Peugeot Exalt Concept: OFFICIAL

The Peugeot Exalt Concept has been revealed as Peugeot’s vision of the saloon car featuring styling from the Onyx Concept and a hybrid power plant.

We had the first photo of the Peugeot Exalt Concept earlier in the week, but now Peugeot has caught up with that reveal and released a gallery of photos of the Exalt and details too.

With strong design hints from Peugeot’s Onyx Concept – like the long bonnet, short overhangs, bold wheel-arches and crisp lines – the Exalt appears to be a five-door hatch even though it looks like a four-door swoopy coupe.

Peugeot has hand-made the bare metal body panels of the Exalt and covered it in part with a ‘Shark Skin’ material which is said to improve aerodynamics and fuel consumption.

Inside is a new layout based loosely on the i-Cockpit of the 308 with natural wool-based fabrics and basalt fibre with a long centre console with folding touchscreens and digital instrument panel.

Under the skin is a next-gen Hybrid4 powertrain which couples a 266 bhp petrol engine to a 89 bhp electric motor at the back for a combined output of 335 bhp and four wheel drive.

Although the bare metal, hand crafted body panels and some of the fancy materials on the interior would never be cost-effective for a production car, if the Exalt points to a future production model from Peugeot in its design then Peugeot are definitely on the right track.

The Peugeot Exalt Concept will debut at the Beijing Motor Show later this month.
