Peugeot 508 e-HDi SW

Labels: Peugeot

Peugeot 508 released a large saloon / estate of the best new (GT spec). The model that you see on this page are the cheapest variant. Two diesel variants, namely Peugeot 508 e-HDiSW and e-HDi saloon, the price is quite cheap in 508 families, although there is also a model of valuable gasoline cheaper again. After our test, both models have high levels of CO2 emissions 109 g / km (saloon) and 110 g / km (estate). Naturally, with such emissions, the tax can be cheap.

E-HDi 508 engine equipped with four-cylinder power capacity of 1.6 liters of diesel-powered 108 hp, which is equipped with technology start-stop, and 6-speed transmission with a 'controlled electronic automated manual gearbox' (ECG).



Start-stop system is as good as his rival's, the machine is not totally dead and able to live again without being felt, mesinya paused for a moment before the car actually stops. This method is better than waiting until the car stopped completely and then the engine died. Although the machine back to life after the brake pedal is released, but the flame of the engine is not stomping the gas pedal when stepped on (this happens at other start-stop system).

Unfortunately, the movement feels less smooth when driving, feels old-fashioned semi-automatic transmission instead of a double clutch system, or the latest technology 'torque converter'. When driving, all the gearshift faster, but still not quite smooth, except for elements of comfort can be further refined.

Peugeot believes this car better drive it manually, and it's true. But, actually use a manual transmission only anticipate the movement of each tooth alone. From this I think it renders its primary purpose as an automatic transmission.



In theory, the engine 508 can work with manual gearbox. However, ECG technology needed to achieve the low CO2 emission levels. Emission levels of 110 g / km can be said to be very low for large cars, and all this can not be achieved without sacrifice.

Thus, when 508 SW estate car which was successful. Trunk capacity as large as the Ford Mondeo or Passat. When compared with the saloon version, a little drawback in quality control. This is reasonable, given the heavier weight of 508 about 20 kg and higher ground clearance than the saloon.

Peugeot offers another solution to the problems in e-HDi model this by presenting a regular HDi 508 might be a bit less torque, not equipped with start-stop technology, but the same - both have emission levels of 124 g / km.
