We knew Peugeot would be bringing the RCZ Hybrid4 to the Frankfurt Motor Show – along with a few other slick rides like the RCZ Sport Coupe – but now we finally have a fuller picture of the technical details of how this concept gets around.
Like the 3008 Hybrid4, the RCZ Hybrid4 uses a 2.0 litre HDi FAP diesel engine to move the front wheels while a 37 bhp electric motor can move the rear wheels. The motor is powered by a 200V nickel metal hydride battery and helps the system achieve an overall 200 bhp. Peugeot says the RCZ Hybrid achieves an impressive 76.35 mpg, but doesn't give the scale. A number that's easier to compare with similar vehicles is the RCZ Hybrid's CO2 emissions: just 95 g/km. More details after the jump.

PRESS RELEASE:
PEUGEOT RCZ HYBRID4 – CLEAN GREEN FUN
* 200 bhp - 76.35 mpg and 95 g/km of CO2
* Four-wheel drive
* Multi-link rear suspension
* First public viewing at the 63rd Frankfurt Motor Show
At the Frankfurt Motor Show, Peugeot will unveil a concept version of its exciting RCZ 2+2 coupé, the RCZ HYbrid4. Based on the same power train as the 3008 Hybrid4, it is powered by a 2.0 litre HDi FAP diesel engine with a maximum power of 163 bhp and a 37 bhp electric motor giving a total power output of 200 bhp.
Its creation clearly demonstrates the flexibility of the Peugeot HYbrid4 technology and the marque's desire to offer this technology in different vehicle types across its model range (crossover, coupé ....)
With the innovative HYbrid4 technology, the RCZ HYbrid4 concept car achieves a level of fuel consumption and CO2 emissions previously unheard of in the world of the sports car: 76.35 mpg and just 95 g/km of CO2. This clearly shows that performance and respect for the environment are achievable together in one vehicle.
The RCZ HYbrid4 is powered by a 2.0 litre 163 bhp HDi diesel engine at the front and a 37 bhp electric power train at the rear. This gives a maximum power output of 200 bhp and a maximum torque of 221 lb ft at the front and 147 lb ft at the rear.
The hybrid power train also benefits the dynamic performance of the vehicle as the rear suspension now becomes a multi-link arrangement due to the HYbrid4 rear power train module, which also provides four-wheel drive.
The RCZ HYbrid4 concept car illustrates more than ever a new chapter in the history of Peugeot's "lifestyle vehicles" and shows that, in the future, performance can live happily alongside respect for the environment.
