PEUGEOT 508 RXH 2014-2018 Photos, engines & full specs

Peugeot had to update the 508 RXH range and adapt it for the Euro 6 emission standards, but it went a little bit more by redesigning the car's exterior and interior.

The French automaker launched the facelifted version of the 508 range, and since the RXH crossover was based on the same platform, this version was upgraded as well. Fortunately, the changes were obvious, so customers didn't have to play the Sherlock Holmes game to spot the differences between the 2011 and the 2014 model years.

The RXH was an adequate alternative for those looking for a vehicle that could handle more than just the tarmac. With the facelifted version, the car received a new front fascia enhanced by a more up-right grille that sported the company's badge in the middle instead of on the hood as before. Moreover, the LED headlights, foglights, and daytime running lights created an emblematic presence of the car on the road. Moreover, the silver shield underneath the front bumper suggested that the car won't suffer if it goes on unpaved surfaces, muddy, or snowy roads. In addition, the car's profile was adorned by wheel-fender trims, and the side sills got a set of side steps. For a lifted mid-size station wagon, that was unusual.

Inside, there was also an improved infotainment center, fitted with a 7" touchscreen placed atop the center stack. Moreover, Peugeot offered a head-up display with an additional flip-folding screen that showed essential driving data. Like the non-facelifted version, the 2014 508 version featured a split-folding rear bench that expanded the trunk size from 530 liters (18.7 cu-ft) up to 1780 liters (62.9 cu-ft).

Power came from either a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel that drove the front wheels only or from a diesel-electric hybrid version where the electric motor sent its torque to the rear wheels.
