The French carmaker has just unveil the Peugeot HR1 concept at the Paris auto show. The Peugeot HR1 is powered by the company's HYbrid4 technology which includes a 1.2 liter 3-cylinder petrol engine that develops 110 bhp and 195 Nm of torque and an electric motor with 27 bhp / 37 bhp of continuous power and 100 Nm / 200 Nm torque. The power is sent to the wheels via an electronically-controlled six-speed manual gearbox. The Peugeot HR1 is rated with a 81 mpg fuel consumption and a 80 g/km CO2 emissions level.
The Peugeot HR1 features a range of new technologies, including rear "stowaway seat" system and an hands-free onboard system control.
The HR1 is powered by an iteration of Peugeot's HYbrid4 system, and the company claims figures of 81mpg and 80g/km of CO2.
The hybrid module follows Peugeot's format: the front wheels are driven by a 1.2 three-cylinder; the rear wheels are powered by electric motors.
How big is the HR1 at Paris?
It's pretty tiny, at less than 4m long. The doors are scissor-operated and open electrically. Peugeot says the styling epitomises the design of the SR1 concept car and - you know what - we're starting to get it now.
For such a short, city car sized vehicle, the HR1 has impressive load lugging credentials. Peugeot cites a 734 litre boot with the unused seats stowed away. With the rear seats in place, that shrinks to a more modest 180 litres.
