Peugeot 608: The new Flagship model from the French carmaker

If recent rumors and reports are to be believed, the Peugeot’s conecpt HX1 will head into production as the 608. said to have a possibility of getting launched in 2014, the model will be about half a ‘shoe size’ larger than the Mercedes R class.

Engine options are guessed to be among a variety of diesels expected with outputs ranging from 163-275 PS (119-202 kW / 161-271 hp). For environment friendly people, there are reports of a hybrid variant which has a 204 PS (150 kW / 201 hp) diesel engine and a 95 PS (70 kW / 95 hp) electric motor. Sounds interesting, to say the least.

If everything goes as per the stories we are getting to hear, the upmarket wagon should be priced starting approximately €55,000 ($75,710 / £47,990)
