Derived from the fusion of different worlds, the Prologue HYbrid4 concept car lifts a corner of the veil on a new type of cross-over.
Anticipating future trends, this concept is a formidable laboratory of innovative ideas at many different levels: its architecture, its style, its interior ambience, its modularity, its original high-tech equipment, and also the next generation HDi FAP hybrid technology called “HYbrid4” including 4 wheel drive.
With a diesel engine driving the front wheels and an electric motor powering the rear wheels, this spacious yet compact 147 kW (200 bhp) car generates a particularly low level of CO2 emissions: 109 g/km in the combined cycle, or zero in electric only mode!
The Prologue HYbrid4 is a pioneering concept car heralding the arrival of a compact and spacious cross-over in the Peugeot range. It is positioned at the crossroads between different categories and body shapes…
This concept car also demonstrates progress made towards an ambitious and promising goal: an electric/diesel power plant with a dual transmission system which opens up the possibility of 4 wheel drive: a technology known as “HYbrid4”.
In a sense, a “full hybrid” vehicle:
- Hybrid on account of its exterior architecture, with a body carrying SUV, MPV and hatchback genes…,
- Hybrid on account of its style, which blends power and protection, strength and elegance, leisure and prestige with a real sense of dynamism,
- Hybrid on account of its unexpected interior, which combines the ambience of a top-of-the-range hi-tech Coupé with practical and efficient modularity.
- Hybrid on account of its dynamic specifi cation since, thanks to the Marque’s expertise and the technologies employed, this “tall single compartment” vehicle is capable of ride qualities worthy of a saloon and still offering an original driving experience.
- Hybrid on account of its technology, electric (at the rear) and HDi FAP diesel (at the front), both engines operate independently or together for a maximum power of 147 kW (200 bhp) and a maximum torque of 300 Nm at the front and 200 Nm at the rear.
- Hybrid on account of its transmission which allows for 4 wheel drive, combining safety and driveability with a particularly effi cient environmental performance (combined fuel consumption of 4.1 litres/100 km and CO2 emissions of only 109 g/km, or zero in electric only mode).
The Prologue HYbrid4 concept car proposes innovative, high-performance solutions all ensuring maximum versatility. It offers a unique blend of driveability, safety, adventure and originality, while at the same time showing respect for the environment.
An environmentally-friendly hybrid, in step with the times and aligned with the aspirations of its many potential customers.
