Detailed analysis of the Peugeot iOn · 67 CV (2016-2020)
General description
The 2011 Peugeot iOn, a pioneer in urban electric mobility, presents itself as a compact and efficient solution for the city. With its distinctive design and all-electric propulsion, this vehicle aims to offer a different driving experience, paving the way for a more sustainable future. Its price of €21,852 positions it as an accessible option for those who wish to enter the world of electric cars.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel of the Peugeot iOn, the predominant sensation is one of surprising agility in the urban environment. Its 67 hp electric motor delivers an instant torque of 180 Nm, which translates into a lively response to the accelerator, ideal for moving smoothly through traffic. The absence of engine noise and vibrations creates an atmosphere of calm and serenity, transforming every journey into a relaxing experience. The electric power steering and its reduced turning circle of 9 meters facilitate maneuvers in tight spaces, making parking an easy task. However, its acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 15.9 seconds and its top speed of 130 km/h suggest that its natural habitat is the city, where it truly shines for its efficiency and ease of use.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the Peugeot iOn is unmistakably urban and functional. Its compact dimensions, with 3475 mm long, 1475 mm wide and 1608 mm high, make it perfect for the asphalt jungle. The 5-door body and its 4 seats offer surprising habitability for its size, although the 166-liter trunk is somewhat limited. Aesthetically, the iOn opts for soft lines and a silhouette that maximizes interior space, with a front part that harmoniously integrates the headlights and a rear that emphasizes its practical character. The 15-inch wheels, with 145/65 R15 tires at the front and 175/55 R15 at the rear, contribute to its agile and modern appearance.
Technology and features
The technological heart of the Peugeot iOn lies in its electric propulsion system. Equipped with a 16 kWh lithium-ion battery (15.2 kWh usable) located in the central part, it offers an NEDC range of 150 km, suitable for daily commutes in the city. Full charging with alternating current (AC) takes approximately 11 hours, allowing it to be conveniently charged overnight. Its 49 kW (67 hp) motor transmits power to the rear wheels through a single-speed automatic transmission, simplifying driving. The McPherson type front suspension and the De Dion rigid axle rear, along with ventilated front disc brakes and rear drums, ensure balanced dynamic behavior and effective braking. In addition, it has the '0 emissions' label from the DGT, which underlines its commitment to the environment.
Competition
In the segment of urban electric vehicles of its time, the Peugeot iOn faced competitors such as the Citroën C-Zero, with which it shared a platform, and other incipient models in the electric market. Its main advantage lay in its purely urban focus and its ease of handling. However, range and charging time were points to consider compared to the evolution of technology in later models. Its value proposition focused on efficiency and emission reduction for daily use in the city.
Conclusion
The 2011 Peugeot iOn is a car that, despite its age, remains an interesting option for those looking for a purely urban electric vehicle. Its agility, smooth driving, and commitment to the environment make it an ideal companion for the city. While its range and performance are not those of more modern models, its simplicity and low maintenance cost make it attractive. It is a car that invites you to enjoy driving without haste, with the clear conscience of not emitting polluting gases. A sensible choice for everyday mobility.
