Like most cars in this class, the 107 is often the second and even third car in the family. It differs in its segment for customers even more women and a higher percentage of singles. Meets first and foremost for the handling, driving pleasure and economy of use, above average in its class. After more than 665 000 units produced at the end of 2011, la107 wrote today a new page in its history, with the aim to develop the winning qualities in an increasingly competitive segment. With a completely redesigned front and size unchanged, la107 adopt the new Peugeot's stylistic codes, with a refined style and sophisticated at the same time, built around the mechanics, while maintaining the original compact. The new bonnet with more convex integrates the new identity of the brand: In fact, the rib around the Lion and the two-color plate repositioned to the center of the bumper fascia suggest kinship with the 208. While maintaining their shape and the high position, the headlights become more refined: the front, now more elongated, have a body of the lighthouse in two shades - a reference to the color of the emblem placed on the hood - while the rear has a body surrounding dark ruby red lights.

The new radiator grille, a network composed of honeycomb-specific 107, forms a subtle and refined mouth, suspended from the body color that surrounds it. "And 'another interpretation of the grille suspended, pack size, and adapted architecture of 107 " Ivo Groen, head style, 107. The new bumper is equipped with side strips - one in front and two sides - with aesthetic and security, which are particularly useful for city driving conditions. La107 adopts a new visual signature, thanks to LED daytime running lights, which highlight the side shields and, depending on the trim level, fog lamps complemented by a chrome strip.

All these elements of style, highly processed, combined with a line of sharp lower body moldings and new, give the 107 a new identity, modern and friendly, combining sophistication with an elegant and robust appearance.

The LED daytime running lights and fog lamps, now available as an option or as standard depending on the level of construction, contribute to the safety of its occupants, making the car more visible in all conditions. Finally, "last but not least," already well positioned in its segment with regard to environmental performance, the 107 further reduces the levels of CO2 emissions: 99 and 104 g / km respectively in versions with manual transmission and robotic. Its economy is improved utilization, with consumption now reduced to 4.3 liters per 100 km with manual transmission and 4.5 l per 100 km with the robotized transmission.

Next March will launch a special series called "URBAN MOVE", very feminine. This fashionable and glamorous version, the new color "Plum or" Caldera Black ", boasts decorative elements with a specific motif that plays a branch of cherry blossoms, recognizable in the stickers on the back door, bonnet and tailgate, and embroidered floor mats in with a border color "Plum" and in a central decoration on the tachometer.

Peugeot 3008 HYbrid4 with H2 and Ion



Peugeot has always historically been a major player for a truly eco-sustainable mobility, with concrete proposals that could be usable by a wide section of customers. The most recent examples, H2, and have 3008 HYbrid4 iOn. 3008 HYbrid4 offers an unprecedented combination in terms of propulsion is the first model in the world where the hybridization is obtained by a 163 hp 2.0 turbo diesel (HDi series, which, combined with the FAP ® particulate filter, is already setting up a of the most "clean" of the market) and a front-mounted electric 37 hp that moves the rear wheels. In addition, a reversible alternator 8 kW ensures the Stop & Start function silently and without vibration. Finally, an energy recovery system (the rear electric motor becomes a generator) allows, during deceleration (release of the pedal 'acceleration and braking) to transform the kinetic energy into electricity to recharge the batteries. The recovery, therefore, allows energy to use "free" and to reduce consumption and therefore emissions, in equal measure.

3008 HYbrid4 will be available to visitors to some country, the H2 can occur on the street with the convenience and ease of use of the car, now close to commercialization in our market. Peugeot's engineers have wanted to use the most simple and transparent as possible in everyday use.

Selecting the Auto mode, the 3008 HYbrid4 manages itself and the optimal combination of the diesel engine and electric. Instead, for those wishing to get a precise characteristics of the car, there are three modes: ZEV (ie, with only the electric drive), 4WD (four wheel drive obtained with the "work" for both engines) and Sport. Each driver has the freedom to use the 3008 HYbrid4 as they wish and in absolute simplicity, with emission levels starting at 99 g / km of CO2.

Another distinguishing feature of this Peugeot diesel hybrid is the 6-speed sequential automatic gearbox. Its electronic control allows you to significantly reduce fuel consumption than an automatic transmission, a reduction that becomes even more significant than a traditional manual transmission, to the benefit of reduced emissions.



It also offers real driving pleasure in the possibility to choose, at any time, the input mode of the speed, automatic or sequential, using the levers behind the steering wheel. With each shift, the torque decreases are offset by the contribution of the electric motor. This allows for gear changes in the sweetest way to optimal operating comfort. With iOn, 100% electric car, Peugeot offers the right vehicle to business fleets operating in urban areas and those who travel primarily in the city. Agile, safe, quiet, quick, lets you live the hectic daily life of a metropolis in a sustainable manner, helping with the absence of emissions and noise, improve the quality of the environment around us.

With a top speed of 130 mph, iOn has no shortage of character and vivacity, as evidenced by the 3.5 seconds to accelerate from 30 km / h to 60 km / h. The autonomy of 150 kilometers, while the full battery charge is done in six hours, connecting to the classic household power outlet. The rapid charging, connecting to a specific terminal, the battery will recharge to 50% in just fifteen minutes or 80% in thirty minutes.

Peugeot 208, a compact and versatile



Spring 2012: Peugeot will launch a new model of "B segment" to the compact and versatile. Will come in two different body types, 3 and 5 doors. To imagine a car capable of seducing and gather around this car the most diverse customers, with continually changing expectations, not only needed a simple renewal. The project "A9" was thus equipped, from the outset, the tender submitted by the most ambitious brand to create a vehicle that represents a true generational leap. Peugeot has not hesitated to overturn a number of principles, with the intention of reinvent the codes that have built the success of the "star" 205, 206, 207 and "re-generate" to create: the Peugeot 208.

Re-generation architecture
208 has within it the concepts of agility and efficiency. The initial technical choices make a light car (on average -110 kg compared to 207, and up to - 173 kg, with a range that starts at 975 kg), aerodynamics (Cd 0.29, SCx 0.61), and very compact (- 7 cm long, - 1 cm in height). These gains are greatly exacerbated by increased interior space, with more space at the rear seats (+ 5 cm at the knees) and a more generous luggage compartment (+ 15 dm3 volume), demonstration of a yield-optimized architecture.
"Compared to the 207, wanted a car that was smaller on the outside and bigger on the inside. " 
Christophe Clochard, responsible "Synthèse Véhicule 208".

Re-generation styling
208 concrete and sublimates the new aesthetic codes of the brand. Suspended grille, headlights with an unmistakable "signature" visual, boomerang rear lights: every detail is designed in complete consistency with the overall volume, structured by a "spine" whose imprint is visible even on the ceiling. Sculpted, athletic, pure and sophisticated at the same time, his style projects the brand towards a renewed and modern seductive, suggesting sensuality and energy, sweetness and mischief. The two bodies were subjected to differential treatment, with a three-door rear pillar which recalls a famous model that preceded it.

"Small and very close-knit group, we had the same vision of the direction to follow. This gave us the inspiration, strength and energy to successfully implement all our ideas. " Pierre Authier, Head Style 208 "The 208 is the strength of his style is a real bundle of energy. It has the potential to appeal to everyone, without being too soft a compromise, like a hit song that touches the human soul regardless of cultures. ' Gilles Vidal, director of the Peugeot Style

Re-generation ergonomic
interior amplify the promise of innovation exterior styling. A real break from the proposal for existing offerings, beyond the technical constraints and the constant cultural references, the driving position has been completely redesigned to become completely intuitive and immediate. It is spread around a small steering wheel, instrument panel to a place in a raised position and a large touch screen. This set "offline" with its passengers contribute to the convenience, safety, quality and interior design with pure lines, as well as driving sensations.

"Deciding to rethink the driver's seat, since the beginning of the project, the model is intended to be the best-selling brand meant taking a big risk. All together we have shown exceptional boldness, integrating it into the 208. " Jérôme Micheron, responsible "Projet 208 Marque".

"With the" Head-Up Display "launched on 3008, in which the information is projected onto a transparent sheet, we opened a new road: its usefulness has been unanimously recognized, and its success was immediate. 208 goes even further. The idea of the small steering wheel and instrument panel in a raised position had a high potential. When we tested the first prototypes, we all were fascinated: it was so natural, easy, intuitive ... "David Marion, head of" Projet Produit 208 "

Re-generation environment
With average CO2 emissions of less than 34 g / km compared to 207, 208 is positioned as a leader in its segment. The latest generation of engine technologies and the spread of the almost universal system of micro-hybrid HDi are in addition to weight reduction and improved aerodynamics of the car. 

With five proposals, four of which are equipped with Stop & Start System new generation (e-HDi), offering the diesel emissions by 87 g / km of CO2, equivalent to 3.4 l / 100 km and never exceeds 99 g! 

208 moves into its new three-cylinder gasoline engine 1.0 and 1.2 VTi, especially performance, with emissions from 99 g / km of CO2, 4.3 l / 100 km. 208 It does not stop there. With 25% of "green materials" (recycled or natural) that make up the mass of polymers, sets a new benchmark in terms of eco-design. In a world premiere, rear bumper and the fans are made ​​entirely with these materials. This bumper will, by itself, save in a year 1600 tons of oil.

Re-generation of the driving
208 renews the pleasure of driving dear to Peugeot: 
- thanks to the small wheel that offers a new ergonomic design, the driver experiences an unprecedented agility of driving 
- thanks to new high-level synthesis comfort and road holding, derived from historical know-how of the brand that benefits of compactness and dell'alleggerimento of the car.

"The new driving position gives an important contribution in terms of driving sensations. When you enter the cockpit, it has the immediate desire to drive and enjoy the time spent in the 208. " Gaëtan Demoulin, responsible for "Peugeot Synthèse Clients".

To supplement the supply of 4007, but also 3008 and its latest version HYbrid4, 4008 meets the expectations of several fast-growing markets in the compact SUV segment. A distinctive style. Result of the cooperation between PSA and Mitsubishi, 4008 had a duty to have a strong personality, rooted in the universe of the Peugeot Brand. To be successful, the new codes are reproduced in the style of the brand wisely, as the grille or headlights suspended-looking feline, highlighted by a "signature" visual ": a row of LED daytime running lights and headlights three points red claw-like elements sculpt the rear lights.

Accentuate the look robust and dynamic the ribs 4008 of the bonnet almost horizontal and the line style that digs the side of the body being extended to the rear fender where the headlight back down through.

Peugeot 4008 Rear View


Requirement and expansion of the range. The work done by the team responsible to the smallest detail to the style office gives elegance to 4008, in line with its positioning. The exterior is decorated with chrome and the interior is enhanced by the materials chosen, such as foam and texture of the dashboard, the instrument panel bezel or black lacquered decoration on the center console. The panoramic glass roof provides great brightness of the interior and offers passengers a pleasant night lighting with LED side. For his individual style, strong and distinctive, 4008 ranks in the world of compact SUVs. Its performance and its equipment - such as access and keyless start, aluminum rims 18'', a touch-screen navigation system, or even reversing camera - reflect a modern vision of the terrain and rank .

SUVs and multi-purpose living. The platform 4008, taken in part from 4007, has been reduced in length by decreasing the front and rear overhang (-30cm in length). Have been maintained and the important step to ensure a good track large interior space at the front and rear seats.

These characteristics and its exterior dimensions - 4.34 m long, 1.80 m wide with a height of 1.63 m - 4008 make it very versatile.

Peugeot 508 RXH, the new hybrid diesel


Diesel hybrid technology and distinctive elegance combine to offer a vision of the universe to the original road and enhanced driving pleasure: the new 508 RXH. Peugeot presents its world premiere at the IAA 2011, a modern and different-range. After the launch of the 508 sedan and SW in the spring of 2011, recognized for its elegance, prowess and quality, the 508 RXH represents further progress around the Peugeot brand and reinforces its technological advantage and the environment. RXH 508 is the new top of the range Peugeot. Inaugurates an original name, which combines the traditional three digits of the Peugeot, with zero center-3, typical of the distinctive vehicles, which evoked a car unique, hybrid but also suitable for off-road paths. This new model extends and completes the 508 range with a silhouette of the original, which justifies a different name.

A distinctive gait

RXH 508 states, through style, its distinctive character within the range 508. Its elegance and its "bearing" the place spontaneously in a world exclusive, which combines high-end appearance, technology and adventure. It is the promise of new and different driving experience. With track has been widened by 40 mm, height increased by 50 mm, the new Peugeot has a specific structure, without sacrificing the characteristics of the range 508 (prowess, style and status). The use of alloy wheels 18''(model ARCHIPEL), unpublished at this level range, has allowed designers to carve very thin wheels with an internal diameter increased by 10 mm compared to the traditional circles. The result is a dynamic and elegant silhouettes high.

The appearance of "combatant" is confirmed by the extension of the car body gray finish that surrounds the car in the lower zone. Originated at the bottom of the shield, this line is extended on wheel arches, then in the lower body, to link up to the rear bumper. The choice of color satin helps to put this wagon off road into a refined world. This also applies to the satin chrome inserts, with the initials 'HYbrid4', characteristic of the lower body, and inserts the "Off-Road" at the base of the front and rear bumpers. Fully integrated, they reveal all the sophistication of the design of 508 RXH. This individual personality can be found on the front, which becomes even more expressive, while retaining the strengths of the new aesthetic codes of the brand. The grille, which accompanies a silhouette wider and higher, especially in the lower part is enlarged. This new "mouth" enhances the look outstanding. In reaching that result, designers were inspired to aviation, in particular the aspiration of the air intakes. In this way the air is channeled optimally around the grille, which breaks off sharply from the front hood.

Distinctive in its lines, 508 RXH so is the identity visual. This is the first Peugeot to use a new "signature" visual on the front. The LED daytime running lights draw 3 claws, immediately recognizable by day and night, that enhance the feline look of the headlights. This "signature" unique and dynamic is complemented by orange LED diodes 7 in an original way to ensure the function of the direction indicators.

How about 508 SW, the lines follow each other in a harmonious and dynamic, degrading to a well-placed back on the sides. The aluminum bars which surround the large panoramic glass roof Ciel extension of the windshield, seem to blend with the body and enhance the unique look of the car. Following the same logic, the surfaces are smoothed, enhanced by excellent quality of assembly. Later it is returned to the theme of '"arc" red band that lights up when the rear lights are lit. The set suggests, in the end, a vehicle "carved into the ground," that enhances the notions of elegance, robustness and quality construction.

Refined interior styling and technological

style of the bridge relies heavily on the elements evoked by the vehicle's exterior design: quality, purity, elegance ... The design reduces the clearance between the various elements that make up the bridge, helped by the presence of a central interface based on the multiplex network, whose technology allows you to free themselves from the constraints of the traditional format equipment, "iso". We find that purity in design and integration of the driving mode selector and gearshift knob Hybrid4. Halfway between a traditional gear lever and a computer mouse, the 'manettino' fits perfectly pure in this universe and technology.



The white backlighting, which recalls those feelings, is present throughout the interior of 508 RXH (the instrument panel, instrumentation and lighting in various areas of vehicle) showing the extent to which every detail, every element of the finish was treated with care. It features one of the rising of the Peugeot range, with a degree of quality that can be seen in every detail. The decorative interior trim of the car and follow the same logic to inspire sophistication, but without ostentation. The use of noble materials and sometimes unusual shades enhance the distinctiveness of 508 RXH. So bouchonné aluminum, paired with pastel colors, is used for the first time on the board. To give a distinctive look, but also to remember the electric propulsion technology HYbrid4 introduced by this element can also be decorative painted in a shade of copper gradient. This theme, hitherto unpublished, is presented in the car with visible stitching available in this shade. Outside, we find the metallic coppery brown shade of the color Calern508 RXH Brun, a color exclusive . The choice of Alcantara ® in a light color with innovative gameplay laser engraved, to compose a two-tone finish, enhances the car's refined image. Depending on your taste, the customer can opt for a leather club or only partially coated leather, available in various colors.

A generous luggage and quality

in accordance with the car's interior, the luggage compartment of 508 RXH has been prepared with care and with materials that reveal a high level of quality. Of the aluminum rails on the floor of the boot and 4 solid chromed hooks elegantly complete the endowment of the boot floor, while a load sill protection, the same material, emphasizes the robust appearance of new Peugeot and combative.

The boot capacity of 508 liters of 423 RXH is measured under the parcel shelf (or 400 dm3 according to VDA 210). Its rectangular shape, the motorized door opening, the spaces obtained under the floor (11 liters) makes it easily usable. In addition, you can divide the space into compartments, with separator (optional) can be fixed on aluminum rails in the luggage compartment. Finally, the volume of cargo can be easily increased in one step by reversing the rear seat divisible 2 / 3 - 1 / 3.

Technological equipment and enhancing

RXH 508 is offered with a single trim level with rich endowments in line with its distinctive positioning. All high-tech equipment available accentuate the exclusive character: Color head up display in color (with indication of parameters of the navigation), Smarbeam (automatic switching system of the beam), Intelligent Electronic Key System (open / smart key ignition mail), automatic electric parking brake, new telematics, Hi-Fi deals with JBL ® center speaker, Peugeot Connect services, Xenon headlights, etc..

A high level of comfort and quality of life comfort on board of 508 RXH were given special attention so that each passenger could have a specific treatment. In addition to the generous space given to each place, especially in the rear, with a remarkable interior space at the knees and the panoramic glass roof Ciel, some specific equipment to allow everyone to find an excellent level of comfort-zone climate control panels, massage electric lumbar in driver's seat, adjusting the length of the seat for the front seats, rear acoustic laminated side windows and blacked out, etc.. A road behavior that is a point of reference The comfort is also aided by excellent links to the ground: front pseudo McPherson type and rear multi-link specific HYbrid4 technology. By integrating the hybrid architecture and considering a new distribution of weight, the engineers have managed to maintain the dynamic characteristics recognized the 508 range, with an excellent synthesis that combines the comfort of the suspension, steering and pleasant road manners. So RXH 508 is the expression of a new generation of driving pleasure, thanks to its 'genes' Peugeot and its full hybrid diesel technology.

HYbrid4 technology: an obvious association

Propose HYbrid4 traction chain, which combines the diesel engine to electric, with 508 RXH is an obvious choice because it allows to obtain, first, performance perfectly suited to the expectations of customers in this segment: 
- performance high-road performance combined with a first-rate 
- the freedom to move with peace of mind, induced by the 4 wheel drive 
- a unique easy to use, thanks to the four driving modes available ("ZEV" Zero Emission Vehicle , 4WD, SPORT, CAR) and to recharge the batteries, which is independently, 
- quiet operation, with the possibility of driving exclusively in electric mode.

Emotions drive next-generation

Technology HYbrid4 also opens new perspectives in its segment with fuel efficiency that offer a striking result (4.2 l/100 km and less than 109 g / km of CO2 in the combined cycle) and a completely electric mode silent, zero emissions, ideal for driving in the city. In terms of performance, 508 RXH can count on the combined powers of the internal combustion engine and the electric motor during acceleration, that is when one is starting immediately (according to "boost" mode SPORT). The combined maximum power may well reach 147 kW (200 hp) Whereas the 120 kW (163 hp) 2.0 HDi FAP ® and the peak power supply unit (27 kW or 37 HP). The torque delivered by the diesel front of 300 Nm, while the rear electric motor is 200 Nm The cumulative maximum of 450 Nm at low speed, which guarantees excellent traction in most road conditions, including snow or dirt roads, and thus meeting the expectations of the clientele of the Station Wagon evasion off-road.



A car produced in France

The 508 RXH will be produced in Rennes and the hybrid back in Mulhouse. Its commercialization is expected in spring 2012 in Europe.
