PARIS: Peugeot will be giving visitors to the April 8-14 Milan Design Week a glimpse into the brand’s electric future, with features including a spectacular light display, a pride of Peugeot lion ambassadors, and a selection of innovative new models that have started Peugeot’s electric transition.
An impressive five metre tall electrified Lion sculpture will come covered in flowing green and blue dichroic graphics, standing among a collection of 40 one metre tall lion models.
The immersive Lion sculpture was created by the Peugeot Design Lab to mark the 160th anniversary of the Peugeot emblem in 2018, and now stands as a showcase for the styling cues of the upcoming electric vehicle (EV) range.
The e-LEGEND CONCEPT will be one of the EVs on display in Milan. Unveiled at the 2018 Paris Motor Show the e-LEGEND Concept was the first look at Peugeot’s ambitions for an electric future.
With a design inspired by the retro 504 coupé, the e-LEGEND taps into the brand’s sporting heritage while presenting a sleek and stylish vision of the future of electric vehicles.
Powered by a full electric powertrain, with 100kWh batteries providing 800Nm torque and 340Kw power, allowing a range of up to 600km, the e-LEGEND Concept is capable of reaching 0-100kph in less than 4s and a maximum speed of 219kph.
The e-LEGEND Concept is designed to provide drivers with an immersive experience with top of the range tech at their fingers tips, through the aid of the Peugeot i-Cockpit, AI technology voice activated personal assistant through SOUNDHOUND Inc. and premium FOCAL Sound system.
Joining the e-LEGEND Concept will be the all-new 208 and e-208, the first model from Peugeot’s new generation of fully electric vehicles.
The e-208 comes with a 100kW electric motor and 50kWh battery, producing a range of up to 340km, according to WLTP procedures.
The all-new Peugeot e-208 and 208 provide motorists with the latest intelligent driver aids and “jump in” next generation technology including the new 3D i-Cockpit and a 7 or 10” capacitive colour touchscreen.
Peugeot will also be presenting its latest electric designs for two-wheeled transport at Milan, with a range of new Peugeot Cycles. The range includes the electric folding eF01 bike, retro-inspired LU01 and eLC01 ‘e-LEGEND’.
