French carmaker Peugeot is attempting to draw more buyers into its UK showrooms by enhancing the standard specifications of the 508 Saloon and SW (Station Wagon) models, while also simplifying the range with the elimination of the SR trim grade.
Beginning with the ‘Access’ level, it gains 16-inch alloy wheels and Bluetooth, while the ‘Active’ has been renamed to ‘Active Navigation’ and aside from the obvious addition (Peugeot Connect Navigation / RT6), it is upgraded with standard 18-inch rims, ‘GT’ style front grille, Peugeot Connect SOS and Assistance, rear parking aid and electric folding door mirrors.
Further up in the range, the ‘Allure’ model gains Xenon directional headlamps with Peugeot Smartbeam Assistance and headlamp washers, LED daytime running lights and front parking aid, while the GT, which is available exclusively with a 2.2-liter HDi 200PS, now features 19-inch wheels as well as front parking aid sensors. The range-topping 508 RXH diesel-electric hybrid remains unchanged.
Peugeot said that these equipment upgrades add £200 to the price of the ‘Access’, ‘Active’ and ‘Allure’, and £400 to ‘GT’.
