Inception teases shape of Peugeots to come
Auto Express
|January 11, 2023
"Eighteen miles of range can be added in one minute, with up to 93 miles gained in five minutes"
PEUGEOT has revealed its Inception concept at the Consumer Electronics Show 2023, with the sleek new saloon highlighting an exciting vision for the brand's future and outlining initial details of parent firm Stellantis's STLA Large platform.
The Inception is five metres long, with its size "deliberately chosen to highlight the many innovations of this manifesto". It's set to inspire future products, down to the most compact cars in the range, from 2025.
Mounted between the axles is a 100kWh battery, which the brand claims is good for a range of 800km (497 miles). The battery supplies two electric motors - one on the front axle, the other on the rear for all-wheel drive - with a combined output "close to 670bhp" and a claimed 0-62mph time of less than three seconds.
The platform's 800-volt tech (a first for a Peugeot EV) means it's not just the car's straight-line performance that's rapid; 18 miles of range can be added in one minute, Peugeot says, with up to 93 miles gained in five minutes due to wireless charging tech.
