France’s Peugeot has published preliminary details about the Exalt concept that will greet the public for the first time at the upcoming Beijing Motor Show.
Taking the form of a sleek four-door coupe, the Exalt borrows styling cues such as its slim, angular grille, its ripped hood and its sharp headlights form the Onyx concept that was presented at the 2012 edition of the Paris Motor Show. Large alloy wheels and sculpted flanks accentuate the car’s sporty silhouette.
Although interior pictures have not been published yet, Peugeot promises the Exalt concept boasts an upscale cabin with real wood trim, an integrated air purifier and a new infotainment system dubbed Peugeot i-Cockpit. The car presumably offers seating for four passengers.
Power comes from a gasoline-electric hybrid drivetrain that sends 340 horsepower to all four wheels. Additional technical details and performance specifications will be published closer to the concept’s debut.
Peugeot has not revealed what the future holds for the Exalt but sources close to the automaker indicate it could spawn an oft-rumored four-door coupe that would take on entry-level variants of the Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class. The yet-unnamed model would help Peugeot target a younger clientele while moving up a notch on the market in Europe and in China.
The Exalt will be fully revealed online next Thursday ahead of its debut in the Chinese capital. Stay tuned to Leftlane for live images straight from the Beijing show floor starting April 20th
