It will also be a segment named the''d ',' mid-sized sedan from the family, which has thinned quite a bit 'in recent years (worth 23% of the EU market in 2000, today 17%), all for the benefit of SUVs and crossovers. However, it seems more fierce than ever and the latest proposals (C5, the Insignia, Passat, Mondeo), including those of the so-called liners, are of much higher level than in the recent past.Certainly not immune to the rule, the new Peugeot 508, which is fighting a bigger challenge than ever and is ready to replace in a single shot 407 and 607, focusing primarily on comfort, the chapter on what has gone largely concentration of French designers. An eye also to look, not original (it captures some inspiration from German rival with the rings ...), but pleasant, especially in front, anticipating what will be the next new style of the house of Leo.
Going on the new 508 gets the immediate feeling of we can also sit for a whole day, without straining a muscle. The merit of the chair is mostly a giant wrap-around well, as well as dell'insonorizzazione well maintained. The interior materials are of good quality, it is surprising that only the button for the starter is out and on the left of the steering wheel and that there is a slot for the key once the engine is started, should be kept in his pocket.
Wide range of engines (two petrol engines of 1.6 liter, 120 and 156 hp and a 4 between 1.6 and 2.2 liter diesel with power ranging from 112 to 204 hp), the most popular we will be the 2.0 HDi 140 bhp , just enough full-bodied and capable of moving even the mighty wagon (length 4.81 meters) on winding roads and full load.
The soundproofing, as anticipated, it is very good, the guide is what you would expect from this car: precise, in every situation, even if less "sharp" than an Opel Insignia between curves. But for those who enjoy driving, but there is the most sophisticated 204 hp 2.2 HDi GT, with specific dual front triangle.
Good steering and gearbox, the latter with a long lever long, but very maneuverable. The success of 508 can cause it to corporate fleets and rental companies that will absorb roughly 60% of the 7,200 units expected in Italy in 2011. So much so that the French company has developed for them an ad hoc construction, called Business conscientiously, and very fine-tuned balance between content and price.
The range includes four levels of still other equipment (Access, Allure, Active and GT) and prices ranging between 23,400 and 38,700 €. Do not want to miss? Choose Station Business 2.0 HDi 140 hp, for 30 thousand euro. Sales from March 17.
