2018 Paris Motor Show Peugeot showcases three world premières


PEUGEOT is presenting three world premières in Paris this year. Alongside the new #peugeot #508sw, the general public will discover the fully electric, autonomous #peugeot #elegend Concept for the first time, the veritable incarnation of an optimistic and ultra-desirable future. #peugeot is also unveiling its new Hybrid Plug-in petrol engines. #peugeot is approaching this energy transition calmly and with one conviction - providing technologies to improve driving pleasure. 

NEW #peugeot #508sw - a Daring Estate Car 

PEUGEOT is unveiling the SW version of the new #peugeot 508 a few days ahead of the trade launch of the saloon. The new #peugeot #508sw is breaking the codes of the hotly contested D-segment estate market and draws its inspirations from shooting brakes. Sitting low and with a dynamic shape, the new #peugeot #508sw cuts a striking design. It has successfully allied athletic elegance with practicality in its spaciousness, volumes and the accessibility of the boot space. Very much imbibed with the brand’s DNA, the new #peugeot 508 SW’s excellent steering and suspension combine remarkable road hugging performance with a perfectly mastered body movements. It is equipped with the latest generation of #peugeot i-Cockpit®. Its efficiency, safety and high-end comfort-focused design is the promise of intense driving sensations. 

NEW #peugeot HYBRID PLUG-IN ENGINES

PEUGEOT is also unveiling its new #pluginhybrid petrol engines in Paris. This new range will complement the existing #peugeot 3008 and new #peugeot 508 and #508sw engines. The HYBRID and HYBRID4 (four-wheel drive) will also be in arriving on the new #peugeot 508 and #peugeot 3008 in Autumn 2019. The #peugeot driving experience is being enriched with new driving modes both for pleasure and revived sensations thanks to the fully electric ZEV mode's magic effect, the efficiency of the four-wheel drive mode (HYBRID4), the power of the Sport mode and the versatility of the Hybrid mode. The simple and intuitive technology provides absolute freedom; the freedom of use with a vehicle that is suitable for road-based, urban or outdoor routes. The freedom to choose, with two or four-wheel drive, 225 or 300 Hp, saloon, SW or SUV. The freedom to use the four driving modes. These two new engines are a clear illustration of PEUGEOT’s vision of unrestricted, exciting and evermore efficient driving. 

PEUGEOT #elegend CONCEPT - #UnboringTheFuture 

PEUGEOT is presenting an exciting vision of the future of driving pleasure through this latest concept car, which is a desirable and emblematic vehicle. By adopting a realistic frame (4.65 m in length), this is a projection into the future of the automobile that draws on the #peugeot brand’s in-built elegance. #peugeot #elegend CONCEPT is the technological manifesto of PEUGEOT’s vision of a fully electric, customisable, connected, autonomous vehicle. Its style re-interprets the major themes of the 504 Coupé with a lightweight, athletic, chiselled and sensual shape. The cab is arched towards the back, enjoying broad glazed surfaces. The front and rear signature lights repeat the three, trade-mark claws. There are four driving modes available - two autonomous and two manual - with the choice always left up to the driver. Immersion inside the passenger compartment is total, thanks to the FOCAL® acoustics and the 49” digital screen curved towards the occupants, who can watch films, media content or even a shot of the road, depending on the driving mode selected. The materials used are warm, blending velvet and wood to offset the frenzied rush towards a digital future.
