The largest of the 508 range, the SW manages to be even more flexible, while retaining the sleek looks of its smaller counterparts. The vehicle provides a comfortable ride in its roomy interior and features an expansive boot too.
Exterior design
The five-door 508 SW is an impressive-looking vehicle with an eye-catching silhouette. Electrically operated, heated and foldable door mirrors, 17-inch Rana alloy wheels, satin chrome roof rails and dark-tinted rear and side windows are all included as standard. Lighting comprises automatic headlamps, LED daytime running lights and claw-style LED rear lamps.
Interior design
The five-person 508 SW has a smartly attired cabin, with seats upholstered in a Cocher Tramontane black cloth trim. Both front seats are manually adjustable, and the driver benefits from electric-powered lumbar support. The driver also has the opportunity to get to grips with a full-grain leather steering wheel. Other standard features include power-operated windows and automatic dual-zone climate control. With all seats up, the vehicle possesses a 512-litre boot; with rear seats folded, that capacity rises to 1,598 litres.
The entry-level Active trim offers two diesel engine options. A 1.6-litre 118bhp unit is paired with a choice of six-speed manual or automatic transmission. Models fitted with a manual gearbox return as much as 74.3mpg and CO2 emissions as low as 99g/km. A 2.0-litre engine alternative is mated to six-speed manual transmission, offering more power: 148bhp and 273Nm of torque.

A wide range of driving aids includes Anti-lock Braking System, Electronic Brakeforce Distribution, Emergency Braking Assistance, Electronic Stability Programme and Dynamic Stability Control.
