Peugeot Prologue concept
September 19, 2008 by Alborz Fallah
Peugeot has today released details of a new hybrid concept car named Prologue. The French company says the name is derived from the fusion of “different worlds”.
Peugeot is reluctant to share much more until the Paris Motor Show next month, but in a statement today the company said the concept shows the marquees anticipattion for future trends, showing a unique architecture, style and interior ambience. The Prologue looks far more like a production-ready car than a concept.
Under the bonnet sits a new generation hybrid engine which outputs a very impressive 147 kW while releasing a tiny 109 g/km of CO2 emissions (combined cycle). Of course, when it’s running on electricity-only mode, it puts out no pollution at all.
It’s becoming more and more obvious that within the next decade, hybrid and electric-only cars will be a common theme for all manufacturers.
The new Pug will debut next month at the Paris Motor Show.
Print it: 
Very cool Peugeot! Looks much better than a Prius. However Peugeot and all the rest that are dragging their feet need to get a wriggle on, petrol isn’t getting any cheaper or better for the environment.
Best looking Pug in a long time with that huge whale mouth theme they have going.
If Peugeot can get that to market in a short time frame and make sure their quality is up to scratch, then I can Toyota having some big issues in Europe (here too I guess) and the Opel Volt being a late second comer, not the second coming it has been hyped to be.
Now, share the platform with Citroen and let them put a truly great looking shell on it.
Looks striking, and individual yet retaining Peugeot’s style. Nice rear profile!
Are we ever getting the diesel hybrid that Europe’s had in the 307 and now 308?
There are no diesel hybrids on sale yet the concepts were released a couple of years ago but production has still not begun and may not for some time.
I like the look of it a lot.
