Peugeot set to surprise at Paris

With less than a week to go before the 2010 Paris Motor Show, Peugeot have set their sights on wowing us with a range of mobility solutions for today and tomorrow.

Making its world premiere will be the all new 508 saloon and station wagon. The car was first showcased as the SR1 concept and is set to break new ground in quality and comfort.

Peugeot will focus on the 508′s latest economical engines with power output ranging from 112 to 204 bhp. Included in this will be the new e-HDi system which will enable the car to achieve CO2 emissions from just 109 g/km. The 508 will in due course also benefit from Peugeot’s unique HYbrid4 technology which will emit CO2 emissions from just 99 g/km yet also delivering 200 bhp and 4-wheel drive.

HYbrid4 System
The first vehicle to take advantage of the new HYbrid4 technology is the 3008 which will also be on display at Paris.

It is the world’s first production diesel hybrid vehicle, and the 3008 HYbrid4 combines an efficient 2 litre 163 bhp HDi FAP diesel engine driving the front wheels with a 37 bhp electric motor driving the rear wheels. This allows the driver to choose between different driving modes: zero emissions all-electric; diesel engine and 4-wheel drive 200 bhp in combined operation, Sport and Auto.

All Electric
Also at the stand will be the worlds first 100 per cent electric car, the Peugeot iOn.

This spacious, well-equipped and comfortable 4-seat, 5-door urban car is capable of a 90 mile range and full recharging in 6 hours. Available at the end of 2010, the Peugeot iOn will be marketed to forward thinking organisations and individuals for £415 a month over a 4 year, 40,000 mile lease.

RCZ
Rumours have been circulating of a special edition RCZ due to come on to the market at the end of 2010. Peugeot have now confirmed this and will showcase the car at Paris. Details are sketchy at the moment but we’ll have more details in due course.

Finally Peugeot will also showcase it’s other products including light commercial vehicles, motor scooters and bicycles. A press conference on the Peugeot stand is scheduled for 10.00am on Press Day Thursday, 30th September and will include the reveal of another surprise on the day.
