The Peugeot Hoggar

Peugeot Hoggar

The fascia panel features two central rev counters, the left-hand one for the front engine and the right-hand one for the rear engine.

At the top of the central console there is a vertical touch screen. Occupants can navigate between the different pages by means of bookmarks. The main page, displayed by default, is dedicated to driving and contains the speedometer (supplied by the GPS), the odometer, the current destination, the compass and the inclinometer display (pitch and roll). A page dedicated to the input of "way points" on the GPS also contains the cartography.

Another page allows images from the on-board camera to be displayed simultaneously with information from the inclinometers to facilitate difficult manoeuvres. One page is devoted to the selection of on-board music in the form of digital files (MP3 type). Finally, there is a page dedicated to engine operation (coolant, oil temperature, etc). Malfunction alerts are displayed as a priority on the screen.

Because the Hoggar is designed as an open-air vehicle, the driver's position is largely open and the vehicle does not have a roof. The ‘doors’ are in fact two small panels, forming part of the front wings, beneath which the ground can easily be seen. These panels open in the gull-wing style.

Light emitting diode (LED) technology is used for all of the vehicle’s signalling lights. For the direction indicator function, the front headlamps incorporate three orange tinted plexiglass bars, cut like crystal, behind which are located LEDs. The dipped beam and main beam functions have LEDs that illuminate according to lock, pitch and roll angles. The cut ‘crystal’ side lights are slightly blue-tinted.

While the rear-view mirrors are traditional, a front camera facilitates the choice of turning circle, for example to avoid a small obstacle. Proximity detectors complete the driver comfort functions. The main dimensions of the Hoggar are as follows (m):

• Length: 3.96
• Width: 2.00
• Height: 1.49
• Wheelbase: 2.75
• Front overhang: 0.96
• Rear overhang: 0.52
• The kerb weight is 1300 kg.
