History of the Peugeot HX1
Position in the range of concepts
The HX1 followed the Peugeot SR1, HR1 and SxC studies and was developed by Gilles Vidal, then head of Peugeot design, with the aim of moving the brand upmarket. It was a large, low luxury crossover with a monospace body and a modular 4+2 seat layout.
The hybrid system
The car introduced Peugeot’s diesel-electric HYbrid4 technology in a luxury car. A 2.2-litre HDi four-cylinder diesel of 150 kW, or 204 hp, drove the front wheels, while a 70 kW electric motor, or 95 hp, sat between the rear wheels, giving all-wheel drive and a combined output of 220 kW, or 299 hp. Average consumption in the combined cycle was 3.2 l/100 km with 83 g/km of CO2.
Plug-in battery
The lithium-ion battery could be recharged from a standard electrical socket and gave 30 km of electric-only range, against 3 km for the Peugeot 3008 HYbrid4 that used a similar system in a much smaller car.
