(24 Jan 2021, Dubai, UAE) On the back of the success of the 508, PEUGEOT today unveiled the all-new 508 GT in the GCC. With an output of 217 HP and 300 Nm of torque, the range-topping PEUGEOT 508 GT also features a brand new 8-speed automatic transmission that sees the French brand offer customers a dynamic and sportier variant of its radical saloon.
Previously available in three trim levels, “Active”, “Allure”, and “GT-line”, the 1.6 litre turbo engine found in the all–new PEUGEOT 508 GT will receive a significant power boost of 52 HP, providing an instinctive and versatile driving experience that exemplifies the brand’s vision of an exciting future.
508 Exterior:
Whilst remaining true to its acclaimed predecessors – the iconic PEUGEOT 504 and 504 coupé – the 508 GT is a sleeker, more seductive shape. The front end’s purposeful stance is highlighted by the radiator grill, complete with a chrome-plated chequerboard effect, which sits between the LED headlights with the famous PEUGEOT Lion centred on its grill and the 508 logo on the bonnet. Vertical LED daytime running lights provide a distinct identity, and the bonnet has been lowered to enhance the dynamic look perfectly aligned with modern PEUGEOT design language. The roof line of the 508 GT is low and sleek – following premium sector design cues – and the rear lights are framed in a glossy black horizontal strip that now features on many of PEUGEOT latest vehicles. Three-dimensional full LED rear lights inspired by recent PEUGEOT concept cars appear like coloured ‘lion claws’ a design feature synonymous with the PEUGEOT brand. The 508 GT features cutting-edge technology – including the latest evolution of its trademark PEUGEOT i-Cockpit®.PEUGEOT i-Cockpit:
