508 here next April

Peugeot in Ireland will have the new 508 on sale here from next April.

The car, which targets the segment led by Toyota's Avensis, replaces the 407 and the 607.

Its powertrains will include Peugeot's new generation e-HDI and HYbrid4 diesel hybrid technologies. But the standard diesel and petrol engines will offer power outputs between 112-204hp. ESP will be standard.

It will be available in saloon and wagon variants.

The car will debut at the Paris Motor Show but Irish Car+Travel is getting a sneak preview later today in Paris and we'll give you the lowdown soon.
