Peugeot 508 2.Generation PSE SW HYBRID4 360 e-EAT8 - Towing vehicle

Is the Peugeot 508 also good for towing trailers? In order to answer this issue the motor vehicle must be considered from all points of view, such as whether a trailer hitch (AHK) is available at all, the torque, and the maximum towing capacity.

The maximum towing capacity of this Automobiles is given as 1270 kg and is thus quite sufficient for the "normal consumer". You can pull a small caravan with it, and also sometimes the moving trailer.
For the Peugeot 508 gthe torque indicates how well it can handle heavy loads - the rule here is: a lot helps a lot.. 520 Nm. This much torque is available, which clearly means that even if you have charged a lot, it hardly affects acceleration. If you want to take the trailer off-road, all-wheel drive is absolutely essential. On surfaces where you would otherwise have no problems, the additional weight of the trailer quickly becomes noticeable and a real problem. It's a good thing that this automobile distributes the power over all four wheels.

However, this advertisement does not yet include trailer hitch and must be ordered in addition.
