FactPeugeot bolted a diesel-electric hybrid drivetrain into a jacked-up estate and called it the 508 RXH.
The first-generation Peugeot 508 is built on the PSA PF3 platform, related to the Citroën C5; the saloon is 4.79 m long and the 508 SW estate 4.81 m, with a shorter front overhang and a longer rear passenger compartment than the 407. It was built in Rennes, France, and also in Wuhan, China, Malaysia, Nigeria, Kazakhstan and Kenya, and received a five-star Euro NCAP rating in 2011. At the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show Peugeot revealed the 508 RXH, a hybrid-electric crossover estate de luxe variant whose Hybrid4 powertrain combines a 2.0-litre HDi FAP diesel engine with an electric motor, with flared wheel arches and a colour-coded grille with LED daytime running lights. The 1.8 THP engine was sold only in China, and the top GT version had a 2.2-litre turbodiesel.

Owning one

Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
