Peugeot unveils vision of the future with the e-Legend concept

Adopting a realistic and yet radically modern template, the e-Legend Concept still carries the DNA of the Peugeot brand and exudes elegance and rich heritage.

As the automotive industry undergoes the transition in energy and fuel types, Peugeot is tackling the technological challenge head on, whilst adhering to its philosophy that the technology of the future should exist to deliver driving pleasure for its users.

The Peugeot e-Legend Concept offers four modes of driving - two autonomous and two manual - which can be selected depending on road and traffic conditions, as well as the driver's preference.

When the e-Legend Concept is in either of the autonomous modes, the interior configuration changes, with the steering wheel retracting under the sound bar in order to make the 49-inch central screen fully visible. The front seats recline for extra comfort and the side armrests deploy automatically, freeing up a large storage area and an induction charging area for smartphones and other devices.

The fully autonomous capabilities of the vehicle are designed to give drivers more time to themselves, with Peugeot's acclaimed i-Cockpit, offering a comfortable and intuitively usable environment in which to pursue other activities.

The Peugeot e-Legend Concept is powered by a 100% electric powertrain, with the 100kWh batteries reaching 440bhp and 800Nm of torque, distributed to the four-wheel drive. This level of performance makes it possible to travel to 100km/h in less than four seconds and reach a maximum speed of 220km/h.

The range is 600km according to the WLTP protocol, of which 500km are accessible in 25 minutes thanks to a fast recharge. Peugeot e-Legend Concept cultivates the zero technological constraint mindset by offering induction charging.
