Peugeot 508 Petrol Hybrid Cars
Peugeot is one of the few manufacturers offering a petrol-electric hybrid in Australia. The Peugeot 508 Petrol Hybrid is the latest addition to their range, and it combines the latest technology with traditional Peugeot flair.
Under the bonnet, the Peugeot 508 Petrol Hybrid boasts a 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine mated to an electric motor for a combined power output of 165 kW. It's paired with an eight-speed automatic gearbox, and together they deliver a refined and responsive drive experience.
This plug-in hybrid has an electric-only driving range of up to 50 km and can recharge its batteries in just two hours using a wallbox charger or four hours using a standard socket. This means that short commutes or errands can be done without using any petrol at all.
On longer drives, drivers can enjoy a smooth ride as the hybrid system constantly adjusts between petrol and electric power, depending on the driving conditions. When travelling at highway speeds, the petrol engine takes over more often, while in stop-start traffic or city driving, it uses more electric power.
Inside, the Peugeot 508 Petrol Hybrid offers luxurious materials and spacious seating for five adults. Features such as leather upholstery, panoramic sunroof, dual-zone climate control, and heated seats come as standard on most models. Also present is Peugeot’s advanced i-Cockpit technology which gives drivers access to important vehicle information through a high-definition digital display behind the steering wheel.
Safety is not compromised either with active safety systems such as Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop&Go function including Lane Positioning Assist that enhances semi-autonomous driving assistance capability added as standard features in most trims.
Overall, Peugeot has delivered another great car suited for Australian driving conditions with its first petrol-electric hybrid entry in Australia: The Peugeot 508 Petrol Hybrid which also adds yet another stylish entry into its portfolio offering Australians an eco-friendly luxury option when they buy their next car.
