Especially the 508 which was a large family car launched in 2010 by French automaker Peugeot has now been launch in Nigeria at large. It will of course take the place of the larger Peugeot 607, for which no more direct replacement is scheduled. The 508 comes with four-zone climate air conditioning with rear controls, automatic high beam, hands-free entry and keyless start, automatic electric parking brake, drivers electrically-operated lumbar and a JBL audio system. The parking sensor system also includes a feature that determines whether a parking is large enough to accommodate the car. Also comes with Bluetooth and full iPod connectivity.

The 508 is 116mm longer than a 407 and 110mm shorter than the 607 sedan, but actually has a longer wheelbase than either. It’s also about 77kg lighter than a 407 and the longer wheelbase translates to 53mm more legroom.

Contributing to the result are is an acoustic front windscreen to filter noise from outside, hydro-elastic suspension mounts to reduce noise and vibration coming from the road and an active damper on the front axle to reduce engine vibration. This makes a long distance cruiser for Nigerian user just like the 406 Nigeria once had.

The engine that may be available on the might be the 2 liter or the 2.2 liter. For now PAN will be ready to take orders as it will soon be available in the Nigeria market.
