  • A concept with an instinct for adapting: sounds and looks good. For now

    2017 PEUGEOT INSTINCT Concept PEUGEOT has finally let us taste what the future of mobility would look and feel like. Or, at least, the team would make anything possible to make us believe that they did so. Just revealed in Spain, the PEUGEOT INSTINCT Concept caught the eye of audience and critics. And there is a reason for that.

    First of all, this thing is beautiful. And super elegant. It features all these styling tweaks that make it look as it is from the future: elegant curves, straight lines and eye-catching proportions. And let’s not forget the large wheels. When we think about it, it became a sort of a trend to use this combination of curves and lines to make vehicles look more futuristic, hasn’t it?

    2017 PEUGEOT INSTINCT Concept

    We also like the way that the doors open and the interior styling concept: pretty much resembling the outside looks, the cabin features nice-looking seats, numerous hi-tech gadgets and these very same highly appealing straight lines. It does make you think about the future.

    SEE ALSO: PEUGEOT has prepared for the Dakar challenge: here’s the new sand warrior!

    And as we talk about future cars, we should mention some of the technologies that driver and passengers will be dealing with: there is this new thing called “Internet of Things”. It is a special software that is capable of “learning” about user’s lifestyle and manages to preconfigure some settings, depending on the gained information. Cool.

    And what about the drivetrain system?

    2017 PEUGEOT INSTINCT Concept

    Well, what we know so far is that the INSTINCT Concept comes with four selective driving modes: “Drive”, “Drive Boost”, “Drive Relax” and “Autonomous”. And the coolest thing? This learning software is also usable with the driving behavior of the vehicle, meaning that the car will automatically switch to the behavior that the certain driver likes the most.

  • PEUGEOT has prepared for the Dakar challenge: here’s the new sand warrior!

    2016 PEUGEOT 3008 DKR Wehave expected this one: Team Peugeot Total and Red Bull have proudly revealed the fresh PEUGEOT 3008 DKR. Heir of one of the most successful machines from previous championships, this confident beast has a lot to demonstrate. So, let’s waste no more time and see what the key features are!

    First of all, the new Dakar warrior is based on a new PEUGEOT SUV vehicle, yet to be revealed and at the same time stays true to some of brand’s successful concept ideas. Racers will still be dealing with a two-wheel drive system and many more familiar stuff, but they will also meet some sweet changes and additions.

    Going directly to the drivetrain system, we first see a revised 3.0-liter V6 twin-turbodiesel power unit that is especially created to deliver greater torque levels at low revs. What might disappoint some of the fans and enthusiasts is that there is also a smaller restrictor in the engine that results on a loss of 20horse power (14kW). However, the engineering team decided to make this sacrifice in the name of more torque at low revs.

    2016 PEUGEOT 3008 DKR

    Further tweaks have been made onto the suspension system. Definitely a key component for success in the Dakar challenge, the vehicle now offers the aid of exclusive fine-tuned system, revised geometry and some damper improvement. Sweet.

    SEE ALSO: 2017 PEUGEOT 5008 SUV: beautiful and promising. Check it out!

    And there is also one more important upgrade. The air conditioning. Maybe some of you think that this is a tool for the whining princess wanna-be girls, but you are wrong. When a crew spends up to 12 hours a day in a vehicle’s cabin in temperatures that easily excess 60 degrees, good air conditioning system is not a fad, but a must. And they got one. Exclusive, revised and improved. Cool.

    2016 PEUGEOT 3008 DKR

    Before the great Dakar challenge, Carloz Sainz himself will test the new PEUGEOT 3008 DKR against other competitors during Morocco’s Rally in October (3rd to 7th October).

    We wish the very best of luck to PEUGEOT TEAM and we do hope that the team will have numerous occasions for celebrations!
