Driving Enjoyment
One of Peugeot's priorities is to continue
its environmental leadership in the years to come. This 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.
Under the bonnet, the internal combustion
engine is a 1.6 liter THP petrol engine delivering 218 hp. It continues the
downsizing strategy of the PSA Group which uses the most advanced technology to
manufacture small capacity engines combining a high level of performance and
environmental efficiency. Coupled with a 95 hp electric motor, the maximum
potential power output is 313 hp.
The efficiency of this drive train,
coupled with the acknowledged expertise of the Marque in terms of road holding,
allows the SXC Concept Car to combine the emotion of real driving enjoyment with
the pursuit of a high level of environmental efficiency, promising its driver a
unique driving experience.
