Has the French manufacturer found the right formula to counter Tesla? Meet the unexpected Peugeot Présence 100% electric concept car.
Peugeot Presence – When the Sochaux firm has just announced its intention to converting its entire range to electricity by 2030, an independent designer offers us his vision of a large sedan flanked by a Lion, capable of competing with the productions of Elon Musk.
Daughter of… 605?
He is of Chilean origin, currently lives in Milan, and is called Carlos MM. He is the talented founder of the Peugeot Presence study which obviously does not lack. And if the affiliation with the e-Legend concept of 2018 seems obvious, its author claims a family link with a certain… Peugeot 605. But it is all the same less obvious, let’s face it.
Not so far-fetched?
We find at the front the codes initiated by the former Peugeot design boss, Gilles Vidal, through the luminous fangs framing the shield. Peugeot Presence however sees its optics reduced to their simplest expression, just like the grille, of great finesse. It is moreover very probably the path towards which the Lion will tend for the facies of his future models, in the years to come, under the leadership of Mathias Hossan, recently catapulted to the head of the style of the brand.
A techno soon ready
Under the hood or rather under his cockpit, Carlos MM imagined a lithium-ion battery pack with a capacity of 100 kWh which would allow the Peugeot Presence to address the 600 km of autonomy. A value not so far-fetched insofar as Stellantis promises to match or even exceed these characteristics in the coming years. Therefore, if we were to consider only the design of this Peugeot Présence study, we would conclude thatsuch a project seems more than feasible. So, Monsieur from Peugeot: banco?
