Peugeot is one of the most traditional firms in the automotive sector. However, it is one of the oldest houses, although at its foundation it was not dedicated to the design and manufacture of vehicles. As a curious fact, you may have forgotten it but, had an "affair" in the US that ended with an abrupt goodbye. Well, so that the Yankee public does not forget about them, they have taken the current CES Las Vegas to the new Peugeot Inception Concept.
We have been talking about the new Puegeot Inception Concept for a while. The first time we heard from him, it was assumed that would serve as a basis for the brand to return to the US but not. It is a concept that gives us clues as to what the future design of the electric range that the French house is planning will look like. And not only that, its interior keeps a great secret: the new iteration i-Cockpit. In addition to its electric platform STLA Medium.
The Peugeot Inception Concept is based on the STLA Large platform and shows the new generation i-Cockpit…
The first thing that catches the attention of the Inception Concept is its size, which reaches 4,39 meters long and 1,34 meters high. And we say that it attracts attention, because sits on STLA Large platform which is designed to accommodate much larger models. It also stands out for the aggressive and sharp lines that shape its bodywork. Amen to the Narima glass crystals that have undergone a metal oxide treatment.
Fair-Poor this treatment is what gives the windows that yellow tone at the same time that it allows it to preserve all its thermal qualities. Nor can we ignore the design of its front with optics replaced by the new "Peugeot claws" and the new logo presiding over the set. The rear ends in a peak with a very stretched rear window and under it are located the new large optics with three LED claws and a central area in black...
All in all, the most interesting thing about the Inception Concept is its interior, as it shows the design that will have the next generation i-Cockpit. The central core is the new hyper square flyer which modifies the mechanical connection of the steering by a cable system. Its design is rectangular and is inspired by the world of video games and allows you to access functions such as the weather, the browser or the sound system just move your thumb.
How is your technique…?
Also Inception includes Level 4 autonomous driving thanks to the system STLA AutoDrive. In this way, when activated, the steering wheel retracts and the dashboard disappears to create a more "cozy" space. Regarding his technique, the electric powertrain is dual with 500 kW (680 hp) powered by a 100 kWh battery. In this way, it reaches up to 800 kilometers of autonomy and goes from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in 3 seconds...
The charging system is another interesting section. The Inception Concept features 800 volt technology and induction charging. In this way, Peugeot indicates that it can recover up to 150 kilometers of autonomy in just five minutes. However, the Gallic house plans launch five new electric vehicles on the market in the next two years transferring a large part of the technologies that are released in the Inception. We'll see…
