Remember the Peugeot Onyx Hybrid Concept unveiled back in 2012 at the Paris Auto Show->ke227? It was the first concept car to use design elements from Peugeot->ke68's new style approach. Now, at the 2014 International Automobile Festival, Tribute to Sensations in Paris, Peugeot will unveil the basic design of a new concept car using similar styling. It will then fully reveal the concept at the Beijing International Automobile Exhibition on April 20th.
The first image of the concept reveals a four-door coupe that is 186.2 inches long and 51.6 inches high, making it very athletic and sporty.
