After a concept car and many months of teasing and testing, Peugeot revealed today the 508 Peugeot Sport Engineered or PSE.

Available in sedan and wagon flavour. I just looove the SW.

And it still sport Peugeot’s radical take on interior design.

And like any current Peugeot, it sports those mean fangs.

As for specs. It is a 4WD plug-in hybrid with a combined output of 360 hp and 520 Nm of torque. Power comes from a 1.6 turbo petrol engine good for 200 hp and from two 110 hp electric engines (one in the 8-speed auto gearbox and the other on the rear axle).

Peugeot says the car will do 0-62 mph in 5.2 seconds and 50-75 mph (80 - 120 kph) in 3 seconds. Full electric range is 42 km WLTP (26 miles).

I dig it.

“bUt No MaNuAl No BuY” says people who don’t even live on a continent where you can buy one.

I am not sure a manual with this kind of 4WD hybrid would be easy to make without being jerky or with annoying r eactions.

I t seems like it’s still accelerating with the electric engines while the gearbox is changing gears so while the gearbox doesn’t seem to be as fast as a DCT it might not be an issue for the performances while being able to be smoother on the ICE/electric motors transitions .

There are some people who think that a manual automatically makes a car better. Those people are generally referred to as “idiots”.

Such a handsome car. It was before it was the sporty version. Green highlights are cool.

Guess I’m an idiot haha, but I do agree for hybrid/electric vehicles

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > BATC42 09/24/2020 at 20:58

That is real pretty. Sounds fun too. AWD plug in hybrids are so hot right now.

Also that’s 420hp... Nice

I prefer manuals, but I wouldn’t say they’re necessarily better....I just drastically enjoy them more because I enjoy being part of that experience of driving, as lame and cli ché as that sounds :)

I really, really like that wagon.

Depends on the car really. In a modern quick commuter/family car that is partially electric, like this Peugeot, an automatic makes sense. In a sports car though, no third pedal = no sale. In a sports car I’m not interested in ‘better’, I’m interested in ‘fun’. This car however is not a sports car.

I own multiple Peugeots and live on the right side of the pond to own this car.
