2014 PEUGEOT 508 SW 2.0L HDI 6AT FWD (160 HP)

Vehicle Overview

Peugeot had to upgrade its lineup in 2014 in order to meet the mandatory Euro6 emission standards, and when it implemented the revised engines, it also refreshed the 508 range.

When the French carmaker introduced the facelift for the 508 range, it also improved the station wagon version. Thus, it tried to be more appealing to its customers, adding more features and amenities to keep them coming to the brand’s showrooms. Apart from the aesthetic changes, it also improved the car’s safety systems.

From the outside, the main difference was at the front, where the car received a new front fascia, with a more vertical grille that sported the company’s badge in the middle instead of on the hood as before. Moreover, the LED headlights, foglights, and daytime running lights created an emblematic presence of the car on the road. The station wagon version, named SW, sported the same long profile with a sloped-down roof and blackened C- and D-pillars. Thus, the carmaker’s designers created a shooting-brake appearance for the vehicle. The back of the car was also enhanced with new LED taillights and, depending on the version, a dual exhaust that peaked under the bumper.

Inside, there was also an improved infotainment center, fitted with a 7″ touchscreen placed atop the center stack. Moreover, Peugeot offered a head-up display with an additional flip-folding screen that showed essential driving data. Like the non-facelifted version, the 2014 508 version featured a split-folding rear bench that expanded the trunk size from 530 liters (18.7 cu-ft) up to 1780 liters (62.9 cu-ft).

Under the hood, the carmaker prepared a wide choice of turbocharged engines, ranging from 114 PS (113 hp) to 200 PS (197 hp). A six-speed automatic was available for selected versions.
