Out back, it’s pure Peugeot, with taillights which stretch into a rear quarter panels, an Insignia-esque t runk as well as dual exhausts.

Unde rneath the marque-specific metalcover bulge lies the 163 horsepower 2.0-liter HDi FAP diesel motor fuel that, total with a rear-mounted, 37-hp electric motor, brings output up to 200 hp.
