It has only been a few months since Peugeot spun out its newly designed 508 mid-size model in both saloon and Station Wagon formats, but the French acarmaker is already working on a new derivative inspired by its high-riding 207 Outdoor model.
Our spy photographers snagged a prototype version of the 508 Outdoor testing on European roads. Even though Peugeot’s full-body plastic wraps leave much to the imagination, it is obvious that the car rides on a jacked up suspension.
If the 207 Outdoor is anything to go by, the 508 Outdoor should keep its front - wheel drive layout adding the obligatory for any faux-4 x 4 wheel arch extensions, beefed up front and rear bumpers, along with a full-length glass roof.
The engine range will most likely mirror that of the standard 508 SW offering several choices including 1.6-liter gasoline and 2.0-liter turbo diesel units.

This will be the second Peugeot to feature the HY4 (Diesel Hybrid) technology making it a 4x4 by means of a diesel engine propelling the front wheels and electric motors driving the rear. Peugeot it seems have got their mojo back and are leading the way for USEFUL green technology....try 200bhp, 4x4, big sports wagon body, auto box and 75+mpg.....yes please!
