2011 Peugeot 408 Sedan Official Revealed
Posted by: | CommentsPeugeot unveils the new 408 at its world premier in Beijing.
A decisive step in the Lion’s offensive on the world’s foremost automobile market. Presented today, as a world premier on the Chinese market, to around 300 Chinese journalists and more than 700 network representatives by Jean-Marc Gales the Marque’s Managing Director, the new Peugeot 408 marks a further step in the Marque’s offensive on the world’s foremost automobile market.
Despite being present on the Chinese market for 5 years only, the Peugeot Marque sold over 410 000 vehicles in 2009. This corresponds to a 44% sales increase compared with its 2008 performance.
Following its fine performance in the M1 segment with the success of the 307 saloon and the 307 notch-back, of which 3,522,800 have been produced worldwide, Peugeot is now quite legitimately embarking on a Chinese market offensive with its new 408 DF Peugeot.
This new prestigious notchback tailored for the Chinese market will serve to reinforce Dong Feng Peugeot’s product offer on the M1 segment that accounts for over 45 % of the total market.
In this manner, the new Peugeot DF 408 should enable the Lion Marque to increase its sales volumes by over 30% in 2010, compared with 2009, and thereby to grow at twice the forecast pace of the market.
This half-height architecture notch-back saloon has been designed and developed jointly by Peugeot’s Styling teams in Europe and China and meets three objectives: embody the Marque’s modernity, guarantee maximum safety and offer unrivalled interior space.
The 408 name follows the Lion Marque’s traditional naming logic. The figure 4 refers to the size of the car (4.68 m) and its positioning in the medium-luxury family saloon segment. The 0 in the middle signifies that it belongs to the Peugeot Marque, while the 8 expresses the vehicle generation.
With this name, the 408 naturally falls into place within the current Peugeot range and becomes the forerunner of the 8 series, the latest generation vehicles to be launched on the Chinese market.
The Dong Feng Peugeot 408 is the fruit of work by the joint venture set up between PSA Peugeot Citroën and the Chinese group DFM. The car is being produced at the Wuhan plant in Hubei province in China. It is positioned to become one of the market’s benchmark vehicles with a full-year sales target of 100,000 units

2010 Peugeot Bipper Tepee in Detail
Posted by: | CommentsThe Bipper Tepee is the latest addition to Peugeot’s growing multi-space range of family vehicles. Practical, easy to drive, compact and economical, it offers unrivalled versatility. Its innovative, friendly and dynamic style will appeal to young families in search of a car that has multiple uses and is a little non-conformist, clever and frugal.
It has five seats, a generous load capacity of 884 litres and compact dimensions making it ideal for busy urban areas. Also, with its low emissions it benefits from a vehicle excise duty of just £35 and combined fuel consumption of 62.8 mpg with the 1.4 litre HDi 70 bhp diesel engine.
With an overall length of 3.959 metres and a width of 1.684 metres or 1.816 metres with the door mirrors folded, it is clearly designed for urban driving where ease of driving and practicality are a necessity. Its height of 1.72 metres or 1.78 metres with roof bars also ensures trouble-free access to underground car parks.
The load area has a capacity of 356 litres under the rear parcel shelf which can be expanded to 884 litres with the 60 / 40 split rear bench seat folded or 2.5m3 with the rear seat removed. The rear load space is also very easily accessed under all circumstances, thanks to the two sliding side doors or, indeed, the glazed rear tailgate. Even the narrowest of parking places won’t prevent you getting into the car or gaining access to objects stored in the boot.
The Bipper Tepee has been designed with urban driving in mind. To carry out any manoeuvre in complete safety in urban traffic, large door mirrors are provided. They can be adjusted electrically and are heated in conjunction with the heated rear screen de-misting function. To assist in tricky parking manoeuvres an optional rear parking assistance system is available. For passenger convenience, one-touch electric front windows are fitted as standard and manual air-conditioning is available either as standard or as an option.
The Bipper Tepee is fitted as standard with a Radio / CD player with MP3 compatibility. An optional hands-free phone kit allows a Bluetooth® mobile phone to be used inside the vehicle in complete safety.
To ensure the Bipper Tepee is very easy to drive it has an optimised suspension and a turning circle diameter of only 9.95 metres between kerbs. Hydraulic power steering helps the driver to nip in and out of urban traffic and makes it easier to access tight parking spots. ABS is fitted as standard combined with ventilated front disc brakes and rear drum brakes.
The Bipper is fitted as standard with 15” inch steel wheels and 185/65R15 tyres. The spare wheel is located in the rear part of the floor and is a full size spare wheel.
The Bipper Tepee is available with two engine options, a 1.4 litre petrol engine and a 1.4 litre HDi diesel engine. Both engines ensure the vehicle has appropriate performance levels while also reducing fuel consumption and ensuring the lowest possible CO2 emissions.
The 1.4 litre petrol engine is fitted with a 5-speed manual gearbox: the 1.4 litre HDi diesel engine is available with either a conventional 5 speed manual gearbox or electronically controlled 5 speed manual gearbox, perfect for use in busy urban areas. Based on the standard manual gearbox, it uses an electro-hydraulic control system which ensures smooth and flexible gear changes and allows the driver to select either manual mode (gear changes controlled by the driver via the gear lever), or automatic mode (no gear changes carried out by the driver).
The Bipper Tepee is also a safe environment for all its occupants due to the comprehensive range of secondary safety equipment which compliments the specially reinforced structure.
All models are fitted as standard with driver, passenger and side airbags combined with front inertia reel seatbelts at the front (with pre-tensioners and force limiters to control the physical forces to which the occupants are exposed) and three inertia reel seat belt for the rear occupants. Since it is both necessary and compulsory to wear a seat belt, a warning lamp on the instrument panel reminds occupants to wear their seat belt and an audible warning is activated if the driver’s seat belt is unfastened.
Children, who will often be the first inside the Bipper Tepee, are especially well catered for with both the outer rear seats equipped with Isofix child safety seat mounting points. The passenger air bag can also be de-activated if required, enabling a child safety seat to be fitted to the front passenger seat.
Finally, to complete the safety devices, an “inertia” cut-off safety system detects any sharp deceleration and, in the event of a collision, instantly disconnects the electrical power and fuel supply, thereby eliminating any possible fire risk.
The Bipper Tepee is available in two trim levels S and Outdoor. The S is available with either a 1.4 litre petrol engine or a 1.4 HDi diesel engine. Standard equipment consists of: driver, passenger and side airbags, ABS, one touch electric front windows, electric heated door mirrors, remote control central locking, radio / CD player with MP3 functionality, power steering, twin glazed sliding side doors, height adjustable driver seat with armrest, rake and reach adjustable steering wheel, 60 / 40 split folding and removable rear bench seat, rear seat head restraints, 15” steel wheels with “Sketch” wheel trims …
The Outdoor builds on this standard specification and is also available with both engine options. It adds the following standard equipment; suspension raised by 15 mm, larger body sill protection mouldings and side mouldings, <0} an under–body engine protection plate, lower front panel trim, roof bars, front fog lights, manual air-conditioning…
The Bipper Tepee range is available in a range of eight exterior body colours and two standard interior trims, Marie Bursa cloth (S) and Trip cloth (Outdoor).

2010 Peugeot 3008 Hybrid4
Posted by: | CommentsA new and innovative product, the 3008, a compact, large volume and responsible crossover, positions itself at the crossroads of the paths between several existing worlds.
From the spring of 2011, and in accordance with the announcement made at the Paris Motor Show 2008, the 3008 will be the first vehicle of the Group to be equipped with the HYbrid4 technology.
The vehicle will, therefore, also benefit from special stylistic elements to demonstrate its innovative content.
This technology was incorporated from the beginning of the “T84” program, as it is fully coherent with the “off-road” spirit of the vehicle. Furthermore, it avoids any architectural limitation affecting the volume and style of the passenger compartment, two important aspects of the project. So, the Peugeot 3008 Hybrid4 pushes the “crossover by Peugeot” concept still further by providing an even more innovative response to environmental and safety concerns.
The 3008 HYbrid4 is intended to be a “full hybrid” vehicle:
Hybrid, since as a crossover, the 3008 is able to combine a number of body types:
• through its exterior architecture, with bodywork bearing the genes of an SUV, MPV or hatchback…;
• through its style, harmonizing power and protection, strength and elegance, leisure and status, tinged with the dynamism dear to the Marquee;
• through its unexpected interior, combining the ambiance of a top-of-the-range Coupe benefiting from high-tech equipment with practical and efficient modularity;
• through its dynamic performance as, thanks to the expertise of the Marquee and the technology used, this “tall MPV” offers roadholding qualities equal to those of a hatchback, combined with good levels of driving feedback.
Hybrid, technologically speaking, thanks to the Hybrid4:
• through its electric motor (at the rear) and its Hdi FAP diesel engine (at the front), the electric motor and the engine operating alone or together;
• through its traction, since the mechanical layout and its technology produces a four-wheel drive vehicle, combining safety and driving pleasure with an particularly efficient environmental balance.
Finally, this four-wheel drive hybrid crossover proves itself to be particularly eco-efficient with a combined fuel consumption objective set at 3.8 litres/100 km or only 99 g/km of CO2 emitted, even zero in electric only mode.
This does not prevent it from demonstrating a high level of dynamic performance with a maximum power of 147 kW (200 bhp) when the engine and electric motor operate simultaneously, generating a maximum torque of 300 Nm at the front and 200 Nm at the rear.
In tune with its time and the aspirations of numerous customers, modern, demanding and responsible, the 3008 HYbrid4 therefore provides a new motor vehicle synthesis reinventing the idea of driving enjoyment.

A future rich in innovation
Peugeot’s history has seen many innovations, from the first four-cylinder engine on the Type 39 in 1902, to the latest petrol engines developed through the co-operation between PSA Peugeot Citroën and the BMW Group. Peugeot was also the first manufacturer to introduce a Diesel Particulate Emission Filter as standard on the 607 in 2000. This technology can now be found on more than 1.8 million HDi diesel powered Peugeot vehicles around the world. For the future, Peugeot will remain a manufacturer at the cutting edge of technological innovation. From the start of the next decade, Peugeot will be producing vehicles equipped with second-generation Stop & Start systems on a massive scale, as well as vehicles with hybrid technology.
An environmentally-friendly future
Over the years Peugeot has demonstrated its intention to lead by example through its commitment to reducing both greenhouse gas emissions and the environmental footprint of its vehicles. Since 2001, more than 1,100,000 vehicles emitting less than 120g of CO2/km have been registered by Peugeot in Europe. >In 2007, 40% of private cars registered by Peugeot emitted less than 130g of CO2/km, making the manufacturer one of the undisputed leaders in the field of reducing CO2 emissions. Peugeot intends to develop this competitive environmental benefit even further. >It is the only car manufacturer in the world to have a concrete global policy in place regarding CO2 . Furthermore, since 1998 and in addition to all its other activities, Peugeot has been conducting a major reforestation project in Amazonia which, over a 40 year period, aims to help balance out carbon emissions in the atmosphere.
