新一代标致508官图近日曝光，该车将在日内瓦车展首次亮相。标致采用逆潮流举动，新一代508并非比老款车更大，其中高度降低了60毫米，长度缩短80毫米，但宽度增加了20毫米。新车外观更锐利，采用了独特的格栅设计，侵略性前脸和尾灯组以及无框车门。行李箱空间增加了14立升至487立升，由于开口宽度增加，实用性获得提升。如果将后排椅背放平，行李箱空间可提升至1537立升。新车同样采用了标致的i-Cockpit座舱，该系统已经成为标致车型标配。新车的方向盘尺寸更小，而仪表板位置更高，虽然对这一布局有不同看法，但12.3英寸数字仪表群和10英寸中置触控显示屏值得点赞。车内背景照明和按摩座椅确实不错，同时内饰采用了真皮，Alcantara材质和实木材质。新车动力系统包括一台1.6升汽油引擎，但有两种功率输出，分别为177马力和217马力，搭配八速自动变速器。而柴油引擎分别为1.5升和1.2升BlueHDi引擎，功率有128/158/177马力三种，可搭配六速手动或八速自动变速器。车厂表示，由于新车重量降低了70公斤，因此燃油经济性获得提升。而在明年，车厂还将推出插电混动版本。新车在日内瓦车展发布后将于今年晚些时候在欧洲上市，目前车厂还未公布价格。
Peugeot's New 508 Sedan Looks Tres Chic
It’s been a long time since the Peugeot 508 was first unveiled in 2011, but the company has just pulled the wraps off an all-new second-generation version of the sedan that will certainly cause many to have a second think about getting a zombie lion on their next new car.
The new 508 will officially be revealed at the Geneva Motor Show in a couple of weeks, but clearly the French car maker couldn’t wait to show the world its new car, which is keen to remind everyone that SUVs aren’t going to have it easy. Bucking the trend of ever-bigger cars, the new 508 is 60 millimeters (2.3 inches) lower and 80 mm (3.1 in) shorter than before, while gaining 20 mm (0.8 in) in width.
The new sedan certainly looks sharp, with a distinctive grille design, aggressive front and rear lights and frameless doors that speak of ambitions to be more than a merely middle-of-the-road car.Trunk space has been increased by 14 liters to 487, and practicality improved thanks to a better opening. The rear seats fold to create a cavernous 1,537-liter load space.
There’s no escaping the i-Cockpit, which Peugeot has stuck with and now introduced across the whole of its range. The small steering wheel and high-mounted instrument panel has divided opinion, but the 12.3-inch digital instrument panel and 10-inch centrally mounted touchscreen are certainly distinctive.
Ambient lighting and massage seats are a fancy touch, as well as the range of interior finishes available in leather, Alcantara and real wood.
There’s one gasoline engine available at launch in two power ratings – the 1.6-liter unit comes with 177 horsepower and 217 hp ratings and can be specced with an eight-speed auto transmission. There are two BlueHDi diesel engines available in 1.5-liter and 2-liter guises. The diesel engines come with 128 hp, 158 hp, and 177 hp power outputs and either six-speed manual or the aforementioned eight-speed automatics. Peugeot claims a weight loss between generations of around 70 kilograms (154 pounds), which will boost economy. A plug-in hybrid version of the car arrives in 2019.
The new car is set to be officially launched at the Geneva Motor Show in a few weeks and will go on sale in Europe later this year. Prices are yet to be announced.
