Peugeot plans to launch at least one new model per year in China in the coming years, reinforcing its presence in the world’s largest car market. At the Auto Shanghai 2011, launched a new cutting edge concept car, the SXC, totally designed and developed by Peugeot’s Chinese Tech Centre in Shanghai.
This athletic, powerful and elegant concept car combines certain characteristics from the world of the SUV - strength, high driving position, protection, with a modern styling. Each detail is precisely sculpted on a body of impressive size – with a length of 4.870m, a height of 1.610m and a width of 2.035m. The very protective style of the vehicle, its generous size, its two-part panoramic roof, its accessibility through reverse-hinged doors, promise a particularly vast passenger compartment.
The concept car incorporates the HYbrid4 technology: with an internal combustion engine at the front (which drives the front wheels) and an electric motor at the rear (driving the rear wheels), this technology permits all wheel drive when the engine and electric motor are operating at the same time, benefiting safety and grip in extreme conditions. It also permits driving, at low speeds, in "zero emissions" mode with the electric motor only. The internal combustion engine is a 1.6 litre THP petrol engine delivering 218hp. Coupled with a 95hp electric motor, the maximum potential power output is 313hp with a combined fuel consumption of 48.7 mpg and CO2 emissions of 143 g/km.
