Peugeot’s RCZ Hybrid will deliver 76.35mpg

Peugeot RCZ Hybrid Concept was announced to make its debut at this year’s Frankfurt Motor Show and but in the meantime we found out something about the production version of the car.

According to our sources, the new hybrid will deliver an impressive 76.35mpg when it goes on sale. The upcoming vehicle will carry a 163bhp 2.0-litre turbodiesel engine fitted with a stop-start system and with an electric motor that is good for 37bhp and 147lb ft at full tilt. An interesting feature will be the capability of the car to run in front drive, -wheel drive and purely rear drive modes. According to the manufacturer, the powertrain can also easily be converted to use a petrol motor instead of diesel which means that we will see two hybrid versions of the RCZ Hybrid!
