Peugeot has released the first official photos of the new 508 RXH, an AWD hybrid model featuring the automaker's Hybrid4 drive technology.

Similar conceptually to the Audi A4 Allroad Quattro, the 508 RXH rides on a jacked-up suspension and also comes with distinct styling features including a new front bumper with 3 vertical LED strips on each side, chrome roof rails, bigger 18-inch wheels.


The 508 RXH is equipped by a 2.0-liter HDi diesel engine coupled with an electric motor mounted on the rear axle for a total output of 200 hp and 450 Nm of torque. The technology was first introduced in the 3008 Hybrid4.

The 508 RXH returns a combined fuel economy of 4.2-liter/100km (70.6 mpg) and CO2 emissions of 109 g/km. Besides, the hybrid setup also allows the 508 RXH to run on pure electric mode with zero emissions

The car will debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September and on sale across Europe in spring of 2012.
