Peugeot has brought to Geneva a large sedan
It looks like the French from Peugeot, pledged a new policy of "the party", do not see their own future without the modern large sedan. It is true. Peugeot 407 has been unable to compete with rivals, but "1st" and 607 are hopelessly out of date. Do replace two cars-expensive. What exit? Replace one! The prototype of the future "five from Peugeot presented at the Geneva Motor Show. Peugeot 5 Concept is not only impressive dimensions (4860 mm and 1880 mm wide – in fact, as the new BMW 5-series), but also a very attractive appearance, seasoned in the new style of the brand. Now no "graze" in the front bumper and headlights stretch! In addition, Peugeot 5 Concept interesting enough "stuffing". First, it is a hybrid. 200-strong Hybrid powerplant is a standard 4-horsepower turbo diesel with 163 2.2 liter, assisted by a 50-horsepower electric motor, located behind. Discrepancies in the numbers related to the fact that the power of this setup are not summed directly. And secondly, the Peugeot 5 Concept four-wheel drive! It is for this that the motor and stands behind. That modest for such sizes and power status, Peugeot has other benefits. The big sedan in the combined cycle consumes only 3.8 litres of diesel fuel per 100 kilometres and CO2 emissions have fallen to 98 g/km. Fantastic! The exact same power plant will be in 2011, Peugeot 3008 crossover. And, means, not far off the emergence of serial Peugeot 508, which embodies the ideas of conceptual "five". And, apparently, it will become the new face of mark to tread the way in business class.
