This is how technology and tradition merge together in Exalt. In the Peugeot i-Cockpit, a digital instrument panel is side by side with toggle switches. The result is pure and timeless." Alessandro Riga, Peugeot Exalt Interior StylistThe Peugeot i-Cockpit delivers an intense driving experience dedicated to enjoyment. The small wheel trimmed in leather and 'chiné', a natural wool-based mixed fabric, and the digital instrument panel are intuitively arranged in front of the driver for improved operation and reading. On the extended centre console, two folding touch screens emerge from the dashboard. The upper screen gives access to the on board computer and the Hi-Fi and navigation systems. The second screen presents a permanently visible control bar to provide access to the automatic air conditioning and the Pure Blue system. Nine Toggle Switches are located on the dashboard, evocative in their design of the world of music. They are arranged in two groups, two to the left of the small steering wheel, seven to the right. This distribution was adopted because of the human brain's ability to easily remember up to seven elements, for their position and their function. Furthermore, the driver is free to associate Toggle Switches with functions, as desired: access to navigation with a particular switch, vehicle settings with another, etc. Activation of the black light system can also be assigned to one of the Toggle Switches. Built into the headlamps, this system is particularly useful during the transition between day and night. Visibility issues are reduced and driving becomes more relaxed with black light, improving the observation of road markings. For the comfort of its occupants, Peugeot Exalt is fitted with an innovative air treatment system called Pure Blue. When stationary, with the vehicle empty, Pure Blue purifies the cabin surfaces by spreading bactericides and fungicides. Once the vehicle is moving, an active filter treats the air before it enters the cabin, eliminating VOCs (volatile organic compounds) and fine particles. So in all circumstances the occupants travel in a purified environment. "Our approach is to have a responsible attitude. Peugeot Exalt is made of raw and natural elements associated with innovative and efficient materials. The idea was to finish the car with useful touches and to do it intelligently with the constant objective of optimising processes to economise on the use of materials and reduce waste. "This responsible approach is also applied in the local sourcing of materials, such as black ebony from the tropical forests of South East Asia." Sophie Gazeau, Peugeot Exalt Colours and Materials Stylist Peugeot Exalt is irresistibly attractive to all motoring enthusiasts, whatever their origin. This concept combines western elegance and eastern sophistication. Fengyou Gong, Peugeot China Stylist Peugeot Exalt advances the approach initiated by the Onyx Concept in 2012. Regarding the work carried out on the body of the vehicle, bare steel is used to accentuate the expressive lines of the vehicle. Associated parts such as the wheels are also in bare steel in order to highlight the markings left by the milling machines. Steel remains bare in all areas where it does not come into contact with the bodies of the four occupants. At the elbows and arm contact points, Exalt is trimmed in warm toned wood. From the bottom of the windows, it gives way to a natural wool-based 'chiné' mixed fabric used to trim the door panels, the dashboard and the interior roof. Between these two materials, a strip made by 3D printing conceals the speakers of the Hi-Fi system. Its structure draws inspiration from anechoic chambers where the dihedral partitions reduce acoustic interference. Each occupant has a special welcome on board the Peugeot Exalt, whether the driver or a passenger. The bucket seats made of composite material incorporate seat squabs and backrest in natural wool-based 'chiné' mixed fabric with the side areas in aged leather. Fabric and leather are worked together in a process that optimises the use of resources. So to avoid off-cuts and waste, the fabric is shaped using clamps. This simple process is inspired by the tradition of fine gentlemen's bespoke tailoring. The fabric then presents surfaces with crisp folds and no stitching. Leather for use in cars has always been selected for the absence of markings then tanned to make it perfect. Optimising the skins, Exalt makes use of imperfections in appearance to make each one a unique signature. Then the leathers are aged naturally, without the use of chemicals. Black ebony wood has been selected for its rare qualities and its indigenous roots to the Asian continent. It bears a motif designed by the trio PINWU Design agency; combining a lion with bamboo stems and leaves, its creation was entrusted to a Chinese master craftsman using traditional techniques. Finally, carbon fibre gives way to basalt fibre, a natural composite. Produced by smelting the basalt stone, it reduces the use of petrochemical resources. << Prev Page 2 of 3 Next >> |
