The 2008 Paris Motor Show is the main event of the week and we have more cars for you to view. Peugeot has a hybrid concept ready to be tested. It’s the new Prologue HYmotion4.
The Prologue has the new HYmotion4 system we’ll see in the RC concept later on. The CUV comes with a 2.0 liter four-cylinder turbodiesel engine capable to offer you some 163 horsepower for the front wheels. The rear axle will get power from a 27 kW motor. That’s right the powertrain is arranged from front to back.
You will end up with 200 horsepower from the combined engines and a 221lbs.-ft. torque for the front wheels and 148 lbs.-ft. to the back. That means you can choose to drive the HYmotion4 by using the front, the rear, or both engines. The Prologue is a car I would definitely drive. It’s the 57.4 mpg that attracts me to it.
