2013 Peugeot 508 RXH

<div style="text-align: justify;">The <b>Peugeot 508 RXH</b> represents the new, up market positioned Peugeot. It sees the launch of an identity that combines the traditional designation of Peugeot models, incorporating the central zero, and three letters that characterise the Marques specialist vehicles. This new model both heads up and extends the 508 range, with an original design silhouette, justifying its exclusive designation - RXH.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img alt="2013 Peugeot 508 RXH" border="0" height="285" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlJ7n6j9TK2F-gcbJuJNJg09vMEvvKBdUOa_SRpvsBhehk6cFiZzwOn0Zcfzhv_TFaNKaZJ0NWE24nKxNJQJMuVIsT-7Vst0envnk2-7eRCsxpAxMTHvTaoeTUE5yAu8BV27vATDb0f_0/s400/2013+Peugeot+508+RXH+1.jpg" title="2013 Peugeot 508 RXH" width="400" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>2013 Peugeot 508 RXH</b></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img alt="2013 Peugeot 508 RXH" border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsa_dpgrQolp4Paw0Px5r_YkXjZQdBJMJ2w-V7VGsNVrEEuTZ3-vpXeAui9xZwBixigK_kJUDSOCuUex-uA6xy17eFTsJ7nnRUxHMhFeYBuRqOzUwaPSNsp0_yG5nVQdl4NJtZda-46HI/s400/2013+Peugeot+508+RXH+2.jpeg" title="2013 Peugeot 508 RXH" width="400" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>2013 Peugeot 508 RXH</b></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img alt="2013 Peugeot 508 RXH" border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhleiCldsfeJr9vi7JJ-RBQ7vr1gfM9cgSPJx6dcF4GzacPamubUf1Qf3DCx2DAegG0WwvV58ih24L4puNWSNNXxgizSVljFN5-n0KjT4fOx02dHx6ixNLxRJ8CPMMQ2Af_gQWOaFZ37Vg/s400/2013+Peugeot+508+RXH+3.jpg" title="2013 Peugeot 508 RXH" width="400" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>2013 Peugeot 508 RXH</b></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img alt="2013 Peugeot 508 RXH" border="0" height="285" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVAQxyPydxC9Az91ga1eJJYqsQSeDb6REYdWLuPoUftPLGMlW24wcHrsl2jStUycH1He6rKY_zPXDdDDpe89rPPjEBV5qNgI0xm41Ffw5oS_EtTOBEHLin5Y6YhymWaQMRWAqhVpCTZ8A/s400/2013+Peugeot+508+RXH+6.jpg" title="2013 Peugeot 508 RXH" width="400" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>2013 Peugeot 508 RXH</b></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img alt="2013 Peugeot 508 RXH" border="0" height="287" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuNJNAWUxH78NKiRd3VNhD4u7_IRCzWPNMByX5LmEosn9LjaOPviERw8gVj3TtVcAHpuV6nY5jqJiPFjj8G6Kgt8A-OwCavZlapGaVFweJsIRpGSxaBTE7JYxsh8VgjpeDSShjLYY-Ux8/s400/2013+Peugeot+508+RXH+5.jpg" title="2013 Peugeot 508 RXH" width="400" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>2013 Peugeot 508 RXH</b></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img alt="2013 Peugeot 508 RXH" border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw0YsuRKuwv3UvCLIFN4mtO3vNJL06ZEOqFF1VwQ-6MDM9Gbrd0FjaGnI9AuguhGJQ-HhGyGr9UpMInzOrmS28o3NeCsN2NzEC_ivq-OM-AZfZSNSZDcLdgp-wZjLKmy3dyLP13PJhcMk/s400/2013+Peugeot+508+RXH+4.jpg" title="2013 Peugeot 508 RXH" width="400" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>2013 Peugeot 508 RXH</b></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img alt="2013 Peugeot 508 RXH" border="0" height="285" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguUYfeJxytV3ryHCxU062r5_WGJ8hSS9ROiALB_6bggBo9tMzugB-_YxJppvQvCTbxQg_kpUVniuuUTbq4nf3ThkjKY14KHnHFz3BXStkpTyTJlNndv0MTEVvYfnZSvbDH11tGm9FpvTg/s400/2013+Peugeot+508+RXH+7.jpg" title="2013 Peugeot 508 RXH" width="400" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>2013 Peugeot 508 RXH</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>A distinctive appeal</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The <b>Peugeot 508 RXH </b>styling has its own distinctive character within the 508 range. Its elegance and style place it immediately in an exclusive world that combines premium-positioning, technology with the ability to experience adventure and promises of a new and unparalleled driving experience.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">With a 40 mm wider track and its height increased by 50 mm, this new Peugeot has an individual stance, without sacrificing the characteristics of the 508 range - poise, elegance and status. The use of new, 18" forged wheel rims allowed designers to create a very fine wheel design with an internal diameter increased by 10 mm in comparison with conventional wheel rims. The result is a dynamic and elegantly enhanced body style.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Its adventurous side profile is illustrated through the bodywork extensions in satin stealth grey that envelope the lower body of the car. From the bottom of the front bumper, the line extends over the wheel arches, along the sill panels to meet the rear bumper. The choice of the satin trim finishers contribute to position this estate car within a refined world, as do the satin chrome inserts, with 'HYbrid4' badging, that adorns the sill panel, and front and rear protective trims. Fully integrated, they reflect the integrity applied to the cohesive design of the Peugeot 508 RXH.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This individual personality is more striking at the front end, which has become even more expressive while maintaining the strength of the brand's new style aesthetics. Accompanying a wider and taller body silhouette, the grille is extended on its lower edge. More strikingly, the new grille accentuates the illusion that it is 'floating' within the aperture. To achieve this, designers have taken influence from aviation reference points, notably taking inspiration from aircraft jet engine cowls. The air therefore seems to be well-channelled around the grille, which stands out distinctly from the bonnet line.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Its distinctive style lines give the Peugeot 508 RXH a very individual visual identity. It is the first Peugeot to use the iconic theme of the 'claw' on the front. Its LED daytime running lights illuminate to form three 'lion claws', instantly recognisable by day and by night to reinforce the characteristic 'feline' appearance of the head lamps. This unique and dynamic signature is complemented with the illumination of seven orange LEDs, from within the LED tube that is an original directional indicator function.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Like the 508 SW, the lines flow together in a harmonious and dynamic manner, falling back to a rear that is well seated on its haunches. The extensive panoramic glass roof has the benefit of being a continuation of the windscreen, with the profiled aluminium roof bars merging with the bodywork to enhance the exclusivity of the car. In this spirit, there are flush surfaces, highlighted by its high build quality finish. At the rear, the lights portray an elegant red band that glows brightly when the lights are on.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Refined interior styling and technology</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The styling of the dashboard is centred heavily around the qualities evoked by the exterior design of the vehicle, with continued illustrations of high quality, purity, elegance, etc. Its design supports a multiplex centre console with switchgear that is equipped with technology designed to provide easy control to a host of features.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This purity and simplicity of design and integration is best demonstrated on the HYbrid4 drive mode selection knob and the gear selector lever. It has the design that combines the traditional gear selector lever and a computer mouse called the 'manettino' - it fits perfectly into this pure and technological environment.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">White backlighting is available throughout the Peugeot 508 RXH interior (on the instrument panel, displays and the various lighting zones within the car), showing great care in detail and finish. It is this and the attention to detail that illustrates the hallmarks of the latest Peugeot range.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The car's internal trim and decor have been created in harmony, evoking elegance without ostentation. The use of natural materials and colours, sometimes exclusively, enhance the distinctive character of the 508 RXH. Brushed aluminium and shaded lacquers are used on the dashboard for the first time in this way. A spectacular treatment in keeping with the electricity supplied by HYbrid4 technology, this decor is specified in tinted shades of copper. This theme, again unprecedented, is subtly continued throughout the interior with matching trim stitching in this copper shade. The exterior is also themed with a copper colour theme through the colouring of the lock tumblers in Calern Brown, a shade exclusive to the Peugeot 508 RXH.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The choice of light-coloured alcantara leather and an innovative laser-printed fabric creates a two-tone upholstery that reinforces the refined image of the car. Depending on preference, the customer may opt for full leather or half-leather upholstery.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>The next generation enhances driving emotion</b><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">HYbrid4 technology also opens up new perspectives in the segment with a breakthrough in improved fuel consumption - 67.2 mpg and CO2 emissions of less than 109 g/km in the Combined Drive Cycle with a completely silent electric mode with zero emissions; ideal for driving around town efficiently.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In terms of performance, Peugeot 508 RXH benefits from the efficiency and power of its internal combustion engine combined with the electric motor during acceleration phases for an immediate increase in power (the 'boost' function maximises performance and available power in the Sport mode). The maximum combined power can reach 147 kW (200bhp) by combining the 120 kW (163 bhp) from the 2.0 l HDi FAP diesel engine and the 'on-demand' peak power of the 27 kW (37 bhp) electric motor. Up to 300 Nm of torque is delivered to the front wheels by the HDi diesel unit and up to 200 Nm to the rear wheels with the electric motor. The maximum combined value however is 450 Nm at lower road speeds, which guarantees excellent traction in most driving conditions including low-grip surfaces like snow and dirt roads, providing customers of this all-wheel drive estate car to comfortably go much further than ever before.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>A car manufactured in France</b><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Peugeot 508 RXH is manufactured in Rennes, with the modular hybrid rear drive axle being assembled and supplied from Mulhouse, and is scheduled for UK release in spring 2012.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Articles Source :</b> NetcarShow</div>
