With sleek, powerful, athletic lines, EXALT sits on wide tracks with powerfully rounded wheel arches. The 5-door saloon has a length of 4.70m and is stripped of any superfluous materials retaining only what is necessary. All materials have been carefully selected with an eye to efficiency.
The bodywork features shades of grey that emanate from the bare steel covering most of the exterior to the distinctive 'Shark Skin' rear end. Inside, the 'Newspaper Wood' finish borrows from the pages of major business dailies (quite literally!).
The concept's interior is one of the utmost comfort for passengers and driver alike.
The tailgate features an opening mechanism and provides easy access to the HYbrid-kick, an innovative electric scooter, stowed below the boot floor.
The concept is powered by a petrol-electric HYbrid4 drivetrain with a combined output of 340hp. The 1.6 THP 270hp engine was developed by Peugeot Sport. Coupled with a six-speed automatic gearbox, this petrol engine develops almost 170hp making it one of the best in the world. The 50kW electric motor is used to recharge the battery through energy-recovery braking.
With the EXALT, the French carmaker continues to build on the vision of the saloon it first unveiled with the ONYX concept in 2012, and which we considered one of the top stars of that show. It will take pride of place on the Peugeot stand at the forthcoming Paris Motor Show, open to the public from 4-19 October.
