Who said cars had to fall into only one category? Nissan bucked the trend first with its quirky Qashqai hatchback-SUV crossover, and now Peugeot are taking mixed DNA a step further with the 3008 – using elements from an SUV, hatchback and MPV. Formerly known as the T84 and previewed by the Prologue Concept at Paris last year, the 3008 is unmistakeably Peugeot. Its grille is stretched vertically to match the car’s tall but chunky stance, and gives the imposing look of an SUV. Large window areas in profile, as well as an optional glass roof, help to flood the cabin with light, while the over size LED rear lights and split tailgate demonstrate the 3008’s fusion of fashion and practicality. On the inside Peugeot’s innovative Multiflex interior means that folding the rear and front passenger seats leaves a perfectly flat loading area, capable of swallowing 1,604-litres of luggage. Plus there’s a raft of new hi-tech kit - things such as a fighter-jet-style head-up display and a radar-controlled...

The 2010 Peugeot 3008 has been spotted in France wearing a scant amount of camouflage, and unless Peugeot is deceiving us, it looks just like the Prologue HyMotion4 Concept from the Paris Motor Show . Updating the sheetmetal of the 4007, this crossover Pug gets a much smoother grille treatment and a combination of lines and curves out back suitable for a display at MOMA. The interior isn't revolutionary, but it's expected to offer seating for five or seven and looks like it will hold up to consumers cross-shopping the Nissan Qashqai and VW Tiguan. Four-cylinder turbocharged engines are predicted to be sized at 1.6-liters, burning either gas or oil and driving two wheels at launch, with a four-wheel-drive variant offered down the line. © Source: autoblog We need your comments below >>

Just like its Citroën C1 twin, Peugeot 's 107 has gone under the knife for the 2009 model year in order to keep it fresh and improve the model's fuel efficiency. The facelifted version features a new front-end and a redesign of the lower front panel which aims to give the car a more substantial and robust look. The front panel also features side vents with a grille and a two-part insert which can be replaced if the optional fog lights are ordered. In front a large chrome strip runs across the new bumper while new 14" seven spoke wheels keep the car's profile fresh. Two new colors are also being offered, Mandaline Orange and Electra Blue. Owners can decide if they want the interior trim of their 107 to resemble the exterior or to contrast with it. They will also have a series of trim levels to choose from, the basic version is called Urban and features grey mesh trim, while higher-end models can be outfitted with Alcantara and leather. © Source: worldcarfans We need your...

(from Peugeot Press Release) THE PEUGEOT 908 HDi FAP HYBRID Peugeot Sport presented a 908 HDi FAP equipped with a hybrid power plant at the final round of the 2008 Le Mans Series at Silverstone, this weekend. Peugeot Sport profited from the final round of the 2008 Le Mans Series at Silverstone to unveil a 908 HDi FAP equipped with a hybrid power plant, featuring a kinetic energy recovery system. The 908HY was presented in a new, specific silver-grey livery and will provide a foretaste of what Peugeot ’s next endurance racing challenger could resemble, although its use will depend on the regulations that will govern LMP 1 cars from 2009. In the case of a non-hybrid car, this energy is lost and simply dissipated in the form of heat via the brakes. However, when harnessed, it enables the vehicle’s efficiency to be improved in one of two ways: --Enhanced performance with no increase in the amount of energy consumed, thanks to the combination of the stored mechanical energy and the energy produced...

Peugeot is on track to showcase a new hybrid model at the Paris Motor Show dubbed the ‘RC…’ . Strangely, the rest of its name will follow after its debut, forming the missing link between the RC ‘Spade’ and ‘Diamond’ concepts first revealed in 2002 and the 908 RC. Despite being categorized as a GT Coupe, the ‘RC…’ is actually a four-door, four-seater hybrid sports concept. Its hybrid drive train has an estimated power output of 233kW with emissions of 109 g/km in the combined cycle or zilch in electric mode. © Source: caradvice We need your comments below >>
