Peugeot kicks off new 508 SW range with stylish First Edition
Limited-run model features styling upgrades and high-spec interior
Peugeot has chosen its home turf, the Paris Motor Show, to reveal the 508 SW First Edition. This introductory model kicks off sales of the new estate car across Europe.
The First Edition is based on the range-topping GT trim, but adds unique styling touches and interior equipment.
Available in two colours – Twilight Blue and Amazonite Grey – the First Edition also adds several exterior styling upgrades, including a gloss black grille surround and 19-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels with a two-tone finish.
The interior boasts black headlining, blue mood lighting, aluminium detailing on the pedals and door sills plus a Zebrano wood finish for the boot floor, reminiscent of that in the Mercedes CLS Shooting Brake. There’s carbon effect trim for the dashboard and soft Nappa leather upholstery, available in either black or red.
As befits a range-topping trim, the 508 SW First Edition is available exclusively with the two most powerful engines from the range. One petrol and one diesel engine are offered, with power outputs of 222bhp and 178bhp respectively.
Elsewhere, there’s all the tech you’ll find on the GT model, including several innovations not seen on a Peugeot model before. In addition to the 10-inch infotainment display, there’s inductive smartphone charging, a high-end FOCAL sound system and night vision tech.
Peugeot has not announced pricing for the 508 SW First Edition, but expect a modest increase over the £37,014 starting price for the equivalent hatchback model.
