Peugeot EX1 Concept 2010
|Tuesday, September 28, 2010
Peugeot EX1 Concept Car is an all-electric two-seater roadster with a futuristic styling and an original architecture, designed to offer intense driving sensations as a celebration of the Marque's 200th anniversary. The EX1 Concept owes its stunning performance to its streamlined aerodynamics, its ultra-light structure and its two electric motors, which give the car a cumulative maximum power of 250 kW (340 bhp) and four-wheel drive.
The Peugeot RCZ - A Dynamic New Chapte
|Tuesday, September 21, 2010
More than just a concept car which has become a reality, the Peugeot RCZ marks a new chapter in the history of Peugeot "lifestyle vehicles". Its expressive and innovative styling, its luxurious interior, its efficient and environmentally- friendly engines and the driving enjoyment they create will project the Marque into a future which promises to be more exciting than ever.
Drawing inspiration from the passion and know-how of its designers and engineers, Peugeot instills its brand values in every vehicle it manufactures. Sometimes however, freed from constraints and fired by creativity, Peugeot takes a bold new step and introduces "lifestyle" vehicles that are truly exceptional. The latter always arouses emotion, inspiring admiration among motoring enthusiasts and immense pride on the part of their makers.
Certain concept cars exhibited at international motor shows also follow this example. Sometimes their power of attraction is so great that the desire to see them take to the road becomes unstoppable.
As a result in September 2007, at the Frankfurt Motor Show, Peugeot unveiled an exercise in style that left no observer unmoved: the Peugeot 308 RC Z Concept car.
The idea of marketing the car on a commercial basis quickly became a reality.
However, the transformation from concept car to production vehicle required real determination, boldness and inventiveness... qualities for which the manufacturer is renowned.
Stylists and engineers worked together to ensure that all of the vehicle's specification lived up to the promise of its exterior styling.
Indeed while the main aim was to conserve the stylistic blueprint of the concept, despite the considerable constraints imposed by its production and commercialisation, the challenge went much further. Highly ambitious targets were fixed in terms of driveability and production quality, to give the car its own strong and unmistakable identity.
This compact 2+2 coupé was, therefore, designed to become an exclusive vehicle, "something special", a melting pot of emotions, aimed at modern and particularly demanding customers with expert opinions on what constitutes driving pleasure.
Its name, RCZ, symbolises this distinctive and singular positioning in relation to the Peugeot range, since it is the first passenger vehicle not to use the numbering system with a central "zero" or "double zero".
The Peugeot RCZ therefore illustrates the sum of Peugeot values, which are constantly realigned with the times.
Designed to enhance the sheer enjoyment of driving, the Peugeot RCZ is also dynamic (the top of the range model features an all new 1.6 litre THP 147 kW/200 bhp engine), and responsible, offering an innovative blend of performance and environmental-friendliness. With its reduced weight, fine-tuned aerodynamics and modern engine technology, the entry level model has CO2 emissions of only 139 g/km.
An extension of this thinking is the Peugeot RCZ equipped with HYbrid4 technology which will be unveiled at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show. This Peugeot RCZ is based on the same power train as the Peugeot 3008 HYbrid4 which will be available in Spring 2011: a 2.0 litre HDi FAP 120 kW (163bhp) in front and a 27 kW (37bhp) electric motor at the rear. This concept has emissions of only 95 g/km of CO2 whilst benefiting from a potential of 147kW (200bhp) and four wheel drive.
This reflects Peugeot's wish to offer this type of technology on different vehicles in its range; vehicles which can be very different (crossover, coupé...) which may be based on different platforms but with a common theme: to offer renewed driving enjoyment.
Another challenge the project faced was to successfully develop this new vehicle within a particularly short time span. With this in mind, it was decided the vehicle would be assembled at a production centre that specialises in exclusive vehicles built in small production runs, inside the Magna Steyr plant in Graz, Austria.
As a result, just two years after being exhibited as a concept car, the Peugeot RCZ will be unveiled for the first time in public, in its definitive form, at the 63rd Frankfurt Motor Show.
The Peugeot RCZ will go on sale in the Spring of 2010.
STYLISTIC EMOTION
Sculptural, dynamic and elegant, the style of the Peugeot RCZ offers new harmonious and vibrant proportions based on a compact and original three-compartment coupé architecture.
The "double bubble" of the roof and rear windscreen is not only a remarkable feat of engineering, but also the stylistic signature of a car in which every detail evokes an overwhelming sense of quality and expressiveness. The front windscreen, black roof and dark-tinted rear windscreen ensure a visual continuity strikingly set off by two aluminium roof arches. From the side, its unique profile creates an original continuity between the plunging design of the front and the flowing lines of the rear of the car.
The front feline look, a characteristic of the Manufacturer, the soft contours of the wings and the large diameter wheels, the spoiler and ruby-red LED rear lights with their crystal look create a general appearance that combines sensuality and power, technology and distinction.
Lastly, the vehicle's proportions (1.36 m high) and the beautifully designed lines of the body with its double bubble roof, optimises air flow to create superb aerodynamics. The active rear spoiler also contributes to the car's aerodynamic efficiency: it can be deployed in two positions according to the speed of the car, to ensure an ideal balance between road holding and fuel consumption.
INTERIOR EMOTION
The passenger compartment of the Peugeot RCZ instantly immerses the driver in a subtly elitist ambience echoing the world of motorsport.
"Getting into" the vehicle, the driver discovers an ergonomic driving position, ideal for enjoying the road-holding qualities of the Peugeot RCZ: the wraparound seats with their integral head restraints fit like a glove around the front occupants, and all controls are easily within reach of the driver's hands.
The fluid and streamlined design of the fascia panel follows the steeply inclined style that has won many plaudits in the manufacturer's latest models, and here fits perfectly into the distinctive world of this coupé.
The use of high quality materials combines with the elegant contours to enhance the refined overall atmosphere.
Beneath the eye line of the driver, mirroring the clock located in the centre of the fascia panel, the instrument panel dials are contained in metal cases, with photo-etched, back-lit markings.
The fascia panel is covered entirely with an innovative soft feel material, hi-tech in appearance and very elegant. The customer can also choose from several different colours, including a Nappa integral leather trim (a luxurious thick leather with a particularly fine, smooth grain).
This interior, its elegance enhanced by the range of hi-tech equipment it can accommodate (new WIP Com 3D multimedia system, JBL™ Hi-fisystem, USB connector on all versions, etc), is also versatile, allowing users to adapt to any situation.
For example, for a long weekend, the boot offers a capacity of 384 litres (321 dm3 according to the VDA standard) added to which are storage spaces under the floor. There is potential to increase this capacity further by folding the rear seat backs down, which gives a maximum boot volume of 760 litres (639 dm3 VDA).
Finally, it offers two occasional seats, fully sculpted and perfectly usable, especially since the design of the roof with its double bubble offers extra headroom to these occasional rear passengers.
ENGINEERING EMOTION
I n 2010, three engines will find their place under the large aluminium bonnet of the Peugeot RCZ. High-performance engines in every sense of the term: generous torque and power, low fuel consumption and CO2 emissions and compliance with the Euro 5 standard. These environmental concerns were one of the project's key priorities, constituting a modern and responsible approach for a vehicle in this segment.
1.6 litre THP 147 kW (200 bhp) BVM6
This all new engine (which will appear in the summer of 2010) allows the car's chassis to fulfil its true potential. With its maximum torque of 255 Nm at 1700 rpm (or 275 with overboost) and a maximum power of 147 kW at 5800 rpm, the Peugeot RCZ benefits from dynamic acceleration (80 to 120 kph in 6.5 seconds in fifth gear); 0 to 100 kph in 7.6 seconds...) while its fuel consumption does not exceed 7.1 litres/100 km in the combined cycle (less than 165 g/km of CO2).
For this purpose, this 4-cylinder engine with a capacity of 1598 cm3 combines all of the most recent technology to create a world first: Twin-Scroll turbocharger for performance and instant response at very low engine speeds, direct petrol injection, and variable valve lift coupled with variable valve timing on the intake and exhaust camshafts (VTi technology), for reduced fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
The "sound of the engine" during acceleration has also been optimised through the specific development of the engine acoustics. Using Sound System technology a different sound is created according to the engine speed. Just like a musical instrument, a vibrating diaphragm delivers a controlled sound output which is amplified by an acoustic duct, this results in a sound level that remains constant over long journeys.
1.6 litre THP 115 kW (156 bhp) BVM6 or BVA6
This turbocharged direct-injection petrol engine achieves a remarkable synthesis between performance (240 Nm from 1400 rpm and 115 kW at 5800 rpm) and fuel consumption (6.9 litres/100 km; 159 g/km of CO2 with a manual gearbox). It will also be available from the summer of 2010, in association with an all new 6-speed sequential automatic gearbox.
2.0 litre HDi FAP 120 kW (163 bhp) BVM6
With a capacity of 1997 cm3, this engine - launched this year - develops a maximum power of 120 kW at 3750 rpm and a generous maximum torque of 340 Nm at 2000 rpm. To obtain this level of performance it has a new generation ECCS (Extreme Convent ional Combust ion System) combustion chamber, a variable-geometry low-inertia turbocharger, a high-pressure pump allowing a pressure of 2000 bar in the common rail and solenoid injectors with eight apertures.
This engine gives free rein to the Peugeot RCZ's potential in terms of road holding while limiting its fuel consumption to only 5.4 litres/100 km in the combined cycle, with CO2 emissions of 139 g/km.
DYNAMIC EMOTION
The renowned "passion" which Peugeot gives to its cars here acquires its full meaning. Based on the manufacturer's know-how in terms of driveability and road holding, the aim of the Peugeot RCZ is to take the notion of driving pleasure to new heights.
The Peugeot RCZ benefits fundamentally from a highly efficient suspension set-up developed from the marque's other platform two vehicles (McPherson type front suspension and rear torsion beam). In addition, the car's ride height and centre of gravity have been lowered by 20 mm and 40 mm respectively compared to a 308 Hatchback. Furthermore, compared to the latter, the Peugeot RCZ is wider (+ 30 mm) with wider front and rear tracks (+ 54 mm and + 72 mm). The suspension and dampers have been adapted accordingly and, with the addition of wider tyres (18" ou 19" !), the end result is road holding of the very highest order. Lastly, when the Peugeot RCZ is equipped with the THP 147 kW (200 bhp) engine, the front axle incorporates a special lower anti-roll bar to make the car even more responsive and agile, while at the same time guaranteeing remarkable efficiency.
The hydraulic power steering is designed to offer accuracy of the highest order and excellent responsiveness.
Braking, meanwhile, is powerful and durable and is assured by generously dimensioned ventilated discs with a diameter of 302 mm and a thickness of 26 mm on the 1.6 litre THP 147 kW (200 bhp) engine notably of 340x30mm. All models are equipped with rear brake discs with a diameter of 290x12 mm.
To facilitate manoeuvres on steep gradients, all versions of the Peugeot RCZ come with Hill Assist. This function is coupled as standard with ESP which, except on versions with an automatic gearbox, includes an intelligent traction control system (a sophisticated ASR which automatically adapts the traction of both front wheels according to the available grip levels), and of course dynamic stability control (DSC), electronic brake force distribution (EBFD) and emergency brake assist (EBA). The DSC, ASR and EBA functions can be disconnected simultaneously (ESP Off) so that experienced and demanding drivers can fully exploit the car's capabilities.
EMOTION À LA CARTE
So that every customer can make their car unique, the Peugeot RCZ lays great store on personalisation, to keep within the vehicle's exclusive positioning.
The range includes: a real carbon roof, roof arches in different colours (black chrome, "sand"), a range of 18 and 19" alloy wheels in several finishes (matt black, dark grey, diamanté), black lacquered body parts at the front, carbon door mirror shells, bodywork decorations, etc.
These elements of personalisation can be ordered at the time of purchase and will be available individually or grouped together.
MAXIMUM SAFETY
In addition to primary safety assured by the excellent road holding, secondary safety, which benefits from a particularly optimised structure and efficient means of restraint, also includes an active bonnet which "pops-up" due to a pyrotechnic triggering system and limits the degree of injury a pedestrian is likely to suffer in the event of a collision.
In terms of tertiary safety, Peugeot will be deploying in 2010 at no extra cost throughout the Peugeot RCZ range - a world first - a range of call services including Peugeot Assistance and Peugeot Emergency. The latter, launched in 2003 on Peugeot telematic systems, has already assisted nearly 3,000 people by pinpointing the location of their vehicle in the event of an incident and arranging the dispatch of the appropriate emergency services. In keeping with the Peugeot RCZ philosophy of personalised offers, these services, operational today in eight European countries, will be accessible free of charge and for an unlimited period not only on vehicles equipped with WIP Com 3D, but also with WIP Sound thanks to the adoption of a "localised communication unit" system.
Drawing inspiration from the passion and know-how of its designers and engineers, Peugeot instills its brand values in every vehicle it manufactures.

Peugeot embraces the ‘new' in the world of the motor car
Drawing its strength from a rich heritage synonymous with different forms of mobility, from 2-wheelers to 4-wheel drive, Peugeot is a key player in global, sustainable mobility.
At this Frankfurt Motor Show, Peugeot is demonstrating once again its desire and ability to combine driving enjoyment and environmental efficiency with its vision to the mobility of tomorrow.
Elegance, creativity, technological performance and conceptual innovation: it is these characteristics that best describe the 32 production models, concept cars and demonstrators shown in an exhibition area of 2,900 m 2 .
Peugeot - environmental leadership
The new Frankfurt Motor Show gives Peugeot the opportunity to reaffirm its responsible approach of placing high economy and low CO 2 emissions vehicles at the heart of its product policy: to offer today an attractive, competitive product range with a small carbon footprint, and to prepare for the future with the introduction of radical new technologies.
Results today …
Peugeot is the inventor and leader in the field of the Diesel Particle Emissions Filter (DPFS / FAP): since the beginning of the decade, more than 2.1 million of its HDi vehicles have since been equipped with it.
Today Peugeot is one of the leading manufacturers in the UK and in Europe for low-emission and high economy vehicles.
This performance is illustrated on the stand at Frankfurt by production vehicles with particularly low emissions in their category:
207 ‘99g', 107 ‘106g', 308 Hatchback ‘120g', 3008 ‘130g' and 407 ‘129g'.
… but for tomorrow it's the turn of the HYbrid4
As well as a new ‘all electric' urban vehicle from the end of 2010 and the rollout on production vehicles of the second-generation ‘Stop & Start' system in 2011, Peugeot is preparing a future which, in less than two years, will combine greatly reduced fuel consumption and emissions with renewed driving enjoyment.
The innovative hybrid diesel technology - HYbrid4 - comes into its own in a European car market where the popularity of diesel engines is largest, capitalising firstly on the group's advanced knowledge in HDi engines, electric vehicles and the perfection of existing components (i.e. the 6-speed electronically controlled manual gearbox and Stop & Start systems).
It also relies on a parallel architecture : alternating in operation between the HDi diesel engine and the electric motor to ensure optimal efficiency according to how the car is driven – in town or on the open road. When used simultaneously, the two power units offer increased performance. The result: a real breakthrough in terms of fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions of around -35% in the combined cycle, compared to engines of an equivalent power output.
With the HYbrid4 solution, the innovative location of the electric motor at the rear of the vehicle offers new benefits – four-wheel drive, without the drawback of a mechanical connection – and ensures technical and economic viability thanks to the preservation of an engine compartment at the front able to accommodate different conventional engines and offering the benefit of adaptability.
Because progress means little unless it can be shared by the greatest number, Peugeot intends eventually to develop a range of HYbrid4 vehicles offering renewed driving enjoyment and exceptional environmental credentials to enhance performance and road holding, but also through the automatic and unobtrusive operation of the combined power trains.
Two concept cars, unveiled for the first time on the Peugeot stand at Frankfurt, illustrate this commitment : The 3008 HYbrid4 (now CO 2 of 99g/km) previews the production model scheduled to appear in the Spring of 2011, while with the experimental RCZ HYbrid4 (CO 2 of 95g/km), the manufacturer proposes a synthesis of performance and environmental responsiveness.
Peugeot, eye-catching ‘firsts'
5008: the new people carrier profile
Market expectations are constantly evolving: the large category of compact cars, which alone represents one third of the European market, is no exception. For several years there has been a surge of new body shapes and new concepts, all based on the high volume principle.
Peugeot illustrates this in 2009, a year rich in product launches: after the 3008, a crossover with a strong personality which successfully explores new motoring territory as attested by a commercial launch that surpassed targets, the 5008 receives its world premiere in Frankfurt .
With the 5008, Peugeot proposes an innovative interpretation of the compact people carrier, optimising the attributes expected by customers of this category of vehicle.
With its streamlined and aerodynamic style, the manufacturer's first compact people carrier comes with a luxurious and spacious interior offering excellent capacity, comfort and modularity, and a class leading usable volume, while at the same time making the driving experience enjoyable.
The 5008 also incorporates advanced technologies to enhance safety (a Head-Up Display, Distance Alert, etc), and dynamic road holding of a high level that
enhances the comfort of its five or seven potential occupants, complemented by a comprehensive range of environmentally-friendly engines and latest-generation driving assistance systems.
Also in Frankfurt , Peugeot presents a 5008 equipped with an in-car WiFi access point. The electronic unit installed in the car which accepts the customer's SIM card allows an Internet connection to be maintained either at a standstill or when driving. This new connectivity will delight both professionals, who will be able to transform their car into a mobile office, and passengers in search of practical information or even teenagers wishing to continue their online gaming.
3008, 5008: two vehicles clearly destined to make inroads into the market which will allow Peugeot to offer an unrivalled range in the M1 segment, taking its coverage from below 75% to nearly 90%. These two distinct vehicles, aimed at distinct customer bases, also share the advanced technology, a high level of perceived quality and dynamic road holding.
RCZ: Dynamic desirability …
Two years after the presentation of the highly acclaimed 308 RCZ concept car at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show, Peugeot presents the world premiere of the RCZ , a 2+2 coupé due on sale in the Spring of 2010.
The idea of producing the car commercially quickly took shape: the transformation from blueprint to reality, in order to attain a level of performance on a par with what the RCZ promises externally.
This brought with it a number of challenges; to conserve the stylistic mood of the concept while integrating the constraints inherent in large-scale production; to develop the car within a particularly short time scale and meeting extremely ambitious targets in terms of driving enjoyment and product quality; to guarantee a strong identity, reflecting an exclusive vehicle aimed at demanding customers who know precisely what they want from such a car.
The RCZ is first and foremost the expression of a dynamic and elegant style, balanced and energetic, its signature mark being the double-bubble roof which, together with the vehicle's proportions and active rear spoiler, optimise the vehicle's aerodynamics. There is a sense of newness inside the car where everything evokes a distinctive world in which practicality nonetheless has its place. Engineering prowess too, with three high-performance engines offering reduced fuel consumption, including the new 1.6 THP 147kW (200bhp). And finally the sheer dynamism of the RCZ, which aims to take driving enjoyment to a new level.
Peugeot embraces the ‘new' in the world of the motor car
At key motor shows Peugeot likes to surprise, to stir the emotions, to publicly explore the many paths of a future rich in potential. Some of these come to fruition, as witnessed by the RCZ. The Peugeot stand at Frankfurt 2009 will be no exception.
Drawing its strength from a rich heritage synonymous with different forms of mobility, from the 2-wheeler to 4-wheel drive, Peugeot sees itself as a key player in global, sustainable mobility.
Peugeot is working to demonstrate that creativity and responsibility, far from being irreconcilable, actually allow pre-determined methods and familiar territory to be changed around, to re-think mobility both for today and the future, in fact to re-invent the car, in all of its dimensions!

Peugeot embraces the ‘new' in the world of the motor car
Drawing its strength from a rich heritage synonymous with different forms of mobility, from 2-wheelers to 4-wheel drive, Peugeot is a key player in global, sustainable mobility.
At this Frankfurt Motor Show, Peugeot is demonstrating once again its desire and ability to combine driving enjoyment and environmental efficiency with its vision to the mobility of tomorrow.
Elegance, creativity, technological performance and conceptual innovation: it is these characteristics that best describe the 32 production models, concept cars and demonstrators shown in an exhibition area of 2,900 m 2 .
Peugeot - environmental leadership
The new Frankfurt Motor Show gives Peugeot the opportunity to reaffirm its responsible approach of placing high economy and low CO 2 emissions vehicles at the heart of its product policy: to offer today an attractive, competitive product range with a small carbon footprint, and to prepare for the future with the introduction of radical new technologies.
Results today …
Peugeot is the inventor and leader in the field of the Diesel Particle Emissions Filter (DPFS / FAP): since the beginning of the decade, more than 2.1 million of its HDi vehicles have since been equipped with it.
Today Peugeot is one of the leading manufacturers in the UK and in Europe for low-emission and high economy vehicles.
This performance is illustrated on the stand at Frankfurt by production vehicles with particularly low emissions in their category:
207 ‘99g', 107 ‘106g', 308 Hatchback ‘120g', 3008 ‘130g' and 407 ‘129g'.
… but for tomorrow it's the turn of the HYbrid4
As well as a new ‘all electric' urban vehicle from the end of 2010 and the rollout on production vehicles of the second-generation ‘Stop & Start' system in 2011, Peugeot is preparing a future which, in less than two years, will combine greatly reduced fuel consumption and emissions with renewed driving enjoyment.
The innovative hybrid diesel technology - HYbrid4 - comes into its own in a European car market where the popularity of diesel engines is largest, capitalising firstly on the group's advanced knowledge in HDi engines, electric vehicles and the perfection of existing components (i.e. the 6-speed electronically controlled manual gearbox and Stop & Start systems).
It also relies on a parallel architecture : alternating in operation between the HDi diesel engine and the electric motor to ensure optimal efficiency according to how the car is driven – in town or on the open road. When used simultaneously, the two power units offer increased performance. The result: a real breakthrough in terms of fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions of around -35% in the combined cycle, compared to engines of an equivalent power output.
With the HYbrid4 solution, the innovative location of the electric motor at the rear of the vehicle offers new benefits – four-wheel drive, without the drawback of a mechanical connection – and ensures technical and economic viability thanks to the preservation of an engine compartment at the front able to accommodate different conventional engines and offering the benefit of adaptability.
Because progress means little unless it can be shared by the greatest number, Peugeot intends eventually to develop a range of HYbrid4 vehicles offering renewed driving enjoyment and exceptional environmental credentials to enhance performance and road holding, but also through the automatic and unobtrusive operation of the combined power trains.
Two concept cars, unveiled for the first time on the Peugeot stand at Frankfurt, illustrate this commitment : The 3008 HYbrid4 (now CO 2 of 99g/km) previews the production model scheduled to appear in the Spring of 2011, while with the experimental RCZ HYbrid4 (CO 2 of 95g/km), the manufacturer proposes a synthesis of performance and environmental responsiveness.
