Peugeot’s latest concept car set for a debut at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show is an MPV concept called the Peugeot HX1 Concept Car, but it’s not your usual soccer mom van – it’s low slung like a JDM Honda Odyssey.
The HX1 Concept measures 1,373mm tall, 1,990mm wide and 4,954mm long, as a comparison, the Peugeot 5008 is 1,638mm tall, 2,118mm wide and 4,530mm long.
At first glance, it looks as though the HX1 only has two rows of seats, with a maximum seating capacity of four. That’s because by default, the rear row is configured for maximum comfort or leg room.
If required, a “center row” can be created in between the front and rear rows thanks to the “pull-out seats” integrated into the back of the front seats.
The HX1 Concept also featured variable bodywork to optimize the car for aerodynamics at different speeds. A spoiler and two side skirts located at the top of the tailgate are deployed above 100km/h.
Power is provided by Peugeot’s HYbrid4 system, which uses a 204 horsepower 2.2 litre HDi diesel engine coupled with a 95 horsepower electric motor, resulting in a peak output of 299 horsepower. The system uses a 6-speed automatic gearbox. The car also has plug in 240V charging capabilities and an electric only mode, which provides a range of 30km.

Aren’t sliding doors a bit more practical…?
DAMN IT JUST GO MAKE IT INTO PRODUCTION NOW!! XP
I love the design… damn futurisstic!
Wow third row seats in the centre, brilliant inno for maximun space n legroom for rear passengers when dun nid to ferry more than 5! I remembered seeing an Estima w centre row seats removed for superb space and kids can sleep on a small mattress for long journeys….
As for the absence of B-pillar, i hope they have strong chassis same workings as the tridion cell in Smart-for-Two for cabin integrity….
Hope this concept materializes and not just another concept…
Hatchback luxury limosine?!
In order to look hugh and grand, car low in height should have very wide body. I hope the 1990mm does not include side mirrows.
BTW does 5008 really have a real width of 2118mm(RR ?) or is it false width which includes the side mirrows?
Sexy creature. Wrong distributor.
