Watt a Wagon! PEUGEOT 508 Sportswagon Plug-In Hybrid arrives in Australia

  • Sleek and stylish PEUGEOT 508 Sportswagon enhanced with efficient plug-in hybrid powertrain
  • MY23 PEUGEOT 508 range now the first in the brand’s local line up to be offered exclusively in electrified variants

Since the launch in 2019, the latest generation PEUGEOT 508 has been a stand-out model in the PEUGEOT range with its sleek and innovative design and immersive and luxurious driving experience. Today, the 508 range has been elevated with the arrival of the 508 Sportswagon Plug-In Hybrid into Australian PEUGEOT showrooms.

The 508 Sportswagon Plug-In Hybrid offers sharp design, a dynamic body shape and a muscular style, as well as impressive, electrified performance.

The PEUGEOT 508 Sportswagon Plug-In Hybrid offers drivers 165kW of power delivered by a 133kW PureTech engine combined with an 81kW electric motor and combined total of 360Nm of torque. The PureTech engine is combined with the e-EAT8 8-speed automatic transmission (Electric Efficient Automatic Transmission – 8 speeds).

With a 11.8kWh capacity lithium-ion battery, the 508 Sportswagon Plug-In Hybrid provides a WLTP test range of 55km2.

Complimenting the 508 GT Fastback Plug-In Hybrid that launched in March 2022, the launch of the electrified 508 Sportswagon also signifies a new era for the 508 in Australia, with the range refined for MY23 to offer exclusively plug-in hybrid powertrains.

Kate Gillis, Managing Director PEUGEOT Australia, said: “The 508 Sportswagon Plug-In Hybrid offers an enriched driving experience with an array of smart technology working to enhance overall performance and efficiency whilst retaining the French allure and dynamic style our 508 customers love.

“As we build on our electrified offering in Australia across Passenger, SUV and LCV, the introduction of the 508 Sportswagon Plug-In Hybrid further demonstrates our commitment to offering choice for local customers considering a plug-in hybrid vehicle.”
