History of the Peugeot SR1
A new face for Peugeot
The SR1 was shown at Geneva in March 2010. It was presented together with Peugeot’s new brand identity and its restyled lion, and designers around the world studied the car to understand where the brand was going in design terms.
The hybrid system
The SR1 uses HYbrid4 technology, the system Peugeot launched in the 3008 in 2011. At the front a 1.6-litre THP petrol engine of 160 kW, or 215 hp, drives the front wheels, while a rear electric motor of 70 kW, or 95 hp, drives the rear axle. In electric-only mode the car is a zero-emission vehicle. When both systems work together the SR1 develops a potential 230 kW, or 313 PS, and gains four-wheel drive.
Economy
In the combined cycle the concept consumed 4.9 l/100 km and emitted 119 g/km of CO2. The transmission is an electronically controlled six-speed.
