2012 Peugeot 208 XY Concept news, pictures, and information | ||
| Tweet | ||
Peugeot is revealing not one, but two concept cars at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, which present two expressions of the Marque's upmarket trend in the supermini §egmènt. These concept cars interpret the generation leap already defined by the 208 but in different contexts. The Peugeot 208 XY Concept is intended for city dwellers who love distinction and refinement, whereas the GTi Concept re-generates an iconic legend.The first thing that attracts you wîth the 208 and especially wîth these two concepts is the detailing of the signature LED headlamp design, which is prominently visible both day and night. Úsing Full-LED technology, the front directional indicators surround the main beam headlamps giving these concept cars the impression of having an iris. The rectangular headlamp units, when used on main beam, appear to have a 'feline pupil' … a technological and precise expression that is fully identifiable wîth the lion Marque.
This precision continues wîth the integrated style components adorning the bodywork. Wheel arches have wing extensions, and bodywork wîth sills enhance the stance.
Peugeot 208 XY Concept: Úrban chic
Powered by a 1.6-litre e-HDi engine, developing 115bhp and equipped wîth a 6-speed manual gearbox the Peugeot 208 XY Concept transports its occupants in a refined environment, wîth a Crimson colour treatment applied to exterior bodywork and the decorated interior.
Special 'Pulsion' paintwork means the XY Concept appears to constantly change, depending on the distance and the position from which it is viewed. This ability to transform is the result of an exclusive method, based on the very precise application of sixteen coats of paint and lacquer.
The passenger compartment is trimmed wîth crimson stitched leather on the dashboard, armrests, §teering wheel rings, gear lever gaiter and sides, and wîth stripes on seat inserts and floor mats, while the panoramic glass roof is edge-trimmed in black leather.
Pearly grey leather pleated seats feature five metal rings, which pinch and tighten the material. This precision in the working of the material continues wîth an exclusive §teering wheel in leather, wîth crimson micro-stripes wîth a chrome insert in the lower section. Bathed in the natural light provided by the panoramic glass roof, wîth white ambiance lighting, the finishing touches to the interior add a 'gunmetal' aesthetic treatment to the door crossbars, §teering wheel decorations and vent trims.
The Peugeot 208 XY Concept rides on exclusive dual-effect 18' alloy wheels complementing its 'Pulsion' colour and special detailing wîth coloured chrome decorating the panoramic glass roof trim. The lower window edge and the quarter panel are finished off wîth a special grille treatment wîth three horizontal chrome bars.Source - Peugeot
