Peugeot 107 Also Receives the 'Millesim 200' Treatment


The 107 city car is the third Peugeot model in the UK after the 207 and 308 to be offered with in a 'Millesim 200' edition as part of the company's 200 year celebrations. The special edition version of the 107 is based on the current Urban Plus model but benefits from a range of extra standard equipment including 14-inch alloy wheels, air-conditioning, rev counter, special code blue seat trim, blue air vent surrounds, blue instrument binnacle and unique Millesim 200 badging.

The 107 Millesim range goes on sale in Britain this month with prices starting from £9,545 on-the-road for the three-door model and £9,895 for the five-door version . As with other Peugeot models ordered in June, the 107 also comes with a free Nokia 5230 smartphone with inbuilt satellite navigation and an in-car mounting kit.






























New Peugeot 508 Flagship Sedan Snagged Undisguised During Filming?


A photograph of an undisguised 2011 Peugeot 508 sedan (or at least that's the most likely badge), allegedly captured during the filming of a promotional clip somewhere in Madrid, Spain, has been making the internet rounds today.
If it's the real deal, then it appears that Peugeot's designers have toned down the styling a little compared to the near-production concept model, called the "5 by Peugeot", that was showcased in Geneva earlier this year (see here).
The new 508 will replace both the mid-size 407 and premium 607 sedans, taking a flagship role in Peugeot's vehicle range. The concept model measured 4,860mm in length, 1,880mm in width and 2,815mm in wheelbase, meaning it was 42mm shorter than the 607 but 168mm longer than the 407 sedan.
We'll most likely see the production model getting its world debut at the forthcoming Paris Motor Show this fall, with European sales of the sedan to start next year.

New Peugeot 508 Sedan and SW: First Official Photos


Say 'bonjour' to the all-new Peugeot 508, the first official pictures of which were leaked onto the web today. Designed to replace both the Opel Insignia-challenging 407 and the larger 607, the French automaker's new mid-size contender will have its first public outing at the Paris Motor Show at the end of September, and go on sale across Europe and other markets early next year.
Peugeot previewed the new 508 at this year's edition of the Geneva Salon with a concept sedan model, called the "5 by Peugeot". The production version has remained more or less true to the concept car
Along with the first photos of the sleek-looking sedan, we also have pictures of its load-loving station wagon brethren that will cater the needs of those looking for a more practical and possibly more spacious proposal in the mid-size segment.
Technical details remain scarce, though buyers should expect a similar engine lineup to the Citroen C5, upon which the 508 is based off, including 1.6-liter turbocharged petrols and a variety of four- and six-cylinder diesel units. It is also believed that Peugeot will offer a hybrid variant combining an internal combustion engine driving the front wheels with an electric motor powering the rear wheels.
We'll have more on the 508 as soon as Peugeot comes out with an official release.

New Peugeot 508 Officially Unveiled, gets HYbrid4 Variant with 200HP and AWD


The all-new Peugeot 508 has been officially revealed following the leakout of the first photos earlier today. Available in sedan and station wagon body styles, the 508 replaces two cars in Peugeot's range, the 407 and 607. The French marque's Ford Mondeo and Volkswagen Passat contender will make its world debut at the Paris Motor Show in late September and go on sale early next year.
The 508 is the production version of the '5 by Peugeot' concept car seen in Geneva this past March, and according to Peugeot, it introduces the firm's new -and more subtle- design language as previewed on the SR1 Concept sports car. Expect to see the same type of grille finding its way on all future Peugeot models.
For the first time we get a look at the 508's interior, which according to the French carmaker, combines hi-tech features with the use of "high quality materials" both "visually and to the touch".
Based off the PSA Group's platform 3 that also underpins Citroen's C5 as well as the outgoing 407, the 508 sits between the 407 and 607 in terms of size. At 4.79 meters in length, the sedan variant of the 508 is about 100mm longer than the 407 saloon but 100mm shorter than the 607. The more practical Station Wagon model is slightly longer than the sedan measuring 4.81 meters in length.
Peugeot did not release many technical details on the 508, but it did confirm the availability of a HYbrid4 version after launch - most likely in mid 2011. This model will combine a turbo diesel engine mounted at the front of the car with an electric motor located at the rear, providing a combined output of 200-horsepower with all-wheel drive and emissions of 99g/km of CO2 or zero in electric mode.
The French automaker added that the 508 will be offered with a variety of diesel and petrol engines, all benefiting from the latest fuel-saving technologies such as a start and stop system.
The European market versions of the new 508 will be produced in Rennes in France, while Peugeot also revealed plans to build the car in China for the local market starting from next year.
