The Peugeot HR1 is a concept car that was designed by Peugeot for the 2010 Paris Motor Show. It is a supermini SUV and features an innovative hybrid powertrain. Instead of using a diesel linked to an electric motor like in the Peugeot 3008 and Peugeot 508, it uses a 1.2-litre petrol engine. CAR compared the car’s styling being “sort of like the shrunken Range Rover Evoque.”[1]
Design elements from the car were later used in the Peugeot 2008, which went into production in April 2013.[2] The concept is 3.67 m (12.0 ft) long; shorter than the Nissan Juke but longer than the Citroën Lacoste. The Lacoste is the HR1’s sister car, and is also a hybrid.[3][4] The vehicle was also displayed at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, having been announced the previous month.[5]
