The RC HYmotion4 features four doors, four seats and an AWD system consisting of two separate powerplants powering each axle independently. One of the powerplants is a 1.6L THP petrol engine with an output of 218hp (160kW) and is located at the rear of the car. The second is a compact electric motor with a peak output of 95hp (70kW) and mounted on the front axle.
Together they provide a maximum power output of 313hp (230kW) with low CO2 emissions in the combined cycle of just 109g/km and fuel economy of 52mpg (4.5L/100km). The RC Hymotion4 is also capable of driving for short distances on electric power alone.
Despite this efficiency, the RC Hymotion4 is claimed to be able to accelerate from 0-100km/h in just 4.4 seconds and move from 80-120km/h in 3.0 seconds flat.
Other Hymotion4 concepts include Peugeot’s Prologue, which previews an upcoming 3008 crossover, as well as the Citroen Hypnos and C4 WRC rally car.
