Citroën Hypnos, the concept car cross over écolo pipo?

[Christophe]

A new hybrid (overpowering this one) at Citroën.

Citroën's response to Lexus or BMW X6? Ah no it will remain a concept because ... phew we are saved! The ingees must have fun ...

By the way, I crossed an X6 on the road it passed me at 180 ... it looks like a hummer ... from behind it's monstrous!

Also funny the date of publication of the news: October 3, 2008 ...

A few weeks before the 2008 Paris Motor Show, Citroën lifts the veil on the Hypnos concept car and thus presents a new expression of an exceptional vehicle.

Under particularly distinguished features, this crossover combines creative technologies to offer performances as remarkable as respectful of the environment while ensuring passengers subtle and strong emotions at the same time.

A sleek and captivating concept car

Perfectly combining the dynamism of a coupé, the elegance of a sedan and the volumes of an SUV, Hypnos impresses. Its exterior style, powerful, fluid and expressive at the same time, suggests a grip in the hands of a rare emotion.

In addition, the attraction that this concept arouses at first glance is relayed by the unique chromatic treaty of its interior as well as by its way of transcending technology to make it closer and more alive. On board, the driver and his three passengers are sure to experience a strong sensory experience of marvelous, pure magic.

Innovation for the benefit of the environment

Equipped with specific hybrid technology, the Hypnos concept car illustrates the integration of environmental aspects by Citroën and emphasizes, once again, that when the Brand is concerned with ecology, it is to combine automotive sensations and efficiency.

Hypnos benefits from remarkable dynamic performance thanks to its 200 hp (147 kW) engine and displays extremely controlled consumption and emissions (4,5 l / 100 km and 120 g CO2 / km respectively).Yeah yeah that's it!

Citroën thus materializes the benefits of the hybrid technology implemented by accompanying its technological approach with a concept car with superlative proportions and daring style.

This second hybrid concept from the firm PSA should cause a sensation at the Paris Motor Show to be held in Paris, Porte de Versailles from October 4 to 19, 2008.

... Also showing the date of publication of the news: 3th October, 2008...

This is normal, Citroën has a considerable lead ...

[Woodcutter]

The problem with a concept is that if it is the size and appearance of a "normal" car, hardly anyone sees it ...

Who remembers the small hybrid concept, the latest from lemon, which promised consumption of 2.9 l / 100 for a vehicle that could have been a C4?

While C-Métisse, much more sculptural and impressive, left its mark ...

[Christophe]

Yeah Leo, ahead like with theEco2000 in 1984! But renault also had his: https://www.econologie.com/renault-vesta ... -3752.html

Meanwhile, Toyota will present in a few weeks in Paris the IQ (with 500 cc engine), a plug-in hybrid version will be available in 2010. Hopefully it will be manufactured in Valenciennes.

It should be noted that Citroên has been sentenced in court for misleading advertising about the consumption of its cars. They didn't advertise it .

Well, where does that come from?

[I Citro]

Indeed, it is a concept because without interest ... A decadent object whose sole function is to flatter the ego of its designers.

Today, the planet, the citizens, need a light vehicle, not exceeding 130 km / h, just the opposite of this.

Source: The daily press.
The Complainant: The magazine 50 million consumers.
The car: The Citroën AX

It turns out that the publicity (even) of a conviction is defamatory and it is better not to attack Citroën. But we must be able to find this in the old issues of 50 million consumers in the time of the AX.

The IQ has already been presented in Frankfort and then in Geneva. In Paris it will be the production version of the iQ.
