Peugeot HR1

The Peugeot HR1 is a concept car which was designed by Peugeot for the October 2010 Paris Motor Show. It is a supermini SUV, and features an innovative hybrid powertrain. Instead of using a diesel linked to an electric motor, like in the Peugeot 3008 and Peugeot 508, it uses a 1.2 litre petrol engine. CAR compared the car’s styling being “sort of like the shrunken Range Rover Evoque.”[1]
