"The RXH estate Peugeot 508 has an increased ride height, more equipment list and price higher than the standard 508 SW, while the hybrid model is a technologically advanced car. "

The 508 RXH is equipped with a conventional 180bhp 2.0-liter diesel engine and front-wheel drive available, but there is also a four-wheel-drive diesel-electric hybrid model, which costs about £ 5,000 more.

the 508 RXH is economical, but the hybrid model is not as efficient as you would expect
Hybrids generally offer increased efficiency compared to the same car with a conventional motor. Oddly, however, the hybrid RXH is actually no more or less economical than the diesel model. This is mainly due to the extra weight of the electric motor and batteries, as well as Peugeot decision the RXH hybrid all-wheel drive as standard.
Both versions 61.4mpg return, although the CO2 emissions of the hybrid of 109g / km make car tax just £ 20 per year, while a benefit-in-kind (BiK) rate of 21% is impressive. The 2.0-liter diesel model 119g / km CO2 emissions mean his control is very slightly higher, at £ 30 per year, although its BiK rate increases to 23%. Both cars compare very favorably to the 29% BiK controlling the efficient Audi A4 Allroad and the 26% rate BiK incurred the least powerful Volkswagen Passat Alltrack.

Excellent credentials security offset by reliability problems
may deter While some of the complexity of the hybrid RXH the electric motor and diesel engine combination, it is conventional problems, the present concern with the 508 RXH. Although some reassurance can be taken by Peugeot to claim that the batteries of the hybrid will last up to 15 years, the standard Peugeot 508 has a middling reputation for overall reliability, the 83. survey of 150 cars comes in our 2016 Driver Power -Kundenzufriedenheit. A 109th-place finish for the final reliability is not impressive by far, while Peugeot represents 17th place of 32 manufacturers a decline of seven places from its 2015 result
There are better news when it comes to security goes. The Peugeot 508 scored the full five stars in its Euro NCAP crash tests and in addition to the mandatory stability control, all 508 RxHS with a variety of airbags, emergency brake assist (performance under extreme braking additional stop providing) and Peugeot Connect SOS system that emergency services automatically contacted in case the airbag in an accident use.

price, price-performance ratio and options

the Peugeot 508 RXH is generous but expensive
[representing1945074] Whether the 508 RXH for money or not good, is a matter of perspective. A starting price of around £ 31,000 seems a lot of money for a Peugeot estate, but it is still cheaper than an entry-level Audi A4 Allroad or Volkswagen Passat Alltrack. While these cars are probably more desirable comes neither with anything close to the amount of standard equipment than 508 RXH. It is to bear in mind, however, that when the time to sell or trade benefits both the Audi and Volkswagen will retain more value, so any savings that you will make by buying a new 508 RXH probably lost in a few years Time.
