May sees the taxi sales market with a new rising star, as Cab Direct launches the revolutionary new Peugeot 508.
If you’ve seen the regular TV ads, you’ll recognise the stylish lines of Peugeot’s next-generation saloon and estate. From a taxi industry view point the great news is that 508 offers a truly spacious cab, with plentiful cabin and luggage space, that also delivers fuel consumption figures you’d normally associate with a 207 or Fiesta.
Taxi Sales Offer
The great news for taxi drivers is that Cab Direct have secured an exclusive deal with Peugeot, offering the superb 508 SR taxi for sale at the incredible price of just £69.95 weekly + VAT. This latest deal even includes the eHDI Stop Start option, which delivers even greater fuel savings – just the ticket for the UK’s hard-working taxi trade!
Peugeot’s all-new 508 is a sparkling replacement for the firm’s 407 and 607 models. With comfort and quality to the fore, it’s set to quickly become a favourite with taxi drivers across the UK. The 508 is bigger, better quality, lower CO2, smoother riding, more agile and quieter than its predecessors. With taxi sales in mind, the 508 offers remarkable fuel economy thanks to Peugeot’s super efficient e-HDi diesel engine – providing even better value for hard working cabbies.
e-HDi Technology
The 508 ushers the era of e-HDi Stop and Start technology for the taxi industry. Swift, efficient and quiet, e-HDi reduces fuel use and pollution by up to 15% around town. The e-HDi is mated to a 1.6-litre HDi FAP engine and electronically controlled six-speed manual gearbox – a big plus for taxi drivers with an eye on easy driving as well as fuel efficiency.
Practicality is top of the list for most cab drivers and that’s another area where the Peugeot 508 really delivers for the taxi trade. The saloon offers plenty of head and legroom for passengers and also boasts a bumper load area in the boot – ideal for those hotel or airport runs.
Although a substantial car, steering is responsive, accurate and instinctive. Even more importantly, when you’re a taxi driver spending long hours behind the wheel, the interior is quiet and comfortable too.
Comfort Cab
Wide use of high quality materials is accompanied by class-leading switchgear. From a comfort perspective 508’s thick steering wheel and hugging seats put the driver in a reassuring position, surrounded by the latest engine and driver ‘infotainment’ technology.
Taxi owners will also like the stylish but uncluttered interior, built from high quality materials – it looks great and it’s great for keeping clean too. The colour instrument display is one of the best on the market.
Taxi Sales Extras
There are five model levels, each with surprisingly generous features. Cab Direct’s taxi trade exclusive deal offers the impressively high spec e-HDi SR model at a truly unbelievable price. SR equipment includes Peugeot connect built-in satellite navigation with Bluetooth and seven inch colour monitor, an ultrasonic panic alarm which can be used to alert the emergency services in the event of an attack, 16″ alloy wheels and the latest safety technology.
Big car dimensions with small car economy are available now, only from Cab Direct, at just £69.95 weekly + VAT. With no road tax in the first year and outstanding fuel efficiency, 508 really is guaranteed to save you money, day in, day out.
