Peugeot RCZ Facelifted – Discover the New Features

If you want to see the new facelifted Peugeot RCZ, here it is…

You will find no changes in the overall shape of this car but details have been added and enhanced.

“The front fascia has been redesigned, the upper grille getting horizontal bars in satin chrome, the lower intake reshaped and stretched to incorporate the six outboard LED daytime running lights that Peugeot says are "subtly sculpted in the form of claws." Two headlight treatments will be available, either halogen set in "Aluminum" or directional Xenon bulbs set in "Titanium."”

You now have eight exterior color choices available to choose from, two of which are new.

“One of the most common items being added to manufacturer options lists is more options, and the RCZ is no different. Outside, Matt (no 'e,' curiously) Black joins the two other colors offered for the greenhouse arches, and customers have a choice of eight exterior colors (two of them new), three decal packs, a Matt or Satin finish carbon roof, laquered black grille bars, and ten alloy wheels in 18 or 19 inches, two of them new, in various finishes. Or they can make things easy and opt for the Black Pack, which gives the RCZ an almost comprehensive blackwash from the Matt Black roof arches to the side mirrors and brake calipers.”

“Inside, Peugeot Connect Navigation migrates from the 508 sedan to an option on the RCZ, bringing a seven-inch screen and all the expected audio and convenience connections as well as the Arkamys sound stage technology. Enthusiasts can choose a Sport Pack that swaps out for a smaller steering wheel, short-throw shifter and a Sound System package devoted specifically to enhancing the engine note inside the cabin.”

“On that engine note, powerplants in 156-horsepower, 163-hp and 200-hp outputs have carried over, but next year will see the introduction of a 1.6-liter THP four-cylinder with 260 hp. The most powerful engine Peugeot has ever put in a production car, it will debut in the matte black and copper RCZ R Concept at the Paris show, and will go into production with the RCZ R toward the end of next year. You'll find more details on the 2013 coupe in the press release below.”
