Introducing the “5 BY PEUGEOT” concept car
Peugeot is marking its bicentennial with the launch of another stunning concept car.
The “5 BY PEUGEOT” – a luxury saloon powered by Peugeot’s HYbrid4 technology – will be officially unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March.
Perfectly balancing charisma with dynamic driving, the “5 BY PEUGEOT” sets a fresh, innovative benchmark for large touring car and saloon production.
Design
The “5 BY PEUGEOT” epitomises the new brand direction for Peugeot, combining Motion & Emotion. It is a timeless yet modern design, offering quality, performance and efficiency… surpassing all the demands of the luxury saloon segment.
Style
The concept car boasts sublime elegance with a smooth, uninterrupted profile and streamlined sides.
Spectacular LED lights are highlighted by the use of illuminated surrounds that blend perfectly with the overall exterior body styling, while brushed-aluminium window surrounds and door handles add to the exterior style.
Meanwhile, sturdy 19-inch wheel trims and exceptional interior design outline Peugeot’s strength and pedigree in developing luxury saloon vehicles.
Drive
The HYbrid4 technology – which will be seen in Peugeot’s 3008 in 2011 – ensures high levels of driving enjoyment and environmental commitment. The “5 BY PEUGEOT” has a 2.0 litre HDi FAP163 bhp diesel engine mounted at the front, combined with a 37 bhp electric motor at the rear. This provides power of up to 200 bhp. The concept car also features four-wheel drive, low fuel consumption of just 74.3mpg and emits 99 g/km of CO2… with zero emissions when the car is running in electric mode.
