First images of the Peugeot RCZ Coupé 2013

Hold on to Peugeot because it promises to make a splash at the Paris Motor Show.

Here are the first images of the new look of the Peugeot compact sports car. The Peugeot RCZ will receive an image renovation that can be seen for the first time at the Paris Motor Show, on the 27th of September.

Scheduled to hit the market in the first quarter of 2013, the revamped RCZ now has a fresh look. The front received a new, small grille, a redesigned bumper that houses LED daytime running lights, new headlights and saw the hood slightly updated. For the rear, the changes were only for the optics (now darker). For interior, changes are few or none.

Engine options include:

– 1.6 liter THP with 156 hp and 240 Nm of torque;

– 1.6 liter THP with 200 hp and 275 Nm of torque;

– 2.0 liter HDi with 163 hp and 340 Nm of torque;

In addition to the new RCZ, Peugeout will present in Paris the 260 hp RCZ R, the Onyx (supersport hybrid prototype) and a prototype of the 208's compact crossover.
