Peugeot will add starting this summer the new 207 facelift to its line-up. By the end of the first half of 2009 Peugeot will have completely modernized all its vehicles in this segment.
On the exterior the new 207 will feature a redesigned front combining natural dynamism with a softer visual look, spectacular new rear lights using panels of luminescent diodes and more body colored surfaces and chrome detailing.
The 407 has an elegance that truly stands out in its segment, in keeping with the 207 and 308. Its excellent resale value and reliability are combined with competitive running costs, as confi rmed by surveys carried out recently in Germany. In terms of handling it excels, combining active safety, driving involvement and comfort of a high level. Incorporating the very best technical solutions, this recognised expertise will be referred to as Peugeot Road Touch Tech in communications to the general public.
Subtle visual improvements updating a design that is just as dynamic and bold as before but now features more in terms of elegance, robustness and high quality, both externally and internally. New enhanced comfort equipment increasing the appeal of the different versions by offering even greater specification and well-being to its occupants, particularly onboard temperature control and new telematics systems.
It is available with a choice of four- and six-cylinder engines featuring the latest technology, particularly on the HDi diesel versions, the most popular engine specifi ed in the 407. These include an uprated 2.0-litre HDi engine with a 6-speed manual gearbox which develops a power of 103 kW (140bhp), an increase of 3 kW (4bhp). It also benefi ts from a fuel consumption of 5.6 litres/100km (42.0mpg) and CO2 emissions reduced to 150g/km.
Peugeot has added today a new model in its line-up: the new 5008, a model destined for the big families that want to enjoy the luxury and the comfort during the ride.
The new 5008 is a 7-seater compact MPV model with a length of 4.53 meters and a height of 1.64 m. It offers a total cargo volume of 2506 liters with the last two rows of seats down.
Standard equipment include: head-up display, a distance alert system,, Snow Motion system, two different navigation systems, a rear-passenger multi-media system.
Under the hood Peugeot placed two petrol engines: 1.6 litre VTi with 120 bhp and 156 hp; and four diesel engines: two versions of 1.6 litre HDi with 110 hp and 2.0 litre HDi with 150 and 163 hp.
The official debut will be made in September at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
Peugeot UK has launched a special edition for its 4007 SUV. Called Sport XS, the new version is on sale at a price of £24,695.
The Sport XS package adds: five-seat configuration with special black leather upholstery, a full exterior Sport styling kit and 18” alloy wheels, chrome side bars, wing mirror covers, door handles and a twin tail pipe extension. Body coloured front lower and rear roof spoilers completes the distinctive exterior. Bluetooth handsfree telephone facility is also a standard feature of 4007 Sport XS.
Positioned at the crossroads between several existing vehicles: the SUV, the MPV and hatchback, the 3008 crossover represents a new and innovative offer, not only in the Peugeot range but also in today’s car market as a whole.
The architecture of the 3008 successfully combines a single-compartment body shape with a forward-positioned front windscreen with elements borrowed from the world of the SUV, such as its lower tailgate (or hobby), its plunging side windows and its raised driving position.
At the front, the Peugeot styling genes have evolved to adapt to the car’s generous size, while at the rear the wide sculpted flanks help to visually attach the car to the road.
The 3008 will be offered with a choice of six power trains featuring two petrol engines and two HDi FAP diesel engines with output between 110 and 156 hp. All the engine are coupled to either a 6-speed manual gearbox or a 5-speed automatic one.
First launched in 1998, the 206 subcompact car turned out to be a very successful model and the 6.5 million units sold are the best proof.
The 206+ is intended for the core European market. It offers a range of engine options, with a 1.1 l petrol engine developing 44 kW (60 bhp) and a 1.4 l developing 75 bhp, as well as a 1.4 l HDi Diesel engine developing 70 bhp, keeping the carbon footprint under control thanks to CO2 emissions as low as 110 g/km.
The 206+ is thus a "range entry" product, in line with clients’ expectations: a benchmark car, modern and modernised, and above all accessible to as many people as possible, without compromising its appeal. Its interior has been designed with care, with a new "wave-look" dashboard and decorative touches that evoke the motorcycle world.
Peugeot unveiled at the Paris Auto Show the HYmotion3 compressor, a three wheel drive vehicle. It’s a gas/electric hybrid that is kinda like a cross between car (or golf cart) and a scooter. With small size come fuel economy (CO2 emissions of only 47 g/km in the combined cycle, zero in electric only mode).
This vehicle incorporates HYmotion technology, also featured on other concept-cars in the Peugeot exhibition space at the Paris Motor Show. This new generation hybrid technology incorporates the supercharged petrol engine already featured in the Peugeot Satelis scooter. With a power of 15 kW (20 bhp) driving the rear wheel, it is combined with two electric motors, each with an output of 3 kW, located in the front wheels.
This configuration develops a maximum power of 21 kW (29 bhp) for a particularly low fuel consumption of 2.0 liters/100 km and CO2 emissions of 47 g/km in the combined cycle, or 0 in electric only mode.
A second concept to be revealed by Peugeot at the Paris Auto Show (next to the RC) will be the Prologue concept car. Anticipating future trends, the Prologue proposes an innovative combination of ideas at a number of different levels: its architecture, its style, its interior ambiance, its modularity, its original high-tech equipment and also its new generation hybrid technology.
In fact, thanks to this technology, this 200 bhp car offers unexpected levels of performance combined with significantly reduced CO2 emissions: 109 g/km in the combined cycle, or zero in electric only mode!
Peugeot will unveil at the final round of the 2008 Le Mans Series at Silverstone the 908 HDi FAP equipped with hybrid power featuring a kinetic energy recovery system.
The 908 HY can be powered in one of three ways: electric mode only, internal combustion engine only, a combination of the two.
The system features three key elements: a 60kW gear-driven electric motor-generator which takes the place of the conventional starter motor, batteries which permit recovered energy to be stored in 600 lithium-ion cells divided into 10 battery packs and an electronic power converter which controls the flow of energy between the batteries and the motor-generator.
Peugeot uses the designation "RC" to show where it will be taking its designers in the future. This latest car is certainly falls under this catagory considering the actual name is "RC..." Just like the Peugeot RC concept cars of 2002 and the 908 RC of two years ago, this RC is the future of Peugeot. Although darkness distorts these pictures, the car’s long hood and sloping roofline are still clearly visible.
Powered by a 313 hp gas/electric hybrid engine delivering CO2 emissions of 109 g/km in the combined cycle or ZERO in electric mode. According to Peugeot, "the RC… is an accessible and versatile car, with four doors, four seats and a highly innovative hybrid architecture”.
It believes the eco-efficient RC... is a car that combines the combining respect for the environment with driving pleasure.
We expect more details about the car to be coming soon before the official viewing at the Paris Auto Show in October.
