Peugeot had released “5 by Peugeot” concept ahead of 2010 Geneva Auto Show. It is a new luxury saloon driving experience. Peugeot is launching two model product: the development of new markets and the strengthening of its presence in its historic market segments.
“5 by Peugeot”concept is the inspiration for the next 508 sedan, four-wheel drive and an emissions level of 99 g/km of CO2 (or 0 in electric mode). which is 191.3 inches long and 74 inches wide, and the wheelbase is 110 inches, the concept is rather staid looking compared to the French automaker’s previous offerings. Aside from the overly-stylized headlamps, the front fascia looks surprisingly production ready, incorporating a massive front air dam with a combination of brushed aluminum accents and a chromtastic grille. Out back, it’s pure Peugeot, the lines blend with subtle technological details to create an overall effect of timeless, exclusive and modern design.
The engine is base on Peugeot’s HYbrid4 technology system,. The dubbed Hybrid4, Underneath the marque-specific hood bulge lies a 163 horsepower 2.0-liter HDi FAP diesel which, combined with a rear-mounted, 37-hp electric motor, brings output up to 200 hp. sends power to all four wheels and, according to Peugeot, will allow the new 508 to run on electricity alone for an unspecified range., and judging by the near-production ready exterior, we’d expect Peugeot’s new midsizer to arrive in European dealers late this year or in early 2011.
