SPIED: 2012 Peugeot 508 Station Wagon?

Our colegas at Diariomotor got themselves a series of spy photos showing what they claim to be a heavily disguised prototype of the Peugeot 508 Station Wagon. The French carmaker teased the sedan version of the 508, which will replace both the 407 and 607 saloons, with the "5 by Peugeot" concept model at the 2010 Geneva Salon this past March.

The estate variant featured in these photos will most likely feature a larger and more practical boot space than the 508 sedan. It remains to be seen if the 508 SW will make its debut alongside the saloon model, which is expected to be unveiled either in production or near-production form at this year's Paris motor show in September before going on sale next year.

New Peugeot 508 Flagship Sedan Snagged Undisguised During Filming?

A photograph of an undisguised 2011 Peugeot 508 sedan (or at least that's the most likely badge), allegedly captured during the filming of a promotional clip somewhere in Madrid, Spain, has been making the internet rounds today.

If it's the real deal, then it appears that Peugeot's designers have toned down the styling a little compared to the near-production concept model, called the "5 by Peugeot", that was showcased in Geneva earlier this year (see here).

The new 508 will replace both the mid-size 407 and premium 607 sedans, taking a flagship role in Peugeot's vehicle range. The concept model measured 4,860mm in length, 1,880mm in width and 2,815mm in wheelbase, meaning it was 42mm shorter than the 607 but 168mm longer than the 407 sedan.

We'll most likely see the production model getting its world debut at the forthcoming Paris Motor Show this fall, with European sales of the sedan to start next year.

Peugeot Previews New 508 Sedan with Geneva Show Concept, Said to Replace Both the 407 and 607

The awkwardly named "5 by Peugeot" is a near-production concept car from Peugeot that will have its world premiere at the 2010 Geneva Salon in the beginning of March. It previews the French firm's all-new 508 sedan that could be revealed as early as this fall at the Paris Motor Show.

The automaker describes the 508 concept car as "another indication of the changing face of Peugeot" and as "providing an insight into the marque's future ambitions in the large luxury vehicle segment."

From what we understand, the production 508 will replace both the VW Passat-fighting 407 and the unsuccessful Audi A6-sized 607 sedan. This is also suggested by the concept model's exterior dimensions which at 4,860mm long, is 42mm shorter than the 607 but 168mm longer than the 407 sedan.

In comparison, the VW Passat measures 4,765mm in length, the Citroen C5 4,779mm, the Opel Insignia 4,830mm, the Ford Mondeo 4,844mm.

As with the SR1 Hybrid roadster that will also be unveiled in Geneva, the exterior styling of the "5 by Peugeot" is less clunky and more elegant than the firm's current offerings, while the gaping-mouth has been replaced with a new grille.

The concept car is powered by Peugeot's HYbrid4 technology, which couples a 163-horsepower 2.0-litre HDi diesel engine, mounted at the front of the vehicle, with a 37-horsepower electric motor located at the rear.

This arrangement provides a combined output of 200HP, an electric only mode for low speed operation, four-wheel drive when required, and low fuel consumption and emissions of 3.8lt /100km (74.3 mpg UK or 61.9 mpg US) and 99 g/km of CO2 or zero in electric mode.

It remains to be seen if Peugeot will at some point offer this diesel-electric hybrid drivetrain on the production model.

Spied: Peugeot 408 Sedan Prototype Pictures Appear on Forum

We are still about a year away from the presentation of the 407's successor, but a member of the Peugeot-Forum seems to have scooped a totally undisguised prototype of the French automaker's new 408 sedan in a parking lot or a garage of some sort. The fuzzy pictures hint at a more aggressive and sportier design language for the 408 that will share its platform and engine line-up with the also new Citroen C5. Follow the jump for a few more shots.

Peugeot 407 Facelift: Minor Changes

Rather than go through a full-size redesign, Peugeot preferred a light update for its 407 Sedan and Station Wagon models. Changes on the outside include the reworked grille upfront that's been enhanced with more doses of chrome along with the new headlamps and tail-lamps. Inside, Peugeot has enhanced the 407 with extra comfort equipment and in particular onboard temperature control and new telematics systems along with a new front parking assistance. -Continued

The only mechanical changes concern the updated 2.0-litre HDi engine which now 138Hp (103Kw), an increase of 4Hp or 3 kW. It also benefits from a fuel consumption of 5.6 litres/100km (42MPG) and CO2 emissions reduced to 150 g/km. Sales are expected to start in Europe over the next few weeks.

New Peugeot 408 Rendering

In its latest issue, French car magazine “Autoplus” is attempting to give us a preview of the forthcoming Peugeot 408 mid-size sedan that will replace the current generation 407. What looks to be more of a facelift of the 407 than an all-new model, the artist’s take on the 408 isn’t exactly promising especially in concern of the front end with the elevated grille that seems totally out of place. -Continued
