Chairman of the Board, Carlos Tavares (61) has reversed with PSA (Peugeot, Citroën, DS, Opel) powerful. When someone currently comes close to the more stringent CO2 limit of 95 g/km, then the brands of the French car manufacturer. The engine line-out but was swept by: powerful, a few less HP to do it too.
our permanent tester Peugeot 508 SW GT fell victim to. Hardly the multi-Beau was launched with its 225-horsepower turbo gasoline engine, flew the Version again from the program. Too bad, this 508-top version impressed us after a few startup problems with the electronics as a brisk and, above all, comfortable long-distance runner, and let us give thanks to the Designs of some of the highly stretched thumb take. But ade GT, welcome Allure: After 9500 miles it clears up for a 508 SW, with a 180-horsepower gasoline engine the garage space.
We miss little
so Now black and blue instead of White. And two stages with less equipment. Small scare when the cruise control is not automatically in the Approach slows down – no radar sensor. And no LED light, but dimming is automatic. But the pretty fabric part-leather seats are just as comfortable. And when Navi and Infotainment, we do not miss anything. In the identical space anyway.
Saves since there is the drive? In principle, the 180-HP turbo gasoline corresponds to 1.6 litres of the 225 HP – performance you to fit a long time ago about Software instead of through the engine. 45 HP, or 20 percent, makes less Power and slightly less torque (see profiles). When overtaking spurt our Allure sounds a bit harder than the 225-HP GT, but otherwise? There is hardly a difference noticeable. The 8-speed automatic blends the Allure felt even better.
Less power, less fuel consumption?
But in consumption it gets difficult. Annoying that the EU changed during our tests were the measurement of consumption from the exaggerated defensive driven in the NEDC measuring cycle, on the a lot of everyday closer to the WLTP cycle. With optimistic 5.7 l/100 km in the GT once stood, according to the NEDC in the data sheet. In the WLTP cycle that would be about 7.5 liters. Which explains why the 225-horsepower gasoline engine had to make way. Great, the 180-HP-Allure under the factory specification of one and a half Dezi offers in daily life, while the GT with just under 8.8 l/100 km on a litre more favored than that of the converted WLTP-factory value. Full Of Success, Mr Tavares.
GT And he does not stop: The 180-horsepower gasoline engine, there is now only the more expensive Fast sports model Line; top version is now a 225 horsepower Plug-in Hybrid. Soon, we may switch again.
