Peugeot Australia has released its repowered, Euro 6-compliant 508 GT range with sharper pricing, reduced fuel consumption, increased driving range and lower prices.

Based on the official fuel consumption rating figures, the 508 GT sedan will offer a driving range of 1,636km from a single tank of fuel, with the GT Touring offering a 1,565km driving range.

The driving range is substantial enough for the vehicle to cover the following on a single 72 litre tank:

The new 2.0L turbo-diesel BlueHDi drivetrain develops 133kW and 400Nm to propel the vehicle to 100km/h in 8.6 seconds.

Compared to the outgoing Euro 5 turbo-diesel 2.2-litre four-cylinder, the new drivetrain slashes fuel consumption to 4.4-litres of fuel per 100km (down 1L per 100km), reduces C02 emissions to 114g per-kilometre (previously 140g/km) yet maintains a sub-9 second sprint to 100km/h.

The 508 GT will join other Euro 6 rated models including select Peugeot 308 models, featuring PSA’s PureTech turbo-petrol and BlueHDI diesel models.

General Manager of Peugeot Australia, John Startari, said that the all-new drivetrain for 508 GT models signals a fundamental shift in drivetrain technology.

“Peugeot has over 125 years’ experience in engine, transmission and drivetrain technology, and this new generation of Euro 6 powerplants prove Australians can have their cake and eat it too, with the power, performance and economy demanded by local customers.”

“Peugeot has always been highly regarded for our ability to deliver, refined, frugal and powerful engine combinations that can traverse the country and with a 1,600km range. And the 508 GT maintains that legacy.”

“The 508 GT signals a shift to Euro 6 engines across as many of our vehicle lines as quickly as possible, with the 208 range the next beneficiary of Euro 6 powerplants,” said Startari.

The roll out of Euro 6-compliant engines will be driven by the adoption of PSA’s efficient and powerful range of turbocharged PureTech petrol and BlueHDi diesel engines.

The Peugeot 508 GT sedan and Touring will arrive in local dealerships from mid-September. The updated model compliments the existing 508 range.


NOTE:

** Drive-Away Price includes dealer delivery fees and the numerous statutory charges (commonly known as on-road costs) which vary from state to state to state and between dealer to dealer. Personal circumstances such as age and driving record may effect these charges too. Always check the latest charges with a local dealer.

Additionally, please note that all prices, fees and charges are subject to change without notice, as are the specifications.

E&OE.
