Peugeot Prologue

Peugeot Prologue


Here’s Peugeot’s ‘Prologue…’ to the 3008 SUV!

The French maker has today released pictures of this, the Prologue… (complete with full stops) – an electric hybrid concept with 200bhp and CO2 emissions of only 109g/km!

The car you see here is very close to the production-ready 3008; a more compact brother to the 4007 SUV set to take on rivals like the Ford Kuga and VW Tiguan. Based on 308 underpinnings, Pug’s latecomer to the mini-SUV party is due to hit UK showrooms in 2010.

Two and four-wheel drive versions will be available, meaning buyers can choose lighter, more economical front-drive versions if four-wheel traction isn’t necessary. Seven-seat practicality will also set the French people mover apart from the competition.

Very little is known about the concept at this stage, but Peugeot insiders today confirmed it will make its debut at the Paris Motor Show, completing a trio of hybrids set to be unveiled in the French capital next month.

Along with the RC hybrid coup and the 908 HDi FAP hybrid Le Mans car, Peugeot’s Paris stand will have a definite green tinge this year, demonstrating the maker’s determination to reduce its environmental impact.
