The Peugeot 508 RXH will be unveiled as a world premiere at the Frankfurt International Motor Show in September 2011, and will be on sale in Spring 2012.

The Peugot 508 RXH demonstrates a modern and enhanced vision. The style and its innovative HYbrid4 drive unit provide features that allow it to combine freedom and driving pleasure in a form never seen before in the segment.
After the launch of the 508 Saloon and SW, the RXH again raises the profile of the entire Peugeot brand, reinforcing its technological and environmental leadership. Unique, refined, higher and wider (than a 508 SW), it is also distinguished by a singular visual signature. To reinforce its exclusive character, the interior of the 508 RXH benefits from special features with distinctive colours and luxurious materials, like the premium quality interior and upholstery. Richly equipped as standard (Open & Go Keyless system, electric front seats, head up display, 18″ wheels, panoramic glass roof, dark-tinted acoustic laminated side windows, latest generation audio and satellite navigation unit), the 508 RXH greets its occupants with refinement and a high level of comfort.
Equipped with a 2.0-litre HDi HYbrid4 drive train, a Peugeot world first in the 3008 HYbrid4, the diesel-electric drive unit in the 508 RXH extends driving pleasure and freedom to travel anywhere on all roads. With a maximum power of 200hp, four-wheel drive and maximum torque of 450Nm, the 508 RXH has been designed to adapt to all uses, in a variety of conditions. Furthermore, it opens up new perspectives in the segment, offering a 100% electric mode (Zero Emissions), ideal for driving in town and for reducing consumption in the Combined Cycle to 67.2 mpg, with emissions of 109 g/km of CO2.
