Dubai (I-Newswire) November 13, 2011 - Swaidan Trading Co. LLC, the authorised distributor for Peugeot Cars and light commercial vehicles in Dubai & the Northern Emirates, today unveiled the new Peugeot 508, the latest addition to the Peugeot family, at the Dubai International Motor Show. The launch was held in the presence of senior officials from Swaidan Trading Co. LLC & Peugeot.
The French car maker’s new expression in the grand touring cars segment, Peugeot 508 enters the Middle Eastern market at a significant time when countries across the region have begun to focus on economic recovery and car sales have witnessed significant growth through 2011.
“The Middle East automobile market has always been a discerning one, and customers in this region not only display a high degree of knowledge about automobile technologies, but also appreciate quality and luxury,” said Mr. Jamal Sahl, Regional General Manager, Peugeot – Middle East. “We have tried to meet these exacting customer demands with the Peugeot 508, which combines strong design elements with new generation technologies and offers high-speed journeys in comfort and style.”
Themed on the concepts of quality, purity and efficiency, the Peugeot 508 has been designed to optimise the performance of its engines, enhance environmental efficiency, reduce weight and improve aerodynamics. Peugeot 508, which was first showcased at the 2010 Paris Motor Show, has received excellent reviews across Europe, Australia and Malaysia, before being unveiled for the first time to Middle Eastern audiences in Dubai.
“Customers today are more knowledgeable and expect greater value for money, leading to greater demand for family style cars that also offer the pleasures of high speed driving and the comfort of luxury, in addition to greater environmental efficiency,” said Jeremy Weatherill, Automotive Divisional Manager, Swaidan Trading Co. LLC “The Peugeot 508 meets all these demands and offers a stylish high performing car at affordable prices.”
With the 508, Peugeot reaffirms its presence and its ambitions in one of its traditional strong suits, the grand touring car segment.

Other key features include: hands-free access and starting, 4-zone air conditioning, electric parking brakes, xenon headlamps, day running lights, 156bhp Turbo engine & 6 speed Tip-Tronic transmission.
