Peugeot 508 SW rivals

The SW may look very lengthy to the naked eye when compared with the saloon but it's only 2cm longer, giving the car good manoeuvrability in town as well as good road manners when out on the open road. The svelte shape of the SW may attract business or fleet drivers to its ranks but can it cut the mustard as a practical tourer for families at the weekends? It has its work cut out though because there are plenty of rivals with good credentials.
Peugeot 508 SW 2013 facelift
