Peugeot is also introducing a seven-inch touchscreen display, a 4-zone climate control system, head-up display and a JBL sound system.
Customers will have the possibility of configuring their 2015 Peugeot 508 facelift with a blind spot monitoring system and a rear view camera, while under the hood there are two new engines to choose from. The first one is a 4-cylinder 1.6-liter THP 165 equipped with start/stop technology along with a more economical 2.0-liter BlueHDi 180.
