Peugeot 508 sedan revealed ahead of Shanghai Auto Show


Getting your message out about your new model at an Auto Show is fairly difficult, the problem is that there are likely to be dozens of other brands throwing out their messages at the same time, the next best thing is to reveal your car ahead of time and hopefully gain a few headlines. This is what Peugeot have chosen to do with the new 508, the 508 is Peugeot’s first entry into the mid-size sedan segment since their disastrous pairing with Guangzhou Auto which ended in the early part of the 2000′s.

Engines for the 508 are expected to be a 2.0L and a 2.3L, the range topping 3.0L V6 is expected to be a Citroen C5 only offering, pricing for the 508 has not yet been announced but it could well be as low as 160,000rmb to fight with the Ford Mondeo that was recently launched in a similar pricing area.
