Peugeot's new Leap

 

Hi guys.. today let's take a look on what Peugeot has been working on for sometime. Boredom is clearly not part of the PEUGEOT brand's DNA, autonomous does not mean monotonous, and energy transition will not erase 120 years of automotive history. 

The Car With No Driver

Concept cars are often an effective way for manufacturers to demonstrate their design and technological know-how. That glimpse into the future is often short-lived, but one concept car that appeared at the 2018 Paris Motor Show is this;

The Peugeot E-Legend Concept which has the ability to switch between autonomous driving and normal drive mode.

 The car has four driving modes, with the two autonomous ones seeing the steering wheel retract into the dashboard and opening up access to a 49-inch curved widescreen display. The Soft mode would reduce distractions and disturbances to a minimum, while the Sharp option would be a nightmare scenario of “maximum connection to your digital activity” like social networks. When you do want to drive, Legend mode would be your default, with a Boost mode turning up the driving excitement.

Powered By

The Peugeot e-Legend concept is powered by a 100 per cent electric power train. With 100 kWh batteries, the engine reaches 800 Nm torque and 340 Kw power distributed to the four-wheel drive. This level of performance makes it sprint from 0-100 kmph in less than 4 seconds and reach a maximum speed of 220 kmph. The range is 600 km according to the WLTP protocol of which 500 km are accessible in 25 minutes thanks to a fast recharge.

Other Specs

The body is a shade of grey subtly tinted with champagne, extremely tense. Depending on the outside light, the colour changes from a chrome reflecting its entire environment to a polished bronze metal look.

Spread throughout the interior, the digital material is divided into two major themes: Bronze-like line networks or networks of lines imitating cabinetmaking wood. It's broadcast on 16 screens of different sizes, for example: 49 inches curved under the front helm to the occupants, 29 inches in the doors or 12 inches in each sun visor. Digital materials have been the subject of in-depth reflection to fit perfectly and blend into the passenger compartment. The centre console provides access to the main driving controls through a rotary control and a 6-inch touch screen. To the left of the steering wheel, a digital toggle bar is composed of contextual and configurable commands depending on the driving mode.
