Off-road capabilities, an electric motor that reduces CO2 emissions and a spacious interior makes the Peugeot 508 RXH a real contender in a sector currently dominated by 4x4/estate crossovers such as the Volkswagen Passat Alltrack and the Audi A4 Allroad. Given this sort of competition, the Peugeot 508 RXH has certainly got its work cut out to make the grade.

Running costs

Claimed economy for an average run is 68.9mpg so everyday Peugeot 508 RXH running costs should be affordable. Still, we would expect that to drop to around 60mpg if you are driving normally. Peugeot dealers are competitive, so servicing costs will not be as expensive as VW or Audi.
