Peugeot chose the Consumer Electronics Show 2023 in Las Vegas to reveal its latest concept called Inception. However, the fact that this study was revealed in United States doesn’t signal the French marque’s US return, however it does show the way forward for its next-gen electric vehicles that will be sold around the world.

All the vehicles that Peugeot will launch starting in the near future will draw inspiration from this very sharp looking concept that should herald the arrival of some bold looking EVs. It’s especially bold inside.

The most dramatic part of the exterior has to be the rear end which comes to a very sharp edge that we’re sure will be seen again in the production cars inspired by this concept. They won’t be this extreme, but a stylized version of this will certainly be seen again.

Two electric motors make this vehicle all-wheel drive and give it a combined output of 680 horsepower (500 kilowatts) enabling it to go from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in less than 3 seconds. It draws from a large 100 kWh battery pack that gives it a claimed range of 800 kilometers (497 miles) on one charge.

This impressive range from a battery pack that while big isn’t massive by current standards comes courtesy of its efficiency. It’s apparently able to use just 12.5 kWh/100 km, equivalent to a very impressive 4.9 mi/kWh, not far off the highly aerodynamic Lightyear 0 solar EV, which can muster 10.5 kWh/100 km or 5.9 mi/kWh.

The manufacturer doesn’t state the concept’s exact charging rate, but it does say the vehicle runs on 800 volts and is capable of replenishing 150 km (93 mi) in just five minutes; that’s 30 km (18.6 miles) in one minute. The architecture used to underpin everything is Stellantis’ STLA Large platform and the concept is around 5 meters (196 inches), as well as very low standing just 1.34 meters (52.7 inches) tall.

Peugeot also promises that this concept delivers on the driver enjoyment front too. This in spite of the fact that it has steer-by-wire and a rectangular steering… device that the automaker calls Hypersquare. It’s basically a screen that you can steer the car with.

You will also notice in the photo showing a model sitting in the driver’s seat that the driving position is really low and sporty.

Recent production Peugeots have all had very futuristic and boldly designed interiors and the Inception concept suggests that the automaker has no intention of stopping. So while you shouldn’t expect the materials and surfaces you see inside the Inception to make it into a production car, some of the shapes and ideas certainly will, albeit in more watered down iterations that will be easy to mass-produce.

Il muso di questa lo vedremo su 3008… Sinceramente preferivo la e-Legend

i muli sono già in giro:

 

 

Almeno non c'è l'i-cockpit.

Il frontale mi ricorda quegli accigliati delle Peugeot anni 80.

Avrei voluto fare lo spiritoso, e per par condicio avrei voluto scrivere che "sembra una BMW" come avevo scritto ieri sulla concept BMW, che  vagamente mi ricorda una Peugeot.

 

Ma non posso, perché questa.... sembra proprio una Peugeot!

 

Complimenti ai designer di Peugeot, che devono davvero divertirsi a creare sempre tante concept car.

 

Bella!

A me non dispiace, come con la BMW hanno riportato su un modello "stradale" alcuni stilemi dei rispettivi prototipi Endurance.

 

Solo una perplessità. 

Al netto che abbia ancora una guida manuale, come pensano sia utilizzabile un volante fatto in quel modo? 

Quella fiancata così concava mi ricorda qualcosa visto di recente in un concept appena presentata da un altro brand della galassia Stellantis.

Bellina bellina, mi ricorda vagamente la bellissima e legend nei volumi. Ma quindi probabile addio alle lacrime led, con i vari graffi che saranno di ugual misura?

Nessun post sull’instagram di Ralph Gilles? 😂
