2011 The Peugeot 3008 HYbrid4 Limited Edition: launched 300 units at the Geneva Motor Show

City Car

As the name suggests a city car is a car designed for use in urban areas, they are compact and highly manoeuvrable. 'City cars' is sometimes used as an umbrella term for a small car, also known as subcompacts or superminis.

Compact
Size wise a compact car fits between a supermini and a mid-sized car, such as a saloon or hatchback, in Europe they would fall into the C-Segment category.

Crossover
A crossover is a combination of two different types of vehicle, normally a SUV is crossed with a hatchback, city car or MPR. Crossovers are relatively new additions to the car market, but there are many examples, including the Nissan Juke, a compact SUV, and the Peugeot 3008 a mix of hatchback and SUV.

Estate

An estate car, or station wagon as it is known in the US, is a saloon car with an extended boot area. Due to the amount of boot space estates make good family cars.

Hatchback

A hatchback is similar to a saloon except access to the boot is through a large rear door, that often incorporates the window, whilst a saloon has a lift up boot lid. Hatchbacks are available as three or five doors, and many hatchback models, such as the Volkswagen Golf, Peugeot 207 and Ford Focus, have saloon versions to.

Hot Hatch

Hot hatch is an informal term for a hot hatchback, a three or five door hatchback that is considered to be a 'high performance' car, i.e. they are fitted with turbocharger and offer a sporty driving experience. The Volkswagen Golf GTI is commonly touted as the original hot hatch, and is still very popular today.

The 3008 combines Hybrid4 2.0 HDI FAP engine of 163 hp and electric 27 kW (37 hp) extra. The latter to operate the rear axle, so it is all wheel drive.
With a maximum power of 200 hp, achieves a consumption of 3.8 litres/100 approved and emissions of 99 g / km of CO2.

2011 the new Peugeot HR1

The French carmaker has just unveil the Peugeot HR1 concept at the Paris auto show. The Peugeot HR1 is powered by the company's HYbrid4 technology which includes a 1.2 liter 3-cylinder petrol engine that develops 110 bhp and 195 Nm of torque and an electric motor with 27 bhp / 37 bhp of continuous power and 100 Nm / 200 Nm torque. The power is sent to the wheels via an electronically-controlled six-speed manual gearbox. The Peugeot HR1 is rated with a 81 mpg fuel consumption and a 80 g/km CO2 emissions level.

The Peugeot HR1 features a range of new technologies, including rear "stowaway seat" system and an hands-free onboard system control.

Peugeot HR1: the lowdown

The HR1 is powered by an iteration of Peugeot's HYbrid4 system, and the company claims figures of 81mpg and 80g/km of CO2.

The hybrid module follows Peugeot's format: the front wheels are driven by a 1.2 three-cylinder; the rear wheels are powered by electric motors.
How big is the HR1 at Paris?

It's pretty tiny, at less than 4m long. The doors are scissor-operated and open electrically. Peugeot says the styling epitomises the design of the SR1 concept car and - you know what - we're starting to get it now.

For such a short, city car sized vehicle, the HR1 has impressive load lugging credentials. Peugeot cites a 734 litre boot with the unused seats stowed away. With the rear seats in place, that shrinks to a more modest 180 litres.

2010 Peugeot RCZ

With its matt black bodywork and aluminium fittings, the Peugeot RCZ Limited Edition ASPHALT, of which only 500 units have been manufactured, increases the dynamism and exclusivity of the 1.6 THP 200 RCZ. Pure emotion, this rather atypical model meets all of the requirements of customers who are seeking distinction, modernity and driving pleasure.

PEUGEOT Sesame Concept

Peugeot 407 is manufactured by largest French car maker Peugeot and it was launched in the year 2004 but bought into market a year later in 2005. This model is the latest version of the prestigious coupes. Peugeot 407 is available in three models that are coupe, saloon, and estate.

2011 PEUGEOT 4002 Concept

Peugeot introduced a web-based amateur style competition at the 2002 Paris Motor Show, inviting aspiring designers to create a completely unhinged retro-futurist design that incorporated distinct styling features of a historic Peugeot model. A total of 2800 proposals from 90 countries were registered, and Stephen Schulze, a 32-year-old German graphic artist, was selected as the winner. At the 2003 Geneva Motor Show, Schulze was awarded a trophy and €5000, and it was announced that Peugeot would create a full-scale version of the design.

The winner was the talented Stephen Schulze of Germany and his stunning 4002 design. One of the most creative car design concepts in decades, the organically-shaped 4002 is both futuristic as well as replete with styling cues from Peugeots of the past, such as the headlights behind the radiator grille that was seen in the Peugeot 402 of the 1930s.

Expressing The Peugeot 20Cup

Expressing Peugeot's new alignment with sport, the 20Cup is an innovative concept, both « fun » and dynamic: suggesting an elegant synthesis between two worlds - that of the motor car by its front aspect and that of the motorcycle by its single rear wheel. This sporty, three-wheel roadster, shown in two examples, differentiated only by colour, promises real driving pleasure through the strong sensations it evokes.

Confirming its presence in high-level motor sport, Peugeot recently announced its new commitment to competition via the LMES Championship.

The new Peugeot 907 is a concept car

The new Peugeot 907 is a concept car from Peugeot. The body is built from carbon fiber. The car was never really meant to go into production, but just to be a prototype for featuring Peugeot's new designing techniques. The car would have large V12 engine mounted just behind the front wheels (for handling purposes) that would put out over 500 horsepower

A few more things to keep in mind when choosing a car for when you build your own electric car, power steering and air conditioning. If your car has power steering then you will need to have a separate motor for that. Also air conditioning drags on your battery so your battery will die sooner with an air conditioner. There is a way that you can still use your air conditioner though; you just have to use a special magnet system to work the compressor.

Electric cars and hybrids are becoming more and more popular. If you really want to build your own electric vehicle there are plenty of resources out there that can help you get your car up and running correctly. An electric car in the long run could be a benefit because you would save money on gas.

2011 The Peugeot 207 SW Outdoor

It was only a year ago that Peugeot, the producer of Peugeot oxygen sensor introduced the 207 in France and into the main European markets. It also became the fourth entry of Peugeot in the European small car market segment, along with the 107, the 1007, and the 206. And today the introduction of the 207 SW with its outdoor charm rounds up the 207 range.

An expanding range
The 207 SW which will be available in July is expected to broaden further the 207 range that has earlier launched a hatchback version. And like the 207 CC, the 207 RC together with the three and five door hatchbacks earlier introduced will also help in strengthening the 207 range.

New PEUGEOT Flux Concept

In the course of a lap of Le Mans, for example, the system will recuperate energy for between 20 and 30 seconds. This energy reserve can be used for either delivering extra power thanks to an additional boost of 60 kW (80 bhp) for approximately 20 seconds per lap, either automatically when re-accelerating or when the driver chooses to make use of it ('push to pass') or to reduce fuel consumption for the equivalent level of performance thanks to the mechanical energy recovered (between three and five per cent)

Michel Barge (Peugeot Sport, Director): "This hybrid Peugeot 908HY is in perfect keeping with the overall mission of our endurance racing programme which covers not only the challenge of competing, of course, but also the fact that as a car manufacturer we can use motor sport as a research and development tool for the Peugeot brand as a whole. After innovating through the use of our HDi FAP technology in competition, running a hybrid car in endurance racing would give Peugeot a chance to gain extremely valuable experience that would benefit the development of production cars. Whether we use this technology or not in 2009 will obviously depend on the details of the new regulations published by the Automobile Club de l'Ouest."

The Ebony wool felt floor and its embroidered carpets create a soft and warm environment.Ruthenium styled parts in dark chrome reinforce the exclusivity of the vehicle, particularly around the console and drive mode selector (two-wheel drive, 4x4 or "lock" modes).At the rear, behind the split tailgate which opens in two sections, a large boot concealing two retractable seats houses a fantastic luggage compartment specially made by Holland&Holland.

Under the bonnet of this exclusive 4007 lies the 2.2-litre HDi engine developing a power of 115 kW (156 bhp) and a high torque of 380 Nm. A Diesel Particulate Filter System (DPFS) is also included as standard.
