Peugeot is at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show with three brand new models: the new 4008 crossover and the concepts 208 Gti and 208 XY. The 208 Gti anticipates a possible sporty version of the little hatchback and is equipped with the same engine as the RCZ: a 1.6-litre 4-cylinder THP unit delivering 200 hp and 275 Nm of torque coupled with a 6-speed manual gearbox that can push it from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 7 seconds flat.

The 208 XY instead might be the first attempt at making an especially refined version of the model: this prototype has been designed and built paying a lot of attention to every detail, and its interior uses premium materials and top-notch finishing. This model is equipped with a 1.6-litre e-HDi units delivering 115 hp and rolls on classy two-tone 18″ alloys.

The Peugeot 4008 debuts with what should be the definitive version that will hit the showrooms this Spring. Measuring 4.34 meters in length, the new all-wheel drive crossover model from the Lion house boasts a captivating and yet athletic design that seems to have met the taste of the audience in Geneva. The model will come with two diesel engine options: a 1.6 HDi producing 112 hp and a 1.8 HDi delivering 150 hp, both of which can be coupled to either a manual or an automatic 6-speed gearbox. Also making an appearance at the Peugeot’s booth and in our exclusive photo gallery is the restyled 107, which was premiered at the recent European Motor Show in Brussels.

Peugeot will show up at the next Geneva Motor Show with three important new models: the 4008, the 208 GTi Concept and this 208 XY Concept. The model comes with top notch materials and trims, and can be recognized by its purple leather finishing, crimson stitched leather on the dashboard, armrests and gear-lever, grey leather upholstery got the seats and also the exclusive leather steering wheel.

As for the exterior, the 208 XY comes with a special 16-layer crimson livery called “Pulsion” which, apparently, gives a different perception of the color depending on viewing distance and angle. Exclusive 2-tone 6-spoke alloys and the different grille (with 3 horizontal bars) also play their parts in making the XY looking quite different from the rest of the 208 line-up. The model is equipped with a 1.6-litre e-HDi diesel unit already featured in 208’s engine line-up, delivering 115 hp and mated with a 6-speed manual transmission. This unit is credited with only 99 g/km of CO2 emissions. Check out the official Press Release after the jump.
