dynamic 'kryptonite' which can be found on the lower scoops and brake calipers. 

Although the large scoops on the air intakes add to the aesthetic and sporty appeal of the car, they also serve a great purpose and ensure that cooler air is fed through the air intakes into the engine to allow for better levels of performance. Exclusive lightweight 20" EXXAR wheel rims are equipped with Michelin PILOT SPORT 4S 245/35/R20 tyres for improved road handling and maximum grip. The sporty wheels allow a glimpse of the performance of 4-piston aluminium monoblock opposing piston calipers with bi-material discs which are 380mm diameter by 32mm wide and include an integrated lightweight aluminium bell. The pin drive feature enables the disc to float radially with heat without coning and directional vents improve air-cooling. 

Being an estate car, the 508 SW Peugeot Sport Engineered offers great levels of practicality. The large boot space offers a great surface area and wide accessibility, with a low-loading sill for ease of use. The tailgate is motorised which again makes it easier on those times when your hands are full. The overall design of the rear of the car carries across the sporty theme from the front end. The black exhaust pipes have been electrolytic treated which helps it to withstand the highest of temperatures, with an aggressive-looking diffuser that reinforces its sporty look.

Performance

The Peugeot 508 SW PSE is the perfect blend of both performance and efficiency, with the versatility of a hybrid and 26-mile driving range (WLTP*) in electric mode. With a total of 360bhp which is produced from the internal combustion engine and two electric motors, this combination emits serious levels of performance. With the car being four-wheel drive, you can have the confidence that you will always be in complete control.

Range & Charging

The lithium-ion battery in the 508 PSE allows you to travel up to 26 miles in pure electric mode according to the WLTP* certification protocol. You can optimise your range through the following driving modes:

Electric - Offers you the freedom to drive around town and in some low emission zones thanks to the optimised battery that lets you drive up to 80mph with 26 miles driving range (WLTP)

Hybrid - Allows you to drive in both electric and combustion and alternates to optimise energy use.

Comfort - Driving mode is identical to the Hybrid Mode while offering greater suspension flexibility, for greater versatility of use.

Sport - The car can make full use of its 360bhp, giving you maximum performance.

With the 508 PSE being a hybrid vehicle, you can recover energy through braking. The highly efficient i-BOOSTER system regenerative braking system allows the available energy to be recovered or regenerated during braking and deceleration, allowing the high-voltage battery to be partially charged.
