Bonjour!
The e-Legend is an Autonomous Electric Modern Version of Peugeot's 504 Coupé
Because boredom is not part of our DNA, because independence does not rhyme with monotony, because the energy transition will not erase 120 years of automobile history, PEUGEOT reveals e-LEGEND CONCEPT. This exciting vision of the future of driving pleasure takes the form of a desirable and iconic vehicle. By adopting a realistic and radically modern template, this projection into the future of the automobile magnifies the genes and the elegance of the heritage of the PEUGEOT brand.
PEUGEOT e-LEGEND CONCEPT is not just a technological manifesto. This is the vision of a brand, PEUGEOT, actively focused on an optimistic and ultra-desirable future. For PEUGEOT, autonomous and electric are synonymous with even stronger sensations. Boredom will never be part of our DNA. - Jean-Philippe IMPARATO, CEO of PEUGEOT
With PEUGEOT e-LEGEND CONCEPT, for us it's about intensifying and refining the experience of 100% autonomous, electric and connected. The Responsive i-Cockpit is enhanced to offer its guests immersive driving specifically customized for each of the four driving modes available. - Aude BRILLE, head of PEUGEOT strategy
In partnership with SOUNDHOUND Inc.?, a leader in artificial intelligence technologies, PEUGEOT e-LEGEND CONCEPT offers a voice-activated personal assistant suitable for autonomous driving. In a simple sentence, the driver can change their driving style, listen to their favourite playlist or even open or close the electrified doors of the vehicle. The system responds with Gilles Vidal’s digitized voice (Style director PEUGEOT) and it includes 17 languages! A version adapted to our production vehicles will be available on PEUGEOT brand products within 2 years.
PEUGEOT and FOCAL are preparing tomorrow's listening together, mixing demand and innovation, for a unique sound experience.
Whatever the source, a FOCAL? acoustic architecture ensures optimal sound diffusion. Heralding the future of embedded sound, the system implemented in PEUGEOT e-LEGEND CONCEPT is specifically designed to offer two new unprecedented sound functions:
- the "mapping", which makes it possible to send the navigation messages to the driver only for example, while the other occupants listen to music,
- the "zoning", which allows for the total individualization of the contents, placing each passenger in their sound bubble without mutual nuisance.
